unable to open MS office files after downloading from gmail - ms-word

When I try to open any MS office file doc, ppt, xls downloaded from gmail it shows a corrupted message as image shown. How to solve this? Is there a problem in installation?

Have you already tried the suggestions shown in the error message?
I'd press the show help button, maybe there's a solution to your problem. Otherwise i don't know what you could do either.

Download message from Google group

I need to download an archived google group.
Following link is one of the messages of that group for example.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
The problem is, what i see in the browser does not appear in the downloaded webpage.
With my very limited knowledge, It seems to me like the reason behind it is this content is dynamically created by java-script. Or else, these downloaded files are with so called 'mbox' extension which is encrypted ?
What I've tried so far
First trys
Simple download
wget https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
With mirror
wget --mirror https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
Assuming its encrypted
With cookies.
wget --load-cookies=cookies.txt https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sci.aeronautics/ViFtpXfVm7M
Got thunderbird to setup my gmail and opening. did not open correctly
Assuming the content was javascript generated
Downloaded using phantomJS

Downloaded using phantomJS with a different script

Used scripts available from Github

But none did not work so far.
Can anyone please shed some light on how to download this page with its message as a readable html or txt file ?

You could use https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/sci.aeronautics/msgs/atom.xml?num=100 to get some of the posts - but it only gets roughly half the posts in this case.
And it has all the messages from all topics together.
View it in Firefox or Classic Opera to see directly in a more human-readable form.
But since you say you already got a file in standard mbox format, what exactly is wrong with it - did you attempt to import it into a locally installed email or newsclient ? (like Thunderbird)

Send HTML email in Outlook 2010 - no 'Insert as Text' option?

I am trying to send an HTML email via Outlook 2010 using the 'Attach File' option, on several articles it says there should be an 'Insert at Text' option but I only seem to have an 'Open' option, does anyone know why it is not showing correctly for me?
I had trouble finding it as well. Found the steps online so i will replicate it here for you. Click on the button on the top after the undo button (looks like an inverted eject button) and choose More Commands
Once the window is open, look for attachments. If you are not able to find it, change the dropdown above it Choose commands from: to find it. Once found add to the right side of the screen and press ok.
Now the attachment icon will be visible on the top ribbon. Now you should be able to see the Insert as Text option when you want to insert a HTML template.
Hope the above steps is the answer you were after.
Since you are creating emails, just a quick note:
Media queries will not work when you send emails thru outlook. Outlook has a habit of stripping it out completely.
Web fonts will not work. Strips it out as well.

Cannot upload files for release in Github

I want ot create a release for my Github project, but when I try to upload my binary (which is a .zip file) to the release, I get the following error message:
Something went really wrong, and we can’t process that file.
I get the same error message if I try to upload some other files (e.g. my readme file). What could be wrong?
Check first if this issue persists with all browser.
I have seen this error message before, where the upload succeeded with Chrome, but not Firefox.
For the record in my case this was due to an obvious mistake: I had to authorize a github script in NoScript.
If someone encounters this problem in China, and is using ShadowSocks, try turning ShadowSocks off.
I was trying to upload an image file in png format on chrome browser but I was getting the same message.As suggested in one of the answer, I turned off windows firewall and it worked.
But my mind was not satisfied and I turned on Windows firewall and converted that image to jpg format and it got uploaded.
But this stubborn mind was not satisfied and told me to upload this in .png format only.God came to my rescue and accidentally properties tab of png image got opened and at the bottom of tab, it was showing
"This file came from another computer and might be blocked".
So I unblocked it and it got uploaded.
I got that error due to my companies firewall that prevents all file uploads. Might this be the cause of your problems?
The problem occurs during file upload because I was using VPN which doesn't allow file upload hence I disconnected from VPN and then try uploading which work absolutely fine. So my advice to check your firewall/VPN settings as mostly Organization doesn't allow fileupload in GIT due to security concern.
I got the same problem on Opera browser(Ubuntu 18.04.1).
Then I realized that my browser does not have permission to access the related(where your files located) partition. I moved the files that I wanted to upload on Github into accessible partition by Opera browser in my HDD, Thus I could be able to upload my files to Github.
It worked like a charm. Hope this helps.
clear your browser's cookies and cache ..after clearing files will be uploaded easily on git without error
In my case. I'm reuploading two zip files to an existing release. One success and another one failed. Tried in both chrome and firefox.
My solution is to use the hub command-line tool.
I use the below command to edit the existing release and attach files to it.
hub release edit --draft=false --attach FILE TAG
For some reason, I had to change its prefix from .png to .jpg and it worked.
I had the same problem which I solved by disabling my firewall. I hope this will work for you
In my case, it was my anti-virus (AVG) preventing the upload.
In my case, Avast antivirus was blocking the objects-origin.githubusercontent.com site, and made the upload fail.
After disabling the antivirus, I was able to upload the files.
Well! That is because your are uploading some images that you have downloaded from the internet like in my case I have used a favicon that is generated from website to solve the issue Image with security details~img1
Image with detail~img2
Remove personal info ~ img3
To solve the problem
first of all head to the images that you have downloaded from internet and right click on image and click on properties
check the unblock checkbox as shown in image 1 and then
click on the details tab as shown in image 2 and then click on the remove properties and personal information
And then check on the remove the following properties on the file as shown in image 3
And then click on ok and then again ok
The given solution will solve your issue it just worked perfect for me
Files cannot be uploaded because your network provider doesn't allow, use different network or apply vpn for uploading the files.

