How do I include the subject from an email in the body of a response email?

First off, let me apologize if this is addressed somewhere else in the forum. I searched used many different variations on the theme, to no avail.
So, yes, I am a former PC/Outlook user who made the "switch". For the most part, I couldn't be happier. However, one thing that I have been searching and searching for an answer on is: including all the info from an original email (i.e. subject, to, from, date) in a response email. Because wording this is a bit tricky, I am going to show what I mean by example.
Apple Mail includes the original email info like this:

Point is, I would like to include more info than Mail allows. Is there anyway to set it up to include all the Outlook-style info? The preferences do not seem to address this issue and every single friend/co-worker of mine who I email with all have no idea. Thanks for your repsonse. Cheers, Jay

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
I use the Append Selected Messages feature to do this. Prior to clicking on Reply, you can highlight the smallest amount of text, and then delete that text, and then Append the message by having Selected in in the list of messages.
You can do this for one, or many messages. With a Reply, you would only append the one message. See:

  • How do I include a page from web search into an Email?

    I have a HP TouchSmart 610-1147c Desktop computer. running Windows 7 64 bit.  I should have known the answer to this question years ago, but I don't....terrible huh?  Anyway, how do I include a page from a web search that I did into an Email?  Believe it or not, I've never had to do this before, so don't have the faintest idea how to do this.  I have a feeling that it would be sent as an attachment, but how don't know how to do that!!
    I would appreciate any help that anyone would take the time to give me.  I thank you beforehand for having patience with me and my silly question.

    This question was solved.

    Well, the way I would do it is to copy and paste the web address in the email, so the recipient can click on the link and get right to the Web page.
    For example, I just googled "horses," and here is the result of that search:
    http://www.google.com/#hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=horses&oq=horses&aq=f&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_l=h...
    I highlighted the Web address, copied it, and then pasted it in the response.  Same thing can be done into an emial.
    Does that make sense?  Or were you looking for something else?

  • Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put in on Facebook? Thankyou

    Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put it on Faceboo? I use hotmail and please tell me step by step as I am not a tech guru lol. Thankyou

    Hi jscher200,
    Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
    To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
    I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

  • How would I get the Body element background to open at  the scale of the browser window

    How would I get the Body element background to open at  the scale of the browser window? I hear that by using an HTML tag or CSS rule I could scale a background that is placed in the body element without using javascript is this true? 

    The most reliable solution is to use small image slices or tiles and repeat them down and across the page or container division.
    CSS EXAMPLE:
    body {
         background: url(your_image.jpg) repeat;

  • In a jsp page how can i include another page from differenct web context

    Hi,
    i want to include a page from another web content to my page. How is it possible. For example in a jsp page i want to include "http://www.google.com". How is it possible. can i use <jsp:include tage for this purpose? any idea?
    Edited by: JavaHeroPrince on Apr 2, 2009 12:05 AM

    I'm afraid you cannot do that using <jsp:include/> tag.
    However, you can achive this using <c:import/> tag which comes with JSTL core tags.
    Please find the below example of how to go about.
    <%@ taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix = "c"%>
    <c:import url = "http://www.google.com/search">
      <c:param name="q" value="c%3Aimport+jstl"/>
      <c:param name="rls" value="com.microsoft:en-us"/>
      <c:param name="ie" value="UTF-8"/>
      <c:param name="oe" value="UTF-8"/>
      <c:param name="startIndex" value=""/>
      <c:param name="startPage" value="1"/>
    </c:import>

  • How do you include the jre in your installs?

    This is a fall back and punt question.
    My organization develops desktop (Swing) Java apps. To deploy, we have an install program that first runs the JRE install that you download from Sun's web site, then we copy our own jars and data files and so on to the user system. This "two step" approach works, but it's clumsy and ugly.
    How do others deploy the JRE? Do you have your customers run the JRE install themselves, automatically run it within your own install, or do you mix Sun's files in with your own and copy them all at one time? If the last, what do you do about registry entries? (As in, worrying about overwriting entries if the user has already installed a newer version of java, etc.) Are there other complications?
    I guess I'll just try it and see what happens, but if anybody has some helpful hints I'd be anxious to hear them.

    Instead of including the JRE install file and running it you could just include the JRE directory with your install program. (C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05 for example) This way you won't mess up any java installation that may already be on the target machine.
    Simply start your app with a batch or .exe file using a relative path to the java/javaw command. I use the following free program along with any standard installer:

  • How can I include the article text/body in the RSS feed of the wiki updates section?

