Really odd bug in Mail

I occasionally receive pictures from a japanese friend's mobile phone. The file names are like 画像-0203.jpg. The odd thing is mail will just decide to display whichever picture it wants regardless of the number. Let me explain clearly.
(for those wondering, 画像 is pronounced Ga Zoh, it just means Image)
I receive a mail with image 画像-0198.jpg, it's a family playing Wii in japan.
Maybe a little later I will receive another mail from the same person, image 画像-0203.jpg, which in reality is someone singing karaoke but instead displays in the email as 画像-0198.jpg the family playing Wii in japan.
Now if i SAVE those pics, they will save as the correctly named files. If i view as a slideshow, they will display as the correct images. But for some reason in the emails, they all get displayed as the First file i receive.
I tried checking what happens when I quit Mail and reopen. Well the first email I click on from that person will become Mail's favorite and Mail decides to show THAT one in every email. I'm assuming Mail is having trouble with Unicode. What doesn't make sense is, even if Mail is viewing the Unicode as its double-byte equivalent, that's only 4 characters... it shoud be able to differentiate between "DGHY-182" and "DGHY-205" (just as an example).
This HAS to be a bug.

The ability to permanently delete a message without moving it to the Trash first, by means of Edit > Cut (⌘X), seems to be a feature rather than a bug -- I assume you meant Command-X, not Ctrl-X.
It should only work if the main Mail window is on the front and the messages list pane is active, though. Typing ⌘X when a non-editable message window is on the front should do nothing (and it does nothing on my system, just beeps).
Could it be that, for some reason, the message window wasn't the frontmost window when you hit ⌘X? That would certainly explain what happened and it would be intended behavior...

Really stupid bugs in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

Hi everyone,
I decided to write about all bugs that I discovered in Mail 4.2 (Snow Leopard 10.6.2) since there is no known solution and since Apple's MobileMe Chat Support does not have any clue how to resolve this issues. First – I have three configured e-mail accounts: MobileMe, Gmail (IMAP) and third-party IMAP account.
The issues are:
1. IDLE command turned on causes new mail sound stop working. If I unchecked this option in all accounts (also MobileMe) the sound is back. If any of the accounts has this option checked, sound stops working again. So I found a workaround (not a solution) – I set checking for new mail to 'every 1 minute' and hoped everything would work.
2. But it's not working as one could imagine... At first it is, but then, after some time for no known (at least to me) reason Mail doesn't receive any new mail from third-party IMAP account and Gmail. MobileMe is still working. I tried every solution that in my opinion could have helped: erasing account and setting it up again, rebuilding mailboxes, deleting envelope index file, repairing permissions etc. Nothing helped. I even installed once again Mac OS X 10.6.2 Combo Update to be perfectly sure I did everything.
3. Next bug I discovered is with sending e-mails. Since I sometimes want to have access to my draft messages from internet I checked 'Store draft messages on the server' checkbox. Now... when composing a message in Mail app it's momentarily saved on the server, whether it has attachments or not. Then when the message is complete I push the Send button and the message is being sent. The reasonable mail app would then delete the draft version of this message from the Drafts folder. But not Mail 4.2, regardless in which e-mail account the message is stored. It doesn't delete the draft, what's more then synchronizes it with my other computer and then I have to log to webmail to delete the unwanted draft messages manually. VERY annoying.
Please let me know if you have similar problems or maybe anyone has a solution?

It is my thought and contention that #1 is not a bug, but purposeful -- see:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11160423#11160423
With regard to #2, have you ever removed the Envelope Index without first removing any IMAP or Exchange account folders? If so, that can problematic. I cannot confirm any of the experiences you are having. I have 15 accounts, 7 of which are IMAP, and the latter include one Gmail and one MobileMe, and none of these issues are present. Have you tried creating a New User Account and setting your IMAP and Gmail up as that New User to further test the application itself?
The issue with Drafts being saved beyond their apparent usefulness is not new to Mail 4.2 -- happened with some frequency in all versions of Mail 3.x, and probably less frequently in 4.2. When it has happened, which is relatively infrequently for me, it has been seen in POP and IMAP alike.