Lotus Notes email as an attachment to another email

This is in Notes 8.5 environment.
I just wanted to know how to attach an email to another email as real attachment not a "Document Link".
I intended to attach an email, so I drag & dropped an email to another email's body but this turned out to be a "Document Link". This is an issue when I deleted the original attachment(an email in this case) and want to open the attachment again.
Tried to drag & drop the email to desktop and attach that through the "Choose file" dialog, didn't work either.
So how can I do that? I'm trying to get the attachment programmatically.
The only way I know is this:
Reassure that preferences | Basic Notes Client configuration | Drag and drop saves as eml file is checked
1) Drag your email to e.g. your desktop or to an explorer instance (will be saved as an eml file).
2) Attach this file to your opened email by either selecting it with the paperclip menu item or drag 'n drop the file into the opened email.
Open msg
Save to desktop
Open new mail
Attached *.eml file on desktop
Sad to say, this is the only way I know which sux because in Outlook, you just need to copy and paste.
Answer from Chris is not possible
because there is no save mail option
(at least in version 8.5) in LN
It is possible, File > Save As
answer from Alexey creates MS Outlook eml files, so if you don't have Outlook e-mail client doesn't help.
Answer from Chris is not possible because there is no save mail option (at least in version 8.5) in LN.
So one of the possible solutions would be to hold control, select all mails you want to attach, right click on the selected mails, from the menu select Forward and it will open the new message with all selected mails in the body of the new message.
You can slecet sent item /email and drag to desktop , it will automatic created new file on desktop. Then you can attach and send it in to new emails.
I have recently encountered the same issue and hopefully what follows will be helpful.
In Windows, the default program for opening .eml files is set to Outlook. Every user of Lotus notes should take the steps to have .eml files defaulted to open via Lotus notes.
Start menu--- Defaults programs---Lotus notes-- and check .eml--- then save.
After performing this, Lotus notes will be the default to open these attachments.
I have been trying to do this for a while also.
Here is what I do now.
Highlight the email you want to create as a file.
Click on Create. Hover over Special, then click on Link message.
This will open up a new tab for the link.
At the bottom of the message is a small yellow piece of paper icon.
Copy this icon and paste into your message like you would any other file.
It is tiny, so I put a statement like "see email attachment ---->" in front of the icon.
You might like this way. Not sure though.
Tested vith Notes versions 6.5.x and 7.0.x
From your Lotus Notes inbox
Open the message
Click View > Show > Page Source
Copy all the data into a text file and save the file with .eml extension.
Create a new message
Attach the .eml file(s) and send the new message
Hop this helps. I have no client on my current machine but will test from home on 8.5.1
Copy the mail as a document link (right click on the mail and you should get this option) and paste it in the new mail. This worked for me
Talking about IBM Notes v. 9 is pretty easy.
To choose the e-mail to be attached and drag until the new e-mail.
Click on email which you want to forward
Edit - > Copy As -> Document Link
create new mail and paste.
it will work
If you are using Lotus Notes V9.X, it is better to drag the mail to desktop as .eml and then attach it to the mail. Safest way so far.
Although probably not exactly what your looking for and you probably don't care at this point since the question was asked 5 years ago, one method is to use "forward".
Go to your inbox or wherever your messages are and select the 2+ messages you want to send than simply click forward... all messages get combined into 1.
I might be very late but encoutered this problem sometime before and saw this link.
Thanks . Please check this shall work.
Goto Create menu -> Section--> Copy email to be inserted
