Email Issue with wrong characters

I tried to adjust the size and font on my email as it was hard to read and now some of my incoming email has strange characters in them. There are capital AAAAAAAAA with a box around them. I was wondering what I did wrong and what the default fonts/sizes are so I can change it back. This is my first Mac so please be gentle.

Monge10,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try resolving duplicate fonts using Font Book.
I do not remember what the default fonts/sizes, but this is what I have set:
Mailbox font: Lucida Grande 11
Message list font: Lucida Grande 12
Message font: Lucida Grande 14
Note font: Marker Felt Thin 16
Fixed-width font: Lucida Grande 12

  • GUI Download Issue with Chinese characters

    Hello,
    Currently we are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC. I'm using GUI_DOWNLOAD
    function module to download the data from SAP to desktop. I do have an
    issue with Chinese characters while downloading the file from SAP to ECC.
    In 4.7 the Chinese characters are being downloaded (I haven't used any
    code page) perfectly, but where as in ECC the downloaded file has junk
    characters instead of Chinese.
    Is there any change in the GUI_UPLOAD FM.
    For your reference below is the code present in the program

    Hi bharat,
    please check whether you ecc 6.0 is uni coded or not (as you upgraded).
    If it is not uni coded then you will not be able to print the Chinese characters.
    You can see whether it is uni coded or not by the following
    in your app toolbar under system click on status.
    There you can see whether your ecc6.0 is uni coded or not.

  • Web Logic 10.3 upgrade causes issues with escaped characters in JSP.

    We recently upgraded our application servers from Weblogic 9.2 to Weblogic 10.3 and we are having an issue with escaped characters in a JSP code. Here is an example of what we are seeing:
    var convertedBody1 = document.getElementById('body').value.replace(/\$FIRST_NAME\$/g, firstName);
    This code works in Weblogic 9.2. In Weblogic 10.3 we have to make the following changes:
    var convertedBody1 = document.getElementById('body').value.replace(/\$FIRST_NAME\$/g, firstName);
    Thanks, Tom

    Hi:
    I have resolved the issue with the following in the jspx page.
    Put an
    <jsp:scriptlet>
    response.setContentType(“text/html; charset=UTF-8”);
    </jsp:scriptlet>
    Inside the <f:view> on the jspx file.
    Please refer the link http://www.oracle.com/global/il/support/tip/nlss11061.html for more details. It is helpful.

  • Issue with Japanese characters in files/filenames in terminal.

    I recently downloaded a zip file with Japanese characters in the archive and in the files within the archive. The name of the archive is "【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌 第一等.zip"
    The characters are properly displayed in firefox, chrome, and other applications, but in my terminal some of the characters appear corrupted. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/4R22m0D.png
    Additionally, this leads to corruption of the files in the archive. When I try to extract the files, this is what happens:
    % unzip 【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌 第一等.zip
    Archive: 【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌 第一等.zip
    extracting: +ii/flac/Let's -+-ʦ1,000,000-.flac bad CRC 5f603d51 (should be debde980)

    extracting: +ii/flac/---- -instrumental-.flac bad CRC 569b6194 (should be adb5d5fe)
    I'm not sure what could be the cause of this. I'm using uxterm with terminus as my main font and IPA gothic (a Japanese font) as my secondary font. I have a Japanese locale set up and have tried setting LANG=ja_JP.utf8 before, but the results never change.
    Also, this issue isn't just with this file. This happens with nearly all archives that have Japanese characters associated with it.
    Has anyone encountered this issue before or knows what might be wrong?

    Maybe 7zip or another tool has workarounds for broken file names, you could try that.
    Or you could try to go over the files in the zip archive one-by-one and write it to files out-1, out-2, ..., out-$n without concerning yourself with the file names. You could get file endings back via the mimetype.
    This script might work:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <zip.h>
    static const char *template = "./out-%04d.bin";
    int main(int argc, char**argv)
    int err = 0;
    zip_t *arc = zip_open((const char*)argv[1], ZIP_RDONLY, &err);
    if(arc == NULL)
    printf("Failed to open ZIP, error %d\n", err);
    return -1;
    zip_int64_t n = zip_get_num_entries(arc, 0);
    printf("%s: # of packed files: %d\n", argv[1], n);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    zip_stat_t stat;
    zip_stat_index(arc, i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, &stat);
    char buf[stat.size];
    char oname[sizeof(template)];
    zip_file_t *f = zip_fopen_index(arc, (zip_int64_t)i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED);
    zip_fread(f, (void*)&buf[0], stat.size);
    snprintf(&oname[0], sizeof(template), template, i);
    FILE *of = fopen(oname, "wb");
    fwrite(&buf[0], stat.size, 1, of);
    printf("%s: %s => %lu bytes\n", argv[1], oname, stat.size);
    zip_fclose(f);
    fclose(of);
    zip_close(arc);
    return 0;
    Compile with
    gcc -std=gnu99 -O3 -o unzip unzip.c -lzip
    and run as
    ./unzip $funnyzipfile
    You should get template-named, numbered output files in the current directory.

