10.5.7 mail message display weirdness

After upgrading to 10.5.7, incoming mail is displayed as Monaco 10. I re-checked all my preferences and my message font is set to Verdana 12, as before the update.
When I compose a message to myself, it displays using Verdana 12. I send it off and the received message shows as Monaco 10.
Incoming email from others also displays as Monoco 10, even if they formatted the text.
More oddly, if I reformat the outgoing message to myself as say, Verdana 18, the incoming message will be formatted as sent.
Could this be a font problem? If so, any way to restore fonts from my time-machine backups?
Any other suggested and ideas welcomed.

Great. I was not familiar with that part of Console. So this is how the latest crash is reported in Console. What does it mean in practical terms? What should I do next?

Mail message displaying "blocked plug-in"

I used to copy youtube videso and send them to friends via mail... Never had a problem doing so with OSX 10.6.8
NOW alla of a sudden that is not possible and I get a "blocked plug-in" in the body of the message instead of the youtube video...
How do I get to set whatever plug-in I want blocekd or not IN MAIL?

I had the same issue. If you have a blocked plugin, you will have a disabled plugin folder somewhere. It may not be a Safari plugin, but rather Mail.app.
Look in the following foolders:
/Library/Mail/
/User/<your user name>/Library/Mail
Mountain Lion (ML) appends the folder names with "(Disabled)" - something like "Bundles (Disabled)"
Remember the Library folders are hidden by default. To see it, click Finder -> Go To, hold the Option key and you'll see the "Library" entry. Click it to go there.
Move any plugins you find there to a location you will remember making not of where they go. Restart and open Mail. If it works you can move some plug-ins back one at a time to figure out which was the culprit.

Batch save Mail messages as PDF's

I am in need of saving all of my email messages in my inbox as individual PDF documents. I know you can do it one at a time via "Print>save as PDF" but we are talking about a few hundred email messages here.
Is there anyway to take advantage of something like automator or could someone show me some software to batch save all of these messages?
Thanks so much for the help.

Thanks -- this may be what I go with. However, when I tried this the rtf file did contain all of the messages, but did not show the header information on each (To:, From:, Date: ...), so I continued my search for a solution. I think I found something that works. My project is actually larger than what I described. Interested people may be able to use some or all of the following.
The project started when I asked a friend to send me all of the emails that I have sent him over the last 15 years. He had archived them all in Windows / Outlook Express. I had not archived them. He was able to give me a .DBX file containing them all. I used a free program called DbxConv in Windows to convert the .DBX file to a .MBX file.
In Apple Mail I did File/Import_Mailboxes/File_In_mbox_Format to import them. Then, View/Organize_by_Conversation (checked on). Select all messages and File/Print/PDF/Save_As_PDF into a new folder on the desktop. This will generate many pdfs.
Now the new part:
Next, drag all of the PDFs into Preview. Finally, in Preview, File/Print/PDF/Save_As_PDF. This will create a single pdf file with all messages, including imbedded attachments, with info displayed in your current Apple Mail format -- dependent on how you like your Apple Mail messages displayed (minimal header, expanded header, etc.) . . . . . I think!
At least it worked for me, once. I try it again and see what develops.

Disable viewing next mail message(s) on iPad?!?

Why has this not been fixed yet?? I know there are other "mail apps" out there, but I'd love to be able to just open up my Apple Mail app on my iPad and not be forced to see a mail message displayed if there is one in my inbox.
Why can't we deselect a message in the sidebar and have the large portion of the screen on the right say, "No message selected" or it can just be a blank page for all I care - just like you have an "empty" inbox.
It's a little absurd how aggravated I get about this, but I think it is incredibly foolish to not have this option from Apple. I **HATE** to use the Mail app from Apple. Anybody else feel the same way?

Let apple know how you feel

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.

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.

In Mail 3.6 remote images in HTML messages display as blue squares with ? even though checked in viewing references.

In Mail 3.6 remote images in HTML messages display as blue squares with ? even though checked in viewing references.

Nurit,
The point is that that button should not be there, if the preference setting is as you say. This indicates the preference setting is stuck, and that is what I was trying to help you resolve.
The full purge is done as follows:
Quit Mail, and in the Finder open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder. Control-click over the Mail folder, and choose Duplicate -- then drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next, open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and drag it to the desktop.
Relaunch Mail, which will open as though new, and when prompted to import anything DECLINE. Instead, re-enter your account info, and Mail will re-discover the account folders for your accounts, and all should be well, after setting preferences as you desire.
Ask any needed questions, and keep us posted.

HT5361 Is it possible to embed raw latex into a mail message to display an equation?