Really Odd Crash

There's a really odd bug / crash that happens under these very specific circumstances. Unfortunately I can't upload an FLA here, so I've provided a download link from a 3rd party site. If you don't feel comfortable with that, I've listed the steps to recreate the error below.
(Note: Don't click the giant download buttons, click where it says "Save file to your PC: click here")
http://www.2shared.com/file/qJWkGney/PrivateVideoChat.html
http://www.2shared.com/file/M5tNwwRL/PrivateVideoChatExample.html
If you don't feel comfortable with that, here's a description on how to recreate the error:
1. Create a new AS3 FLA
2. Under AS3 Settings -> Library Path, import the flash only player 10 AFCSFlash.swc
3. Import rpc.swc from the FLEX sdk into the library path
4. Create a movie clip and put text object in it. Don't put it on the stage -- leave it in the library.
And then to make it work with the document class...
5. Add a Button component and name the instance connectButton
6. Add a TextInput component and name the instance connectSessionID
7. Add another TextInput component and name the instance myCSessionID
8. Create the document class and link it to the FLA
9. Add your developer credentials (where the constants are defined)
The document class is this:
package {
    import com.adobe.rtc.authentication.AdobeHSAuthenticator;
    import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioPublisher;
    import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioSubscriber;
    import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.WebcamPublisher;
    import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.WebcamSubscriber;
    import com.adobe.rtc.events.SessionEvent;

        protected var _cSession:ConnectSession = new ConnectSession();
        protected var _webcamPublisher:WebcamPublisher = new WebcamPublisher();

        protected var _audioPublisher:AudioPublisher = new AudioPublisher();
        protected var _audioSubscriber:AudioSubscriber;
        public var connectButton:Button;
        public var connectSessionID:TextInput;

        public function PrivateVideoChatExample() {
            var authenticator = new AdobeHSAuthenticator();
            authenticator.userName = this.USERNAME;
            authenticator.password = this.PASSWORD;
            this._cSession.roomURL = this.ROOM_URL;
            this._cSession.authenticator = authenticator;
            this._cSession.login();
            this._cSession.addEventListener(SessionEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, this.onLogin);
            this.connectButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.connectTo);
        protected function connectTo(event:MouseEvent) {
            if(this._cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(this.connectSessionID.text)) {
                this.createNewPrivateChat(this.connectSessionID.text);
        public function onLogin(event:SessionEvent):void {
            this.myCSessionID.text = this._cSession.userManager.myUserID;
            this._audioPublisher.publish();
            this._webcamPublisher.publish();
            this._localWebcamSubscriber.subscribe();
        public function createNewPrivateChat(userID:String) {
            this._audioSubscriber = new AudioSubscriber();
            trace("Hasn't crashed yet....!");
            this._audioSubscriber.subscribe();
            this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);
            trace("Aaaaannnndddd...boom.");
You'll notice if you do any of the following it'll work fine:
1. Replace the player 10 AFCSFlash.swc with the player 9 AFCSFlash.swc in the library path
2. Remove the rpc.swc from the library path
3. Remove the MovieClip with the text object in it
4. Comment out the line "this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);"
Edit: Oh yeah, and to use the application you copy your session ID (from the myCSessionID TextInput) and paste it into the the connectSessionID TextInput in another instance of the swf file (or into the same one -- you get the same results).
I was able to replicate this on another computer using the files above, so I don't think it's my environment that's causing the error.

All,
This looks like a bug with Flash player debug plugin.
Please download the Flash player latest version of debug
plugin 9.0.115
from the location
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
The link should show - 12/3/2007 - Update Linux Debugger
versions (aka
debug players or content debuggers)... Download the linux
debugger and
standalone players.
You dont need standalone player though it comes bundled
together. After
you untar the folder you will see /plugin/ directory which
contains
libflashplayer.so
copy this to your $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ directory... for
root users it
is /usr/lib/firefox* ...
Relaunch the browser and confirm if you are running Debug
version of FP

WHY do we get a %*# update every 2 weeks while the 1 really bad bug (fonts and sizes randomly changing when typing) persists????

Is there any way to STOP TB from sending updates every couple of weeks (and BTW this has slowed down/crashed TB increasingly in the past couple of months) UNTIL they fix this really irritating bug of randomly changing fonts and sizes when writing a mail? Outlook doesn't do this, Apple mail doesn't do this, so TB stop spamming and start addressing real problems for a change!!!!