  • Email issues with PC users

    I am a web project manager and email daily with both PC & Apple users. I use Apple Mail as my default program. I have had countless issues with the formatting of my email appearing differently to PC users on Outlook when sending or forwarding Rich Text emails. I try to stick with plain text but sometimes Rich Text is required.
    My current issue is orphan "B" characters are appearing through out the body of my email text when sending or forwarding Rich Text emails to PC users. This is NOT visible at all in my Apple mail program. This does not occur in plain text. I recently switched to sending in UTF-8 format - could this be the issue and if so what is the best solution.
    I am interested in feedback on the best way to efficiently communicate with PC users using mail and what the appropriate configurations to do so would be. I really don't want to have to switch from Apple mail to use another program but when dealing with co-workers and clients who are not tolerant of these errors I must find a solution.
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

  • Emails arriving with Chinese characters

    Hello,
    I have a couple outside contacts that send emails to my users regarding travel. Flight itineraries and the like. Those emails usually have a PDF attached. Not sure if that is relavent or not. The emails display in my users Outlook client (2010) with Chinese
    characters and some other odd characters (like a smiley face and hearts).
    The research I've done points at the senders email server having the root issue. Perhaps they just had a patch applied and it changed the locale or they may be using a Lotus Notes server.
    Lately, we've been getting more in from another outside source with the same problem, so I'm wondering if it isn't actually on my Exchange server (2007). Does anyone have an idea of what I could check to verify that this is or is not on my end of the pipe?
    TIA

    Hi,
    According to your description, I recommend you use pipeline tracing to troubleshoot the issue.
    Please refer to the following article to understand pipeline tracing:
    Using Pipeline Tracing to Diagnose Transport Agent Problems
    Pipeline tracing is a diagnostic feature in Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 that enables you to capture diagnostic information about e-mail messages as they encounter transport agents registered on Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) events in the transport
    pipeline. Exchange captures verbose information about the changes that each transport agent applies to messages in the transport pipeline in message snapshot files. If transport rules are configured, Exchange Server also records any actions that each transport
    rule takes on these messages.
    How to Enable Pipeline Tracing
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks.

  • Email issue with ISP - advice appreciated

    We seem to be having a strange issue with email and our ISP.
    Using OS-X mail, all patched up and on the latest versions of everything. Every two or three months email stops working with no warning, errors or notification. The ISP says that we have been blocked due to excessive failed password attempts, even though it's been working for two months and no passwords have been changed.
    The only way around this is to have the ISP unblock the ipaddress and on the local system delete the ISP certificates from Keychain (login) access, although on one occasion when the ISP was being particularly slow, simply deleting the certificates did the trick.
    I'm not getting anywhere with the ISP - I am unable to get past first line support and pre-formatted answers telling me how to reset my passwords and what combination of numbers, letters and characters make up a good password. (Nativespace in case you're wondering!)
    Advice appreciated. "Leave Nativespace" is already being considered,
    thanks and regards
    Simon

    Meant to say, the certificates are up to date and haven't expired when the email fails.
    My system has several email accounts going through the same server at the ISP - sometimes they all fail, sometimes only one or two.

  • IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

    Hi
    I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
    I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
    Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

  • Issue with Czech characters in PDFs generated from RSTXPDFT4

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to generate PDF documents from the spool of the Billing document outputs in our project.
    For this we are using the standard program RSTXPDFT4, which converts the SAP script OTF to PDF format.
    But the Czech characters in the billing document output are not getting displayed in the PDF generated out of it.
    We are already using a device type I2HP4 when creating the print request , which supports Latin-2 Character set ( ISO 8859-2 ), to which the special characters
    of East European languages belong.
    Even then , the czech characters are not getting displayed in the PDF generated.
    We have raised  a message to SAP for this, and SAP informed us that currently the only solution to this is to use Latin 2 soft fonts,
    and to upload these soft fonts into R/3 System using report RSTXPDF2 as they contain the Eastern European special characters plus all the other characters in ISO 8859-2.
    But, since character font definitions (font files) are protected by copyrights, SAP informed us that they cannot provide these font files and we have to acquire
    these latin-2 font files by searching in search engines in the internet.
    If anyone has the information where we can get these "Adobe type 1 Latin-2" font files with '.PFB' extension,  for the proper display of Czech characters, please let me know.