Hi,
Is it possible to embed raw latex (or any other meta data format like HTML) into a mail message? I would really like to be able to send equations directly without converting them to PDF or GIF first.
Thanks,
Joe

I just borrowed a quadratic equation from the MathML Wikipedia site and grafted it into an HTML document. It imaged fine in Safari 7. It should be noted that neither the latest Google Chrome or FIrefox rendered the same content accurately.
Laying out your entire email message (including MathML) in HTML can be tedious. Once it is displayed in the browser, each use of the command+I will put the browser content in a new Mail compose window. So, you cannot add an equation to existing Mail composition. Select, copy and paste (or paste and match style) will not work either.
Depending on the importance you place on email equations, at one time, Design Science (MathType) claimed compatibility with Apple Mail (4.5) where you could input your equation in MathType and it could then be placed within the email. The mail recipient would not need a copy of MathType installed for this to work. MathType even allows you to key your equation in with LaTeX syntax to generate the equation.
You could check with them about functionality (or restrictions) with Mail 6 and 7 on OS X, as it might provide a more productive way to achieve your goals.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

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.

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.

Mail message viewer displays wrong message

Here's a strange one, started a couple of days ago: for most new messages, when I select the message in the upper pane, the message displayed in the viewing pane is not the one I selected.
For example: a new message comes in from Joe, I click on it, but what I see is the text of a message from Dave that's three years old (and of course still sitting in my inbox---I can go find it and look at that one too, and it still displays normally). The messages I'm seeing in error are old messages in my Inbox, coming up in order, starting around message 500 (there are almost 2000 messages in my inbox). I can't read the content of the new message using Mail.
My Mail is set up to leave everything on the server (it's an IMAP account), which is lucky since I can then access the mail by other means. For example, the Mail program on my laptop still functions normally, so I've been reading mail that way. In fact my two computers are both running OS 10.6.4, with identical Inboxes. Could there be some difference between how my relatively new iMac and my 1.5-yr old MacBookPro handle mailboxes?
Other ideas?

this solved the problem for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12184634&#12184634
in short: in Mail select the broken mailbox, then go to the menuitem Mailbox -> Rebuild
Hope this helps.

TS3276 mail messages often fail to display pictures and graphics?

i have a problem with some mail messages in that they do not display picture and graphics. i have Flip4Mac installed and have a late model Macbook Air 13 inch running Mavericks

Assuming that your operating systems are as steated in your signatures, you both may find it helpful to remove the account from Mail Preferences/Accounts and then set it up again following the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Mail messages sometimes displaying twice

Lately, Mail sometimes displays new messages that have just arrived twice. There don't seem to be 2 actual copies of the message in the inbox, just the same messages displayed twice. It's kind of an odd behavior, really. If a message is clicked on and viewed in the preview window, the duplicate displayed doesn't change from unread to read. However, if a message is deleted both lines displaying the message go away and only one appears in the trash.
This doesn't happen all of the time, just sometimes. Shutting down mail and reopening it gets rid of the duplicated message displays, but then some other time checking mail it will happen again.
Anybody have any ideas on how to make this go away permanently? Thanks in advance.
iMac G3 450 & eMac 700 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You’re welcome.
I don’t know what’s going on here. It looks as if the the account had been set up twice in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, even though you say it appears there only once...
Try re-creating the file where the account settings are stored:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem).
4. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
5. You’ll have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
6. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail Composed, and incoming messages displayed Font too small.

Most emails I receive and my outgoing composed messages use a font size around 12 point. People who receive my emails see a normal size, but while I am composing or reading incoming messages the font displayed is too small and difficult to read.
When I use other applications where I also use or view a 12 point font, and have the viewing magnification set to 100%, the displayed font is just fine. I think this is due to my screen resolution which is set to 1280x800 on my 13" MacBook.
When I change my screen resolution to 1024x768, the mail displayed 12 point font becomes readable, and in other applications the 12 point font at 100% magnification is the same as when I was using the 1280x800 screen resolution.
I have tried entering Command-Plus to magnify the displayed mail message, it actually increases the font size in the message rather than magnifying the message and keeping the font the same.
Is there another way I can magnify just the displayed message without magnifying the whole desktop/screen?
Thanks in Advance.
Jeff Cameron

Yes, setting the monitor to the default resolution, it does look fine. But for applications like Word, Pages, Preview and many other when you set the display zoom magnification to 100.00 regardless of the screen resolution the text seems normal, but in Mail, there is no screen zoom magnification, and so the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the text in composed and received messages is.

Mail occasionally displays zero messages

Mail occasionally displays 0 messages. This happens intermittently and I'm not able to associate it with any particular behavior.
When this occurs mail will displays no messages in the message viewer window, for any mailbox, even though each mailbox has many messages, and it shows an explicit message in the header bar area that there are zero messages in particular mailboxes that are not empty. This can happen when there is new mail, mail indicates that there is new mail but it doesn't display messages in the pane.
When this happens mail will not respond to quit, but activity monitor doesn't show mail as unresponsive. After a forced quit mail seems to function normally, but this is worrying.
Is this a known problem?
thanks,
J

Hi John, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I presume this is an IMAP account?
Anyway, try these..
Quit Mail.
In your Home folder. open Library folder, open Mail folder in that, look for the Envelope Index, and drag it to the Desktop.
Then in your Home folder. open Library folder, open Caches folder in that, look for the Mail, and drag it to the Desktop.Move Envelope Index to the Desktop in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Move this folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
