Formatting of incoming mail

Lately some incoming mail arrives with incredibly wide text lines. Is there a way to control this? Is there an easy way to reformat a message in my inbox so I can read it without paging over to finish each line? Thanks.

Are the problem messages received messages that were
forwarded by the sender or newly composed messages by
the sender?
To check if the received message was formatted in
HTML, with the message open, at the menu bar go to
View > Message. If the received message was formatted
in HTML, Plain Text Alternative will be an available
selection.
If available, select Plain Text Alternative to see if
this resolves the problem.
If so, the problem is caused by the sender using HTML
formatting.
Thanks. This worked with a text-only message that was a reply to an email by me. Don't know how it got into HTML, but that fixed it.
The other one is not forwarded, but appears to have been cut and pasted from an email received by the sender. The text is reformatted effectively when I select "plain text alternative," but of course I lose the graphics.
Thanks for your help.

Can I change the time format of incoming mails, in Mail? Now I have AM/PM, but I live in Denmark where we don't use that format. We have a 24-hour clock format i.e. 14:52 instead of 2:52 PM.

Format of incoming mail changed?

The "from" "subject" "Date" and "to" in incoming emails are now formatted like paragraphs with 1 1/2 Inches before the next line. I don't know what made this happen and where to go to change this back to normal. It is most aggravating. Can anyone help?

How to change font size of incoming mail in mail app?

Formatted text in many incoming mails (written in outlook?) is ridiculously small. There was a terminal command to cure this annoyance but that doesn't work in OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro anymore! (Nor can it be set in the preferences). How come it's not possible to adjust the text size of the mails I receive permanently and once and for all? Talking about the best OS ever?
Thanks in advance!

Its there
Go to Tools -> Options
Then under Environment you've fonts and colors tab where you can specify a higher font size.

Apple Script: Incoming Mail - bigger Text with Rule

Salve!
Have some Problems to create an Apple Script. At first - some Mail Accounts from Incoming Mails in Apple Mail App (Mountain Lion) are very fine with Font Size. Some Mail looks like Font Size 6 in the Inbox. Ok, i can size the Font higher with CMD and + ... but it is manual... i dont like this workaround.
So i create an new Rule in Mail App - Incoming Mail from XYZ and then start this Apple Script XYZ...
But i am an beginer with Apple Script and it will not work. Can you please help me? I will start the Script with Apple Rule. And the Script must formated the new incomming Mail with Font Size 12 (or 14... or... Number is only one Number)...
Can you help me please?

Launch Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app and see if the undocumented defaults setting defaults write com.apple.mail MinimumHTMLFontSize 12 (that's mentioned here) works for you. That example sets the minimum font size to 12. You might need to restart mail after the change; I haven't used this setting in a while.

What do i put in the Incoming Mail Server...?

I have Road Runner and I dont know what to put in the Incoming Mail Server box...any ideas...?

Contact RoadRunner or check it's help web site for the server addresses. There should be a POP server and an SMTP server for POP mail. For IMAP mail (I don't know if they support this format) there will be an incoming mail and outgoing mail server (the outgoing mail server is usually the same as the SMTP server.)

2 copies of incoming mail

Someone just gave me a macbook. When I set up Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3), with 3 accounts set up exactly as Mail (Version 2.1.3 (753.1) on my old ibook, I get two copies of incoming mail. I can get rid of that by making one of the accounts inactive, but that solution makes me nervous (afraid I might miss some emails). Can someone please help me find the right solution to this problem?

Hi- I ran "Software Update" a second time before your message came in, this time I got Mail 2.1.3 as part of a security update. I also repaired the permissions. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem. However there is a new clue: the problem happens only with one of the secondary addresses (the one I use most frequently), again seemingly implying some sort of set up problem. I got the computer from a friend as a gift the other day. It had no hard drive whatsoever. I installed a new Hitachi 500gb drive, formatted it and installed the software from the disks that come with the computer (if all of that is of any help). Again, I appreciate your help. -Howard

Some incoming mails are totally unreadable after installing 10.6

Some, about 20%, of incoming mails are totally unreadable gibberish after I installed Snow Leopard on my Desktop MacPro. The same mail reads fine on my MacBook Pro (also now running 10.6). An example of such a weird mail is here:
ha sa S 7 s i ssho sb s s as s osg s h s skowassi wo sMag ssi s Ma s
Oiga sM ssag ... and so on and on.
If I copy the unreadable message and paste it into TextEdit it converts to other unreadable characters and numbers. If copied into a MS Word doc it appears as perfectly readable text.
Has anybody seen something similar?

OK, I think I have found a workaround for the problem. It is indeed a font issue... (thank you, William Lloyd, to point me in that direction!)
If you get an unreadable message switch to "Reply" or "Forward" and you will be able to read the message (make sure your own mailbox font or message font - set under Preferences>Fonts - is anything except Courier or Chicago) and you will be able to read your mail. Select the message text and go to Format>Go Fonts and switch to several other fonts. As far as I can see all fonts work OK except Courier and Chicago. Obviously Courier is a popular mail font, so all mails written with it arrive garbled. If I use Courier or Chicago as my Message List font in the preference settings, all mail windows become unreadable!
When I write a text in "TextEdit" and switch to Courier or Chicago - it will become unreadable. Possibly this happens in other applications as well...
However - this only occurs on my desktop PowerMac, not on my MacBook, which makes this glitch especially puzzling. I have not yet tried to re-insall OS 10.6.

