Math fonts don't display in mail messages?

For some reason when I receive a mail message with math - fractions, equations, etc. these characters don't display. My husband has an iPhone 4 and this isn't a problem on his phone. I am wondering how I can get these characters to display?
Thanks

Hi markatos
Hi Rick Van Vliet
I have the same problem, and I can also (only) underline text.
Since upgrading to Tiger (10.4.8) from Panther 10.3.9, I have experienced a few daft functional problems, eg the 'Enter' key not working on the calculator (the standard one, not the Dashboard version). This turned out to be a '.plist' problem.
Mail was marking all outgoing mail as 'Junk' ... '.plist' problem again.
But I cannot see how to sort this one ... at the moment I am having to format text on a Stickie then paste it into a Mail message in order to do simple things like bold headings (I don't need any more than this really). So the 'Font' palette is working. Message format is set to 'Rich Text'.
Any ideas anyone?
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Why some fonts don't display properly

I use Windows 7, Pagemake 7 (with update 7.01)
Some fonts don't display properly in pagemaker file. Sometimes they look blank; sometimes display in part and the rest as blank. In fit-in Window view, sometimes a page displays properly, and next page is blank, go back to the previous page, it also turns blank. Some times letters look garbled. Display varies as and when the view size is changed.Example for the fonts - Souvenir LtBt . What could be the problem and what is the solution ?

Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font. Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

Outlook can not display htmldb mail message correctly

We are using some applications which constructed by HTML DB. All mail messages from HTML DB applications can not be displayed correctly in Outlook, but they are displayed very well in Netscape mail client. This issue happens in both HTML DB 1.5 and 1.6. Therefore, I am not sure this is HTML DB mail package issue or outlook issue. Have anyone experienced this issue. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is a sample in our application.
We see the mail message in Outlook:

This was not well documented, but we have improved the doc for the next relase. Essentially, you need a carriage return / line feed every 1000 characters. This is part of the SMTP spec. The package does not do this automatically for you, so try adding them yourself. You can use utl_tcp.crlf for the crlf.

Email messages don't display in thunderbird message pane but wdseml file is good.

There are some email messages that don't display correctly in the Thunderbird message pane.
Either the pane is completely empty or chunks of html show up in the pane.
I checked the actual email file stored in:
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\d976yxfm.default\Mail\pop-server\Inbox.mozmsgs
and it looks good, as the Windows 7 explorer window is able to show the email message cleanly in the preview window.
When I click on "View Source", it shows the wrong source file, I think.
The text in the "view source" window doesn't match the text in the ".wdseml" file at all.
Note: I recently migrated my C drive from a spinning hard disk to an SSD, perhaps this caused the weirdness? But, most of my email messages do display correctly, just some of them are hosed.
Any ideas how to fix?
Currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, latest update from Microsoft (as of 3/13/2014).
Thunderbird version 24.3.0.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Windows still has a command processor.
So no need for bash.
type CMD into the search box to locate it
If you can use bash I assume your familiar with CD to change folders.
One little thing I use to save typing is I locate the folder in Explorer, click beside the path so it changes to a C:\ based item and use Ctrl + C to copy it and paste it into my CMD session. CTRL+V does not work, but edit on the windows system menu does.
To rename the files, navigate to the folder they are in and Copy *.wdseml *.eml
once you do the import return and del *.eml to clear out the duplicates from the first step.

Addresses don't clear between mail messages

I have built a custom Mail interface which is only required to send mail. I am using Tomcat 5.5, JSP and Servlets. I am using JDK 1.6. I can send mail with all the bells and whistles with no trouble, attachments are uploaded using an open source package, and attached to the messages, NO Problems there...
BUT, users log into my application, they click on the mail icon and check they mail and send new mail... The "sent mail" is stored in the db, no e-mail is stored in the system. The received mail, which is only actually received from other users of the system, is also stored in the DB for online viewing...which is to say the form input details used to create the mail are stored...
IF the user has selected to have the message forwarded to their "real" email account, then I create an e-mail using the JavaMail API and send it. Currently I am using James Server on my laptop to build and test it.
Now, a user may send a mail message then send another, and another...etc... BUT if I send the first mail message to russ@localhost and the second to russ@beavis and the third to russ@butthead, assuming those addresses are fine...the first will go to russ@localhost, the second will go to russ@localhost & russ@beavis and the third will go to russ@localhost & russ@beavis&russ@butthead....
In other words it is not clearing the addresses set in the previously sent mail message ... it seems that it is holding these addresses as static variables and does not provide a way to clear them...
I even tried setting the Message object to null....but it doesn't help
I couldn't find any info on this issue online anywhere... so I assume it is just me screwing up again...
Any help is greatly appreciated..

