Mail not displaying inline images correctly

This is not a problem specific to Lion, but most recent OS X versions. Regularly I receive email formatted as HTML, which includes JPEG images embedded within them. These images are technically attachments, and as such, Mail.app displays them as a placeholder. Other mail apps will display these images inline, regardless of them being an attachment, remote image or otherwise.
How can I make these images load automatically?

No-one replied, but I found a solution on another board. Run Terminal (do a Spotlight search if you don't know where to find this), and type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
This will force Mail not to disable inline attachment viewing. Obviously, to reverse this, simple replace 'false' at the end with 'true'.

  • Mavericks Mail - Not displaying Smart Addresses Correctly

    Using OS X 10.9.1. If I add a contact into Contacts (formerly Address Book), Mail does not display the smart address for that contact. But if I remove the email address from the contact entry in Contacts, Mail shows the email address as a smart address (hiding the email address and only displaying the name). Please see the attached image example.
    Unchecking and re-checking Smart Address in Mail's Preferences is not fixing the issue. Rebuilding Mail has not worked, and neither is restarting.
    Does anyone have an idea as to what is going on?

    I see exactly the same behaviour in 10.9.1, but unfortunatelly so far didn't find a workaround for it.
    But I can offer a slight bit more insight into it: When switching to classic view, the Smart Address is not used in the list view of all available mails, but is used correctly in the mail itself ... same holds true for your case. If you open the mail and look at the displayed name within it, the Smart Address will be used.
    It somehow seems to be a bug in Mail to me, since an inconsistent behaviour between the two views seems everything but not wanted. I already submitted a bug report, but maybe an additional report from your side might be helpfull.
    It would be also good to know if anyone else is seeing exactly the same inconsistency, simply to narrow down the possible glitch...

  • Mail not displaying embedded images

    A few weeks ago, Mail suddenly stopped displaying embedded images in email messages - newsletters, product announcements, etc. The Viewing Preference is still set for "Display remote images in HTML messages," yet all I see are place holders. In my Junk folder, if I click on Load Images in the Junk banner, it refuses to load those images. They simply remain as place holders.
    Anyone else experiencing this problem? Suggestions?

    Hi gumnutnijna,
    Does this only happen when using your GMail account? Do you have any other accounts set up on your BlackBerry smartphone to test with?  Also, to confirm, are the messages still in your GMail account inbox on your computer?
    Thanks.

  • Mail not displaying embedded attachments correctly

    Hello all,
    I have a strange problem that I can't seem to find any information on anywhere. Whenever I receive a photo or pdf embedded in an email message, I get this:

    And this goes on and on and on. Mail won't display any of this stuff correctly. I have HTML enabled in my mail settings. What else can I try to fix this issue?

    So your Gmail account works fine for you when you just view it on the web through your browser, but you have this problem with attachments when you set up Apple Mail to view your Gmail account, is this correct? Just trying to clarify.
    I'm not sure what's going on. I use Apple Mail with my cable ISP's email service and I use Yahoo and Gmail both, but I strictly view them using the web based interface. I've never tried to set up either one to be viewed in Apple Mail so I don't think I can offer much advice.
    Correct me if I've wrongly assumed something about your question.

  • Mac mail not displaying complete images

    Hi. For some reason, mac mail (on Lion) has started to cut off images I receive on emails. It will display about the top 10% of the image and the rest in greyed out. I've tried opening the image on various bit of software and it's always the same. However, if I look at the same mail on the ipad then the image in the mail displays fine.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

    Installed 7525HP photosmart printer earlier today.  Since installation, Outlook does not display linked images when I open emails.  p6620f HP desktop computer. 

    You're probably not going to like the answer: Welcome to HTML-based email, and web (browser- or mail-based) rendering incompatibilities and quirks.
    Newer Microsoft Internet Explorer is (much) better than older releases, so see if a newer Windows client or a newer version of Outlook does better.
    If you really want to see what's going on here, view the raw HTML that's getting generated, and see what Microsoft wants or uses or expects within Outlook, and send that.