    Hi,
    Did you or anyone manage to find a reasonable solution for this issue?
    I'm currently facing something similar but with Polish characters instead.
    I tried using RSTXPDF2 to upload .PFB and .TTF files but to no avail.

  • Issue with cyrillic characters in path while exporting using script

    Hi everyone!
    It seems that there is some issue in CS5 with exporting document using vbscript (not sure about other scripting languages) and path containing cyrillic symbols. Error popped up every time I try to execute the line docRef.Export path & fname, 2, exportOptions if path containing non-latin characters (probably it only affects one with cyriilic characters though). Command docRef.SaveAs path & fname, jpgSaveOptions, True, 2 works just fine with any kind of path supplied. In CS4, CS3 and CS2 versions this problem doesn't occur.
    Is this a known bug and what I should do with it if it's not? I really want help to improve Photoshop;)

  • Issue with special characters in SAP CRM ICSS application.

    Hi ,
    I have issue with the special character in CRM web application.
    1. In CRM IC Webclient application(5.0) . i am copying and pasting some special characters in the description of the service request document. then this is saving the character as it is.
    But when i am opening the same service request in SAP CRM  ICSS(Internet Customer Self-Service) application, then the special characters are converting to different characters.
    I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this or not.
    Can anyone please suggest how can i correct this. Or is there any standard solution to handle the special characters in ICSS.
    Thanks

    it's in output but what is data in database ?
    sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
    in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
    Original (Coming - output):  "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
    Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value.  (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
    that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
    Expected (output):  "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
    as super scripted in xml?
    as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

  • IPad Email issues with the new iOs4

    Well I guess downloading and being the first one to use these software rollouts is not a great idea. I have an iPad with WiFi and 3G. I rely heavily on my iPad for email. Here are the issues that I can concur with other users:
    1. Main email account sometimes sends email and sometimes gets hung up. If I switch off the wifi and turn it back on or 3G it will send out. If I cc a copy to myself it sometimes winds up in a spam folder. This is a Yahoo email account.
    The solution: open the Yahoo email account in Safari and view as a web page. To send emails shut the wifi off and turn it on see if that "reboots" the email.
    Apple must come up with an email fix to this ASAP -- it is possible there is a compatibility issue with Yahoo and the new iOS4 or the Mobile Me that I downloaded
    2. Email in the "drafts" folder cannot be sent or moved to the "inbox" to resend when ready
    3. Emails being sent to my Yahoo account are received

    Response to hils26, 11/25/10: I am having ongoing issues of a similar nature. For lack of a better word, I would describe it as "leeching". Before upgrading to ios4, my drafts were being readdressed to an addressee in the next saved draft; sometimes the subject line was changed as well (subject of the next saved draft). Before I noticed, I had sent several personal emails to an unintended addressee.
    Now I find that the subjects are being changed in my inbox emails. I cannot even describe the strange emails I find in my yahoo inbox and sent folders...they appear to be spam offers sent to myself and several others from my address book.
    This is not only potentially embarrassing; the security breach can affect business conducted via email...which is the primary use for my iPad.
    Is this happening to anyone else?

  • Firefox Web Browser connectivity and email issues with Comcast connection

    I have been having an issue with Firefox conecting through Comcast both to xfinity home and especially to email for the past 2 to 3 months. I finally solved the problem. Comcast requires no proxy setting. To solve the problem go to Firefox Tools, click on Options, click on the tab Advanced. Click on Settings, the check the box for "No proxy". Click Ok. And that did it! Am I glad. Reading email was getting very tedious with all the waiting.

  • Browser and email issues with OS 10.9.4

    Had a problem that I thought had been solved.  See thread here: Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues
    Now a week or so later, it's back.  Same symptoms.  I have followed the procedure posted by Linc Davis.  Anybody have further ideas?
    Don Hutchins

    If you are using Safari, try going to Safari/Preferences/Advanced and set the develop menu to show. Go to the develop menu and select Empty Caches.
    If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari/Remove all web site data.
    For Mail, try:
    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there. 
    Information learned from Linc Davis. Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
