In Mac OS X Mail some emails are not displaying the correct font size.

I have set my Mail to display email messages (Inbox) to Courier 13 point (easy to read) and most messages are displayed that way, however I often get emails that are displayed in unreadably small and often colored type. I don't understand why this is ... could someone explain how to fix this? Thanx.

The email was probably sent from Outlook as RTF or HTML. You can tell Mail to display those as plain text as well by opening Terminal and typing this command (quit Mail first):
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE

  • I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

    That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

  • How do I access mail in the Cloud? some emails are not on the iMac because I opened them on the iPad. How do I download then to the iMac?

    How do I access mail through the cloud that is on my iPad but not pushed to the iMac?

    There is a forum for iCloud on my Mac, I would recommend posting there or iCloud on IOS devices forum.

  • Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on my blog, but other browsers are.

    I have a web designer issue. Firefox is not displaying the correct font color on the header in my blog. Explorer, Chrome, and Safari have no problems. The page is in css but this particular section has html code o designate color. The code is as follows:
    <font face="helvetica" color="FF9966" size="1">blog</font>
    Though all other browsers display the light orange color designated, Firefox displays white. Strangely, if if retype the code by spelling out a color, Firefox displays it correctly. i.e.
    <font face="helvetica" color="black" size="1">blog</font>
    ... will give me black. You can see the effect by viewing the link below and looking at the word "blog" in the header, which should be light orange but is not in Firefox.

    Actually it also seems to work in the current Firefox 4 beta as it is.
    The code is not right though - the correct syntax for the color attribute with hex values is with a # at the start, so:
    color="#FF9966"
    It might work in Firefox 3.x if you change that.

  • Some of my emails are not displaying images. When I click within the email, the webpage is the same. How can this be fixed?

    I use hotmail and the problem only happens with certain emails, like Homedepot and Redbox. Within the email, it states "Having trouble viewing this email? Click here.", but when I click this, the same problem persists, no images displayed. These are the only two I have noticed that are not displaying the images. Please help. Thanks

        Hello riopeltravel, let's solve this mystery! What make & model phone do you have? Also, have you tried deleting the email account off of the phone and re-adding with the username and password? How long have the email accounts stopped working? Keep us posted!

  • Some PDF files and other emails do not display the whole page. Is there a way to change that?

    Some PDF files and other emails do not display the whole page. Is there a way to change that?

    If an app does not behave as expected, try closing the app completely and reboot the iPad. It appears as though you have the original iPad. It helps if you list your iPad model and the iOS that you are running.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

    Hello:
    Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

    Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
    Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
    Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
    There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
    The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Updated to firefox 8. now some favicons are not displaying, either on site or in bookmarks.

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate. After updating to Firefox 8 some favicons are not displaying, either on websites or in my bookmarks.
    Thank you.

    I have the same problem, but note: the problem is NOT that the dotted-line box is showing up per se; it's that favicons that used to appear on bookmarks no longer do so, even though a valid favicon exists for that Web site, and even though I visit the Web site again by clicking on that link and even though about:config confirms that favicons should be showing up.
    In other words, favicons are not being saved or refreshed; they are all turning to the dotted box icon and staying that way, no matter what.
    To repeat, the dotted-line icon is not the problem; it's the loss of favicons that appeared properly in FF7 and the failure in FF8 to update favicons after clicking on links.
    In a possibly related bug, the Adblock Plus icon no longer appears in the Navigation Toolbar, even though about:config confirms that it should and even though the option to display in the Navigation Bar is checked and even though an icon does appear in the Status Bar and even though the add-on is installed and otherwise working normally.

  • COPA Derivation Rules are not assigning the correct values

    COPA Derivation Rules are not assigning the correct values when we process billing documents in batch.  We currently have derivation rules defined to take the ship to country and refer to custom tables were we identify custom geographic groups (INT/DOM and EAM, AP, etc.).  The derivation rules work accurately when the billing documents are created individually, and more than 75% of them are accurate when generated in batch, but in some circumstances, it populates the derived values with the wrong field and we can not identify where or why that's happening.  It looks like it may have something to do when the ship to customer number account group is different, but that's not consistent..  Does anyone know how or where these values get populated, or have any ideas why incorrect values are appearing sporadically throughout the billing run?  Thanks!!!

