Posted by on September 17, 2010 2 comments

Symptom : Openvpn network shows as “unidentified network” and is grayed out ( you cant click it to change the network location )

Solution : add these lines to your config :

# NLA issues
route-metric 512
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

restart your connection

make sure the openvpn network is either “home” or “work” network :

Mac mail attachments preview

explanation from mac support forums : If the document is just a single page; Mail in Mac OS will show you the actual document rather than an icon for the attachment. Other mail applications do not do have this feature so they’ll just show an icon for an attached document regardless of how many pages the attachment has.
turn off :

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes

trun on :

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
