Can you list Mail attachments separately rather than as icons in the text?

Question

In Mail, is it possible to show attachments in a separate list (like in Entourage) rather than as icons buried within the text?

Answer 1

The following command can be entered into terminal to disable the inline display of Mail's Attachments:

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes

to restore the original functionality, use this:

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool no

Answer 2

Right Click on the attachment and choose View As Icon. If you want View as Icon as the default check out Attachment Tamer

Answer 3

I'm not sure how Entourage shows attachments. However, in 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and earlier, you can view all of the attachments in one place by clicking the triangle disclosure arrow next to the paper clip icon below the headers in the message view. They will still show as icons, but this shows all of the attachments in one place. The attachment icons will also continue to be shown inline in the text.

In 10.7 (Lion), this button stays below the headers, but moves to the right side of the screen. Click and hold and it will list all the attachments in a pull-down menu. Again, the icons will continue to be shown inline in the text.