It would be helpful perhaps to focus on "the real issue" of font size and compose, rather to digress into how vendors choose to deliver the product.
font issues arose in the past year. I forget exactly when. It is quite a bad problem. My recollection is it was a serializer change not done by Thunderbird developers, and that part of it was fixed in version 24. But I could be wrong.
Would you be willing to try version 31?

Column sum: odd bug

I find it really useful to have the sum of an entire column { eg. =SUM(B) } in the header cell of that column. Unlike in Excel, the formula =SUM(B) doesn't include the header cells themselves in the total, so it isn't a self-reference.
But in Numbers '09 there's an odd bug. Try this. Open a new document (select Blank from the Template Chooser). The first column and row are set as header column and row. Click on B1 (the header cell for column B) and insert the formula =SUM(B). This cell will now correctly display the total of all the cells from B2 onwards. Suppose this total is 12. Click again on B1, and the formula, instead of appearing as =SUM(B) now appears as =SUM('12').
Does everyone get this?
Martin S Taylor

It seems that something is odd in your system.
I am unable to reproduce the described behavior.
in F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F20,F21, F22, F23, F24, the formula is the same =SUM(F)
In A10 I entered =SUM(B10:$O10) and used fill to the right.
Then I used fill down.

Is this really a "bug" in dba_tab_columns?

Hi Guys, it's Xev.
I have been struggling with this for weeks now. No matter what I do, I cannot get my procedure to see dba_tab_columns inside of my procedure at run-time. It just blows up and says
"cannot see table or view", that generic answer.
Is there really a bug or limitation with how I am using this dba view? is there something else I can do? it simply will not recognize the other custom users also.
I have two basic lines of defense here, but both of them do not what I need them to do.
Can someone please help me on this.
Ok, this is the "first method" that I have tried to use, it works great, but "only" for one user at a time. I cannot get it to "search" all the rest of the "user schema's". It finds what I tell it to,
but only in the schema, tables and fields in the user that is executing it. I've tried to switch out (user_tab_columns) for dba_tab_columns, but it blows up and tells me that it "cannot see the table or view".
This is my preferred method. If you can alter this to make it find other other users in other schema's through-out the entire database, I would do anything for you!!!

NOW,
This is the second method, it also does a good job finding what i want it to, but still doesn't search the other users and other schema's. If you can alter this to make it find other users and other schema's I'll go crazy! LOL!
For test data simply create a table in your schema and put a "nine digit" number anywhere in the fields and both of these procedures will find them, but only for that "USER".
AND, that's my problem, I have to many custom user's to go on the instances and create procedures for each and every user. it's just not practical.
I really need you guys on this, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, if you can get this to find other users!!! GOOD LUCK!

Hi Solomon,
Ok, I understand the first 2 grants, but just to make sure this is what I think they are, I don't understand the third grant, so can you supply the actual grant statement.
Here are the first 2 grant statements. The users name is "directgrant1".
SQL> GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO DIRECTGRANT1;
SQL> GRANT SELECT ON SYS.DBA_TAB_COLS TO DIRECTGRANT1;
Can you please provide the third grant statement?
Now, this stored procedure code below, actually works, but it only finds the tables and fields within it's own schema. I have over 28 custom schema's to search for this nine digit number, so I need this stored procedure to search all of the schema's/Tables/Fields for a nine digit number in the entire database.
This stored procedure compiles and executes with no problem, but I need to use dba_tab_cols so it can find all the other users right? or is there a better way to do this Solomon?
As you can see, this stored procedure code uses "user_tab_cols" and only finds "one user tables/fields". If i use dba_tab_cols in it's place, then will it find all the other users in the entire database? That is correct right Solomon? Also, when i ran this procedure last night in my Test Database, it opened 3 cursors. Do we have to tell in in the code somewhere to close the sys_refcursor cursor? or does Oracle close it itself, since it's "implicit?"
Also, the tables that this will be "searching" actually have 40 Million plus records in them. Could this procedure cause the database to crash? Is 40 Million plus table records to much to use something like what we have below??