    Leigh,
    Apparently the function module is changing the values for some billing docs. Check one of the following user exits, if it gets triggered and the values are changed:
    COPA0001  Enhancement for derivation in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
    Function Module: EXIT_SAPLKEDRCOPA_001
    COPA0002  Enhancement for valuation in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
    Function Module: EXIT_SAPLKEAB_001
    COPA0003  Enhancement for assignment to profitability segment (CO-PA)
    Function Module: EXIT_SAPLKEAK_001
    COPA0005  Enhancement for actual data update (CO-PA)
    Function Module: EXIT_SAPLKEII_001
    Function Module: EXIT_SAPLKEII_002
    Award suitable points if the above helps. You can also reach me at [email protected]
    Thanks

  • 'You Are Not Using The Correct Type of Phone Cord' Error

    Having a issue with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it  received a send error.  I ran fax test and it came back with "You are not using the correct type of phone cord".  Nothing has changed since I last fax'd but I check the lines and connection, everything appears ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1-line and Officejet '2-ext' is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call out and receive calls on the phone connect to the Officejet.  My assumption is that since I can use the phone without issue there is nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I was having the same problem.  I'm using a the 2 wire phone cord provided with the printer and still getting this error.  Turns out that it related to have a phone extension plugged into the printer.  If I unplug the telephone form the extension jack on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I was even using a 2 wire cord on the phone extension but it seems that simply having a telephone plugged into the extension jack will cause this error. 
    Run the test without a telephone plugged into the printer's extension jack and you should be fine.
    Worked for me!

  • My Airdrop Photos are not showing the correct date when I receive them from my Family.

    When I recieve photos via Airdrop or Shared Photo Stream they are not in the correct order in my Camera roll. The Dates are off. What is happening here?

    You don't need to delete photos from your camera roll to save on backup sizes, you can turn individual items on and off for back up in your iCloud back up settings.
    Apple States that the last 3 back ups are accessible, which means the photos from your back up may not be removed immediately.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Emails are not displaying content. Not asking for password.

    Usually with every sign in/opening Mozilla, I am asked for my password for my account. As of this morning, it is not asking me for my password. When I click on a previously viewed email, it shows a blank screen. There are some emails that show normally, but most are not showing the content at all (just blank)??
    HELP!
    Thanks,
    Jen
    ''(E-mail address removed by moderator. Please read the [[Forum Rules and Guidelines]]) Thanks!''

    I am connected to the server, and it appears Mozilla is connected to the server. I am receiving emails and can read the emails that have been received today. But any emails I received prior to today I cannot see (this includes emails that I have opened and read, and emails that I haven't opened). Can you direct me how to review my password information and prompts? I don't know why it is not prompting me for my email account, but my childrens emails the password prompt comes up.

  • Apple Mail software - email is not displaying in folder

    I kept thinking it was something I was doing wrong (and it may still be!).
    I have Apple mail (my own domain, not Google's email system)...and my folders are kept in the cloud (Apple's cloud).
    Ever since I went to Mavericks when I try and browse through my folders the emails are listed there but clicking on an email does not display its contents. It is  a blank screen. My in-box is always fine. But my folders I sort mail into… a list with blank for the individual email's contents.
    I read through the forums and the best I could find was that the email folder needed to be rebuilt. But doing so only worked temporarily. If I quit my email and go back in, same problem. And it's also really, really slow in displaying the list.
    Very odd.
    ><({(º>  

    Figured it out...
    Turned out iCloud does not like odd characters in the front of folders.
    I had Tildes in front of special folders and folders with older projects and clients.
    Once I removed the Tilde everything got a lot better.

  • My new ipad photos are not in the correct albums

    Ok so I got the new iPad, and transferred everything including my photos from my iPad 2 backup. I have about 600 pictures divided into 7 folders. After syncing, I looked at the photos and saw that the pictures are on my iPad but not in the correct folders.
    For example, say I've got a Pets folder, Wallpapers folder and Personal folder. Those folders are on my iPad.  On my computer, the Pets folder only has pictures of my dog, the wallpaper folder only has some background images, etc. on my iPad the pictures are all jumbled up. When I click on the Pets folder, there will be a few pet pictures, a few wallpapers and a few personal photos. Same for the other folders.
    I tried resyncing from the backup and resyncing not from the backup. All with the same result. I also checked the folder I'm syncing from on the computer, and the photos are all in the right place there.
    Kind of frustrating. Ever heard of this before and is there a solution?

    Well I fixed it, accidentally on my own. My pictures were still jumbled up. I had to save another picture from the Internet onto my camera roll, BAM, suddenly all of my photos shifted into their correct folders.
    Somehow Saving another picture fixed whatever the error was. In any case, thanks for the help everyone. If anyone else has this issue, try saving another photo to your camera roll.