I couldn't find any info on this issue online
anywhere... so I assume it is just me screwing up
again...That's always the first assumption you should make.
Any help is greatly appreciated..Under that assumption, you should be looking at your code. First find where you assign the recipients to your message. Look at what you are assigning from. You will find that is something that allows a list of recipients. And I think you will also find that you don't clear that list when you create a new message.

Fonts don't display correctly

I opened a site to make some updates, and several of my fonts are not displaying correctly in the Design window. When I click on Preview the fonts are correctly displayed, but some graphics and text move position. Is anyone else having these problems?

I followed the feedback provided at http://forums.adobe.com/message/6273605#6273605 and renamed the folders tk1 and tk2. This seems to resolve the font rendering issue for Bebas Neue and Rosario, but the Preview page still does not match the Design page with 100% accuracy.
It is at least usable now to make edits.

Foreign fonts don't display or print

There are fonts that install with Mac OS that use non-Roman characters, e.g., Japanese, Hindu, and Korean. There is also a Greek font called Symbol. In the case of Symbol and some others, selecting the font means you get that font onscreen and at the printer. In others, for some reason, that doesn't happen. You select the font, e.g., Geeza Pro, Naskh, and Arial Hebrew, and what you get onscreen is Roman type. I'm trying to use a Greek font other than Symbol; I loaded it so that it shows up in Illustrator's list, but when I type with it, I get plain old vanilla Roman. What am I doing wrong or not doing at all? What does it take to make the font work? I believe it's a Truetype font, if that matters.

What am I doing wrong or not doing at all? What does it take to make the font work?
To type in another script on all modern computers you need to change the keyboard layout, not the font. You go to system prefs/language & text/input sources and check the boxes for the ones you want, plus the box for "Show Input Menu in Menu Bar." Then you go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and choose your language and type. The font takes care of itself.
An exception is if you have a old non-Unicode Symbol font on your machine. This maps some greek stuff used in math to the normal latin character positions, so changing the font will change the characters. But it is best not to use this kind of Symbol, because there is no guarantee that any modern computer will display greek instead of the latin dictated by current standards. Instead for greek you should use the greek keyboard layout provided.

Inline documents don't display in mail

Since I upgraded to ML I noticed my HTML inmail does not display the inline graphics, just placeholders. I checked all the settings I could find in the mail client preferences but found nothing that was optionsal for this. Anyone ran into this before? Know what to check?

DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.
Not on 10.8 at the moment, but As I recall the 10.5/10.6 instructions are the samee for 10.8.

Mail 10.10.1 Don't show sent mail messages

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Fonts don't display properly

Sorry if this has already been answered - I wasn't able to see a previous question like this so...
I am unable to have certain fonts display properly, most troubling is the lack of the Greek alphabet. For instance, changing or typing a letter "b" in Symbol font does nothing. I notice that the font appears to be applied to the text, but it is obviously NOT a "beta". I have also noticed this happens with Wingdings and other fonts like it. Even copy/paste into iPages doesn't work.
Doing a similar thing in software programs outside of iWork is no problem and it does work, so I know I have the fonts (and they're properly installed, etc).
What do I do to get Greek Letters in iPages?

What do I do to get Greek Letters in iPages?
While switching to the old Symbol font may still work for Greek in some apps, modern Unicode apps and OS's do not input different scripts by changing fonts. They change keyboard layouts instead. So you go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for Greek, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Finder, select Greek in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder, and type.
For individual characters it may be easier to use the Character Palette (Edit > Special Characters) as Yvan indicated.