Bug in Mail 2.1.1

there is a bug in mail, watched the screenshot:
http://img217.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot159hu0.jpg

Do you have a .Mac account? Do you have .Mac synchronization of Mail data enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac? That would interfere with any attempt to get rid of potentially corrupt *.plist files...
BTW, you can make your life easier in these forums by going to System Preferences > International and moving English to the top of the list. The next time you launch Mail, it'll be all in English. You can then go back to the preferences panel and move your preferred language to the top again so that everything else is in that language.

A small but very irritating bug in Mail: after pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word such as "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.

When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
Any ideas?

I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
Other combinations FAIL
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
Thanks.

Bug report: Mail sends messages with empty bodies

Over the last year, I have experienced a particularly irritating bug in Mail.app at least a dozen times. I finally have a good idea as to what causes it.
The problem involves long email messages (often with attachments) that end up being sent with blank bodies (and no attachments). Even the copy in the "Sent" folder ends up blank, and several minutes or hours of work vanishes into thin air, not to be seen ever again.
I finally realized that this bug only occurs when sending mail through our work SMTP server while outside the work firewall, and only as a result of a certain sequence of events. Here is what happens:
When we connect to our work SMTP server from outside the local network and without going through the VPN, the SMTP server requires password authentication. If the current SMTP selection in Mail.app is the one that does not require authentication, the SMTP server rejects the message. At that point, Mail.app opens the email I am trying to send and brings up a modal dialog that says "Cannot send message using the server xxx.xxx -- The server response was: xxx@xxx relaying prohibited. You should authenticate first." The dialog also presents a drop-down list of SMTP server choices. I choose the password-authenticated version of the server and then click on "Use Selected Server" to send the message.
This works almost all the time, but on occasion it ends up sending a blank message! If I have a long email, particularly with attachments such as PDFs that are rendered in the body of the message, it takes a few seconds for the mail message to be rendered underneath the modal dialog box. Since I am used to this STMP rejection behavior, sometimes I am too fast to choose another STMP server from the list and click on "Use Selected Server" before the mail message is rendered on screen! The result, invariably, is a blank email message that gets sent.
I guess what is happening is that when the STMP server rejects the message and hands it back to Mail.app, the message gets copied into a buffer in order to be displayed on screen. Selecting another server and resending it immediately (before the message is copied into the buffer completely) causes the message body to get trashed.
I hope that this description is adequate for Apple QA folks to replicate and isolate the problem (and hopefully fix it). One solution (although not the most elegant one) would be to disable the "Use Selected Server" action until the message is copied into the buffer and rendered on screen.

This could be related to another bug reported here recently:
E-mail looses all images if mail server doesn't accept outgoing email...
You cannot count on Apple looking into this or even noticing it if you report it here, so I suggest you the same I suggested in the other thread, i.e. report it in one of the following places:

Really odd First Launch issues

Hello All,
I am having som really, really odd issues with my PowerMac G4...
Everytime I start-up from a cold boot (I turn it off during the night...) I return in the morning, and it can't see my network!
I usually just restart again, and everything is fine.... but last friday, I had to fight with it for close to an hour to get it back working.
No patches have been applied, no setting have been changed, it's on a APC UPS system.. it is just used as a workstation...(graphical work)
It is running 10.3.9... (and has been since it was available, this issue has been going on for about a month now)
Any clues to this slightly aggrivating problem?
I don't really want to get a new Desktop until a Commercial MacIntel machine is available.
Thanks!!!

Hi Gabriel!
Why turn it off? Leave it on all night since OS X runs maintenence on the computer during the night. This could be part of problem . I would also suggest booting up from the install disk and running disk utility from it and repairing permissions.
Also, is it possible your APC UPS system is getting turned off at night too? Perhaps the battery is going bad and just needs replacing?
Good Luck!

Is anyone experiencing a bug in mail app in iOS 7 ?

I'm experiencing a bug in mail app in iPhone as well as in my iPad... This bug makes all my mails unread whenever I refresh for mails and whenever I read a new mail it stays unread even if a close the app. Please help me if possible...

I've not heard of or experience any such issue.
Have you tried removing and readding the accounts in question?