    I recently migrated from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server.  Largely, because some people had trouble accessing via their PC under SLS.
    Our primary tool is the wiki. 
    In Snow Leopard Server, we could generate an RSS feed for specific saved searches or recent changes/updates, adjust article length in the RSS feed, etc.  Using a feed burner, like Feed My Inbox, we were able to have a daily digest "emailed" to a mailing list.  Whereby, we'd get an email of any wiki articles that had changed, along with text from the body, so we can see the changes to the article in the email.
    With Lion Server, the only RSS "feed" we can find appears to be on the Updates page.  Which is fine. Are there others?
    Second, the we can't seem to change the article "length" at all.  All we see on the Updates feed is the title, change date, who made the change.  We used to be able to see a few sentences of the article body/text for each article...not just the title, but some of the changes.
    Of course, our feed burner, now only sends along the article title in the digest...no text beyond that.
    We've used the built in push notification in Lion Server, but again, that sends a nice email saying Wiki Article Title "X" has been modified by User "Y" with the date/time stamp.  You can click the link to read more, but no article /body is sent.
    Is there a way to generate an RSS feed/link that shows not just the recent updated titles, but the first few lines of text in the article body itself in the index/summary?
    I appear to be missing an easy way to generate RSS feeds, based on search criteria.  And changing the article length in the sidebar, to max, never seems to show any of the wiki article.
    How can I show a portion of the wiki article body/text underneath the title of the article in the RSS feed in Lion Server?  Not just the article title and changed date?

    About a month ago, I spend zillion hours to migrate from Eudora to Mail.
    Eudora has been wonderful to me since Day 1 back in the early 90's. But, it has been discontinued as a commercial product. I had used the Japanese version of Eudora for several years, but it did not like communicating with Exchange at work.
    I tried and tried various email clients before settling on Mail.
    When I pictured interactions among my Mac, iPhone, and whatever email client I choose, Mail was just the simplest way. But, Mail is not Eudora. And, I dearly miss Eudora.
    If there is no way to alter the contents of received email in Mail, I would have to adopt your approach on a case-by-case basis.
    Thanks for your help, though.

  • Adobe Captivate 4 - How do I include the playbar in the movie, rather than below it?

    Hi,
    As the title says, how can I have the playbar displayed inside the movie window rather than as a seperate entity below it?
    We used Captivate 1 up until recently to make our training videos. We would use the playbar "PresenterSilver" and then insert text boxes into the slides as a sort of guide as to what section the user was currently viewing. We would also use this to show the author and the date. A static image was used as a background also (this was created in Fireworks to look the same as the PresenterSilver background).
    This setup worked fine for all our movies. However when we upgraded to Captivate 4 the PresenterSilver skin is no longer there. The playbar is also no longer part of the movie but is below the window.
    I was wondering if it possible to include the playbar the way it used to be. If not, then can someone suggest a work-around? I was looking at it earlier and I see that you can use image files as backgrounds around the player. This is not ideal as I think that the images remain static for the entire movie. And we could not have a set image (e.g. Part 1 for slides 1-3, Part 2 for 4-6 etc.) for different slides, it would have to be the same the entire way through. If I am mistaken please let me know.
    Thanks for your help,
    Eoin.

    Hi there
    Unfortunately Adobe changed the playing field with version 4. You are no longer able to have the playbar occupy part of the main movie.
    Please report this as a bug to the development team. The link is in my sig.

  • How can I include the mouse in screenshots?

    I am constructing a guide and need to include the mouse to indicate where I am pointing at. How would I go about doing this? I tried the hot keys and grab and still no mouse shows.
    Thanks!

    I like to use Skitch.com, as it allows me to annotate the screen capture as soon as I get it.
    While it does not capture the mouse pointer, it is trivial to add your own Arrow, or circle, or text to the screen capture and then drag the image into your document.

  • How can I include the Frame Number  when using "Export Frame"?

    Im using the button at the bottom right of the Playback Control Panel called "Export Frame".  This does exactly what I need but I have a lot of frames that need single frame exporting. How can I get the file name to automaticly include the frame number at the end of the file name? 
    For example, instead of it displaying "Sequence 01.Still001"  by default.  I would like for it to display "Sequence 01_0001"   Letting me know that is frame 0001.
    This is possible, correct?

    Well what about in the export option using CTRL + M?  I saw a coworker using this method in an older version of Premiere, but we can't enable it on CS5.5.  Being able to export a single frame as a bmp that has the frame number at the end of the file name.
    Example:
    Output Name: Sequence 01_0001.bmp
    Under Video Basic Setting is:
    Export As Sequence UNCHECKED
    Field Type: Progressive
    Frame number still doesn't show at end of file name.  What are we missing?
