Mail: How can I change the view on incoming messages?

For some reason I can't read right across the page on incoming messages. Only way to do this is by dragging the whole window across.
I've tried changing view/textsize but no joy. People tell me that they can't read right across on messages I send them.......... Can anyone help please?
Problem has only just started......

The other option is that the incoming mail maybe in a format that doesn't match how your Mail account is set up. Does this only happen with email from certain sources, as happened to me?
The way to crack it is to select the message by highlighting it in the Inbox list, then go to Format and if it's available, select 'Make Plain Text'. There may also be an option to 'Make Rich Text'. Either way, it should tell Mail to read the text in a different way and so wrap it to the frame size of the message window rather than having the line disappear into the distance. If this fails you may have to open the message by double clicking on it and trying the same thing again.

  • How can I change the icon for incoming messages on iChat?

    I already changed the icon for the ichat app, but whenever i get a new message it reverts back to the original icon with a number on the corner. I have an icon for the alternating messages i just don't know how to change it. HELP?!

    Hi,
    It's a long time since I changed an Icon on anything on my computer.
    The icon for the App is stored in the App and there are two ways to change  it.
    You can do a  Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) on the app itself and then Paste a new icon to the top field.
    The other way is to edit/change the icns file in the App itself.
    Right/Control Click the app and choose Show Package Contents.
    Open the Contents folder then Resources and the iChat.icns file is in there
    I am presuming that if you use the first method - the bit that puts the Red area with the number in it uses something else (possibly the icns file)
    I cannot find any "supply" of the red numbers.  In fact I use Chax (An iChat Add-On) that changes this  to the first part of the first IM that is not read - which suggests the red area is the important bit.
    If you do try to edit the .icns file I would save the Original first.

  • How can I change the disabled of a message text input base on a choice

    how can I change the disabled of a message text input when a dropdown list value is changed? I declare the primaryclientaction but I don't know how to make the event automatically change the disabled of the message text input to true or false.
    HELP!!!! IT'S URGENT....

    Hi,
    assuming you are using ADF Faces:
    Put a submit(); in the on-change javascript event of the dropdown.
    In the disabled property of the input text use some EL to reference the value of the dropdown eg disabled="{#{! bindings.Fruit.inputValue == 'BANANA'}"

  • How can I change the view of Download Folder in Dock

    I used to have my Download Folder in my Dock show up as a vertical string of icons with the latest at the bottom, when I clicked on the Folder. I recently had to drag the Downloads Folder back into the Dock after it had disappeared from there.  After doing that I now notice when I click on the Downloads icon in the Dock, it now shows up as a page full of icons.  I prefer the original vertical listing.  How can I change it back?
    Hope someone can help on this one.  Thanks.

    That's not an option. Under Display As, you have the view options for Downloads

  • How can I change the view of an image

    Hi!! I want to ask if anybody know how to open a document from a content area not with the explorer, but with another image viewer.
    Thanks in advance!!

    dpi,
    If you are talking about a raster image placed in Illy, you can only change the size to get the desired PPI/DPI.
    If you are talking about raster effects or a raster image created in Illy, you may set the desired resolution of raster effects, or the desired resolution or total pixel x pixel size of the exported/saved image.
    If you are talking about pure vector artwork, the resolution depends on your printer (driver) (settings), as Doug said.

  • When I do a search for a particular song in the iTunes store, how can I change the view for the results?

    I have the latest version of iTunes.  Today I did a search for a particular song.  In the past, I used to get a list of the song and the various artists who recorded it, and I could click the little arrow and play a preview of that song before I decided to buy it.  Today the results didn't display that way - instead, I got a page with probably 50 or 100 songs all spread out across the page, and the "writing" was all overlayed so you couldn't quite tell what you're supposed to see!  I want to go back to the "list" view but couldn't find anywhere to change the view preference.  Any idea how?

  • How can I change the view of mails list

    In the list of received messages has only one way of displaying information - detail.
    With this method of displaying the message list displays all the information in one line, and is divided into columns.
    This is useful when very wide monitor.
    In my case the laptop screen is not very large and much of the information is hidden (requires horizontal scrolling list).
    Windows Explorer, can display list of files in the view "Content", when the information about the file appears on multiple lines. This method allows to save space horizontally.
    Is there a way to customize the display list in Thonderbird like that?

    See the View > Layout menu.
    If it does not look right, please restart Thunderbird after choosing a different option.

  • How can I change the view of my emails in web browser?

    This is going to sound really petty.
    I recently was forced to change everything to iCloud, it's pretty useless. My MobileME account is hooked up fine (not tried the iPad yet, heaven forbid) but when viewing the emails in the browser I cant change the way they're viewed. With MobileME I had all the emails along the top, with a line of text. Now they're stuck on the hideous chunky side view, where I can only get about 5 emails on my screen at once.
    I'd really REALLY be annoyed if I cant change this, as it was fine before and I cant find the same button.
    Ugh.

    The only things you can change in iCloud.com mail is the width of the message column and hide the filing system.

  • How can I change the view size to make it my default?

    the view size is way too small with pages that I open on Firefox. I want to change the size and I want to make it my default so I don't have to click on zoom in everytime I open Firefox. Where can I change this? I have Windows Vista.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