  • Mail Not Caching Loaded Images

    Running Leopard and Mail 3.1 with multiple IMAP accounts:
    So I like Mail's ability to NOT load images when I first view an email... it's a great way to avoid massive amounts of junk mail. My problem exists when I've told Mail that I DO want to load the images... they aren't being cached. So if I quickly view an email... load the images... jump to another email... then try to come back to the first one... none of the images are still there. Requiring me to reload them.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I missing a setting somewhere? It seems to me that these images should be cached by Mail somewhere on my machine so that I don't have to load them every time I view an email.

    Bump again. I can't seem to get Mail to load inline images no matter what I do. Mayday.

  • My Mac Pro is not displaying any images for videos or games, it is showing sound and working but nothing else. DVD player is also coming up with an error.

    My Mac Pro is not displaying any images for videos or games, it is showing sound and working but nothing else. DVD player is also coming up with an error. I'm not sure why neither is working, it just suddenly happened. I have done nothing different.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • Aperture 3 project does not display any images in one Project

    This is a strange situation.  The bullets below outline the situation:
    The project does not display any images
    When I place the pointer over the project it shows there are 500+ images
    I have located the RAW images stored in my aperture library
    I can pull up the images using a smart folder and searching for photos taken on the event day
    This is happening only to one of my projects that I know of (weird!!)
    I have tried to 're-add' the image by both importing and dragging and dropping into the project, neither works
    I tried the following basics:
    Fixed permissions
    Rebuilt the database
    Tried to re-import the data, but when I have the 'don't import duplicates' these are not an option
    Found the images in my Aperture library
    I created another project and drug all of the images into that project
    Any idea how I can fix this?
    My fear is that if I delete the original project, the original master images will be deleted.

    The most common cause of this is some sort of stuff in the search box at the top of the browser that you don't expect to be there. Just clear it and all your images should show up.
    RB
    One note - if you drug your images from one project to another it moves them vs copies them unless you hold down the option key.

  • Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

    I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
    I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
    Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
    Many thanks.

    If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
    Is this a local or online PDF?
    If local, is the file really exactly the same?
    If online, in what browser?

  • Error in Acrobat 8: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly...?

    Hi,
    We perform the e-signing on any PDF using our custom e-signature plug-in. Once that's done, when we try re-opening the PDF in Acrobat version 8.0.0.0, we get the following error:-
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
    Please note that this error occurs intermittently and is NOT observed in Acrobat 7 or 9.  Also, when a plain PDF is opened (i.e. a PDF without any signature on it) then there is NO error.
    Could you let me know what could be the issue here? I read it in Acrobat 8.1.3 release notes that such an error was a known bug in version 8.0.0.0 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407016.html), but I am not sure of its cause.
    Let me know your comments/suggestions.
    Thanks!

    I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
    Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking  ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
    Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
    Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
    However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
    Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
    Awaiting reply!
    Regards.

  • Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly.

    This question was previously published but no answer has been found.
    Error message is :
    "Cannot extract the embedded font 'F2'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
    Many pdf documents display this error with Adobe Reader 8.1.0. We have errors for embedded fonts 'F0','F3','F7' and so on.
    It looks like a Adobe Reader bug because :
    - All PDF files can be opened with Acrobat Reader 5.0.5, 6.x and 7.x, can't be opened with 8.1.0 version.
    - the 8.1.1 update removes only the bug for 'F0' error message (issue #1572280).
    The solution :
    - to publish a 8.1.2 update to fix this important bug
    - is there a registry parameter or tool option to disable the checking added in 8.x version of Adobe Reader ? The 8.x version catches more errors to be compliant with Adobe specification but Adobe reader must be
    compliant with all documents generated by third party products.
    This Adobe Reader bug applies to Windows Vista, XP Pro SP2, 2000.
    Thx,
    Regards

    Just to let you know, for anyone else with this problem. I had this problem occur on a MAC when you tried to do save to PDF in excel. This was all happening at the point of generation of the PDF in my case.
    The fix was to delete ALL the microsoft preferences, but perahps only the font cache needed to be deleted.
    I deleted the following areas from the local users userprofile on the mac. On windows, I would probably log in as a differnet user to try to see if the problem just exsists for one particular user.
    Here are the sections I deleted:
    Library/caches/metadata/Microsoft*
    Username/library/preferences/com.microsoft* ( and anyhting with microsoft in it)
    I did leave the entourage settings though.
    hope it helps someone with a similar issue.