E-mail messages print font too small display font too big

I recently upgraded to OSX 10.4.9 and tried to print an e-mail message.
The message printed in microscopic sized font and I followed the suggestions on the HELP section about increasing font size.
With display font set at 24 the printed message is just barely readable. However, this is unacceptable for display purposes and actually still too small for printed copies of the message.
I connect to an Epson CX4600 printer as a network device on my Apple AirPort Extreme card.
What can I do to print acceptable copies and not have to tinker with the display font every time I want to print?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9) Printer Epson 4600

I tried all the options in Help File in Mail Printing Email Messages
Options were "keep the same apparentfont size" didn't change a thing.
Scale message to fit = result was smaller size font,
Rewrap message to fit, didn't change a thing.
I still can't print out a readable copy of the email.
This particular Email wouldn't even copy correctly into Word so that I could adjust it there, it kept getting cut off and I changing the margin tabs didn't help either.

HT2500 how can i insert a file in a mail message i send to someone? i don't want the picture to be open or the text to be displayed. I want to send the file as a file. Pleas advise.

Attach it to the message. An attachment is an attachment -- if it is displayed or not by the recipient's e-mail client is not under your control.
You can zip it (compress it) before sending it; if it's text, you should zip it anyway; if it's JPEG, zipping will not reduce the size (in fact, it's even possible it may increase it slightly), but most e-mail clients do not display what's inside a zip archive.

Contact photos in Yosemite Mail messages don't display

My contacts all have photos and email addresses defined but mail messages only display the "initials" icon instead of their photo. This seems to be happening on both of my Macs and my iOS devices.
Anyone experiencing this found a fix? Thanks in advance.

Random messages won't display in Mail

Hi,
Using Mail 2.0.8 on a MacBook Pro 2GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.5.
Main account is set-up as IMAP. Recently, I began noticing that some messages will not display in Mail, nor will they be marked as read. The message shown in the preview pane is:
The message from <sender> <sender email> concerning “subject” has not > been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in > order to download it.
However, the account is online. All other messages received at the same time display properly. There are no characteristics common among or unique to messages that behave like this, at least as far as I can discern. Ultimately, without any specific actions, the messages will display properly.
If I go to my webmail account and read the message, Mail will update soon after to show that it has been read. So clearly the account is online, as Mail can send and receive commands to set the status. Still, the message will not display.
Has anyone experienced similar behavior, and have you found a solution?
Thanks!
Patrick

Ernie, David, et al,
Perhaps I spoke too soon. I continue to have the same problem with Mail and my IMAP accounts, which are advancing beyond annoying. I am now considering moving to another email application, which is something I really don't want to do. Following is a brief update:
* After moving the Mail folder and plist file to my desktop, restarting Mail and entering my accounts again, it worked properly for a short period of time. The behavior reappeared soon thereafter. (I had mboxes on my Mac, not on the server, and for some reason I cannot import them again).
* I have a bad habit of using my email as a file system, so my inbox was huge. So I took the time to create a bunch of mboxes, file messages, and otherwise clean my inbox. It's now 1/4 the size it was. I'm also trying to habitualize dealing with email and attachments to either file or delete messsages when the come in (so far, so good).
* When I get a message that exhibits this behavior, I can now Rebuild the mailbox and the message will show. Rebuild occurs quickly because my mailbox is so much smaller, and I've not lost any messages. The messages that previously would not display at all now display properly. However, I must Rebuild every time I receive a message of this type, which occurs several times per day.
* It appears that messages with attachments display properly, but those without do not. It also appears to be highly likely that all the messages originate from an Exchange Server (I know this to be true of several clients, and others are very likely). I also know for a fact that many that I receive properly are not using Exchange Server.
* Calendar invitations from Notes work as intended (show up in Mail as ICS files, notifications appear in iCal which allow me to set my status and reply); however, those from Exchange Server only show as text messages (and don't display until I rebuild).
It appears to me that the problem may lie, at least in my case, to how Mail handles Exchange Server items in IMAP mode, and not just an IMAP bug, but again, I cannot isolate this and be 100% certain.
Will keep you posted.