Incoming mail fonts changed

For some reason, all my incoming mail comes in with an Arial bold font that is very hard to read. The same thing has happened on random web pages (yahoo, google, amazon). Any ideas how this happened and how to change them back?
Thanks,

Were all received messages composed in HTML?
With a received message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and if Plan Text Alternative is an available selection, this indicates the message was composed in HTML. If available, select Plain Text Alternative and all text will be converted to the font you have chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > Message Font.
When a message is composed in HTML, the sender controls the formatting and the Mail.app does not include a preference setting to automatically convert all text composed in HTML to Plain Text for received messages.

Exchange Incoming Mail Routing

Hi,
I want to test a scenario where currently I have 4 Physical Exchange 2010 servers (3 are in a DAG). They all have their own external IP addresses and can all receive and send mail. I would like to test the scenario where Only 1 of the servers is receiving
the mail although the "internet" can send to any of the 4, therefore I assume this is a network routing style issue, however is there anything in Exchange where I can send incoming mail to 1 server before it hits one of the other 3? Currently it
would appear any of the 4 receive mail at any time and it's all a little random.
I would be happy to keep outgoing as it is for the time being.
Background Info: I inherited a very patchy/ broken 2007-2010 upgrade 2 years ago and am just starting to sort out the minor irritations e.g. spam, certificate warnings and backups!
Thank You for any advice you can give.
regards,
Jonathan Ward

You could always try the telnet method. The e-mail doesn't have to come from outside your organization for you to test this, all you need is the ability to establish a SMTP session and complete a single transaction.
Try something like this:
==================
telnet <ip-address-of-server-1> 25
helo
mail from:<[email protected]>
rcpt to:<[email protected]>
data
from: [email protected]
to: [email protected]
subject: blah blah blah
Leave a blank line after the subject
quit
=====================
Or you can just drop a correctly formatted text file (with a ".eml" extension) into the pickup directory on any one of the machines.

ERMS incoming mail stored as RAW document

Hi Guys & Girls,
I have an issue, which I don't know how to resolve.
We are currently upgrading from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0.
In 5.0 we used the IC and the agent inbox in order to get mails routed to the correct department.
Now we have decided to use the Webclient UI profiles (with ServicePro as basis) for all departments. It was quite easy to integrate the Agent Inbox in the Webclient UI profile.
We now transform the AUI item (Workflow item from the ERMS1 workflow) with the mail inside to an activity of type 0004 (incoming mail).
Here comes the problem:
The maildata is within the ERMS stored in a RAW object linked to the Workitem.
Because this is a RAW document, the mail looses all formating when you want to reply with the original mail included.
this is because the mime_type is set to plain_text.
Is there any way to not have a RAW document in the ERMS Workflow.
I believe it is incorrect that ERMS just ignores the type of mail coming in and transforms it into a RAW document.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Micha, comment ça va ?
SICF handler CL_SMTP_EXT_SAPCONNECT is generally used to process incoming e-mail.
I am not sure, but it seems that incoming mail data is always forwarded to SAP BCS (CL_SMTP_EXT_SAPCONNECT->IF_SMTP_EXTENSION~HANDLE_REQUEST, around line 240), which possibly then holds incoming mails with format. Maybe you can tweak ERMS workflow or the caller of that ERMS maildata so that it uses BCS mail data instead.
Following code snippet shows how to retrieve BCS objects using a SAPOFFICE key:
data:
object_id           type        soodk,
lv_send_request_id type        sysuuid_x,
lr_send_request     type ref to cl_bcs.
object_id-objtp = 'OBJ'.
object_id-objyr = '35'.
object_id-objno = '000000000001'.
cl_crm_email_utility_base=>get_bcs_obj_from_bci_key(
                              exporting is_bci_key = object_id
                              importing ev_bcs_key = lv_send_request_id ).
if lv_send_request_id is not initial.
lr_send_request = cl_bcs=>get_instance_by_oid( lv_send_request_id ).
check lr_send_request is bound.
endif.
Maybe, maybe...

Incoming mail going to Archive, not Inbox

On Dec, 2 I submitted this question:
Dec 2, 2013 6:12 AM
My incoming mail now goes to the archive file instead of the inbox file. I have changed nothing and it still shows up in the inbox but allnew notifications go to the archive file. I am using OSX 10.9 Any ideas hoiw to fix this?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion
It was suggested to delete the account and then add it anew. That seemed to work fine, but two weeks later it all began again. All the incoming mail goes to an Archive folder and no new notifications are shown in the new mail accopunt? I hate to have to delete and reopen the accoiunt every few weeks.
Any ideas? I see the same issue on other discussions but no explanations?