Bug in Mail: Plain-Text | Rich-Text-Mails

Hi,
just found a bug in Mail (Mac OS X 10.6.2):
I am using a faxservice-provider, which sends my PDF-files to the transmitted fax-number.
This stopped working a few weeks ago, the recipients of my faxe just get blank pages.
I talked to the provider and they told me, that I was sending "Multi-Part-HTML"-mails, so their fax-software just sends the first part of the mail (some blank lines) and not the attached PDF-file.
So I checked a few thing and found the following bug:
Mail is set up to send mails only as "plain-text"-mails.
But if i send an email via the print-dialog ("send PDF per Mail") Mail creates a Rich-Text-mail. This also happens when using the "send PDF via Mail button" in Adobe Reader.
The created Mail is NOT a plain-text-mail!
Saving a PDF-file to the desktop and dragging the file to the Mail-Icon in the dock creates a "Plain-Text-File".
So you need to check the format of the Mail in the "Format-Menu". If you change the format at this place to "Plain-Text" everything is working fine.
Something in this Automator-workflow-script is working wrong. This workflow just has the order to create a new Mail with the PDF as attachment, so I can't change anything their. But the error must be founded in this script/workflow.

And it's only a Gmail issue, not in, for example, Google Docs.

Is Mail really "Learning" my junk mail?

I've read various forum threads about training Mail. I might not be doing it right, but I mark spam messages as Junk, and they go to the junk box. It seems I get repeats though, from the same sender, or same subject. Which tells me, it's not doing anything, or, i don't have it set up right. I get a ton of spam though, and it drives me nuts. I switched to Thunderbird on a PC for a couple months, and surprisingly, didn't get but one a day. I finally received my new Macintosh, and really want to use Mail, but all of these spams just drive me crazy.
Here's what I've done so far:
- We use Postini on our server. All levels are set as high as can go.
- I started creating "rules" for every single spam that came in, but I couldn't keep up. I must have 50 of them created, and I still get 30-50 spams a day.
- Now, I mark them all as "Junk" but it still doesn't deter any of these spams. Fortunately, some of the spam emails do go directly into Junk mail, but not as many as I wish did.
I see there are paid add-ons you can use for Mail. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a way using Mail, to at least cut down on all of these spams. If Thunderbird can do it for free, I'd bet there's a way to do it in Mac Mail.. I'm probably just not doing something right. Any ideas would help. Thanks!

Hi grannysmith.nc,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing with regard to junk mail in Mail under Yosemite. I'm unclear if it is not marking junk mail at all, or if it is marking it but simply not moving it to the Junk mail folder. If it is the latter (not moving), it may be as simple as changing the settings as outlined in the following article under Change the junk mail filter:
Mail (Yosemite): Reduce junk mail in your inbox
If Mail isn't recognizing junk mail at all, you might find these articles more useful:
Mail (Yosemite): If junk mail filters aren’t working correctly
Mail (Yosemite): Junk Mail Advanced settings

Really Weird Bug?

I have this really weird bug on my mac. I don't think the manual says anything about this so I have come here. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, music starts playing. I have never heard this music before (besides during this bug) and there is no way to turn it off besides restarting the computer. Restarting the computer is a temporary fix, but the music comes back after awhile. No applications have to be open in order for the music to start playing. I have even quit all applications (including finder) in order to try to stop the music but none of it works. (And BTW it can start without itunes opening up. I never opened itunes and it all of a sudden started so it is not an itunes problem) I have absolutely no idea how to fix the bug, so somebody help?????

Hahaha it was a really big DUH for me, so Duh thats its embarrassing...sorry guys lol

When I open fire fox my yahoo page come up very odd, as does mail if I sign in. Can't figure out how to correct this. Home page and mail open fine in others.

When I open Firefox my yahoo home page comes up very odd and not usable. If I log into my e-mail it also comes up odd and not usable. (the tools across the top like delete etc don't show up.) If I go to a different browser and pull up yahoo it is fine, if I log on to my mail there it also comes up fine and usable. Please help am new to Firefox and just barley getting to where I can us it really don't want to have to change to yet another browser. Losing all my stuff again. (Microsoft browser program stopped working) Please help, real desperate here. Thank you. Followed the instruction on how to take a screen shot, did so, but don't know how to attach it here. Didn't see instructions regarding that and beyond my limited abilities. Have it if someone needs it and can tell me how to attach or send.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
