Adding hyperlinks to mail messages

I want to send a text trigger hyperlink message in mail to advertise my .Mac podcast. Manytimes the link that I send will not go to the proper address, AKA the .Mac can't find the page screen. The address is:
http://web.mac.com/robcork/iWeb/Rob%20Cork%27s%20Music/Podcast/Podcast.html
This is a paste directly from Safari. I would like to use a trigger word like, Rob's podcast that will open the users browser and take them to the page. All attempts using the obvious "add hyperlink" have as of yet failed. Advice?
20" iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 GB RAM. 160 & 250 GB LaCie fire wire external HDs. 20G iPod

Well I don't want to send in plain text - and it seems like it should be configurable somewhere. Undocumented plist tweak?
I am using Mail Attachment Iconizer, and MailTags - but neither of these plugins have any influence on this behaviour.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you don't see this behaviour. If you just type in a full URL, then start a new line, then after a few seconds mail will automatically build a link into the URL text.

How to change the color of hyperlinks in Mail messages?

I want to change the text color of hyperlinks in the message itself, not in a signature. Mine are all pale blue.
I'm using Yosemite on a Mac Mini.

Hyperlink in mail message gets changed

I'm having trouble mailing webpage addresses. If I copy and paste an address into an email the entire thing does not get underlined so when recipients click on it they don't get the entire address. If I use mail/edit/add hyperlink and paste the address into the hyperlink address box, it gets changed; after the % extra characters are getting pasted in.
anyone else having this problem or know what to do about it?
thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

They get added because when replying, or forwarding
an e-mail you get quotes added as well as spaces.
And e-mail programs don't deal with long strings of
text very well.
thanks for the help! I'm a regular subscriber to tinyurl now! My next problem is figuring out how to get my movies viewed by folks.

Adding hyperlink in Mail 3.1

Trying to forward a message with a hyperlink to a web page and it will not work. I Edit>Add Link>OK but the underlined link will not access the web page.

Are you trying to immediately click on the link? What you need to do is save it as a draft first.
Alternatively, if you are working with a plain text email, and the hyperlink is a fully qualified URL (http://www.domain.com/), the recipient's email client will allow them to click on it.

The user or users have been added successfully, but there was an error in sending the e-mail message. The server may not be set up correctly to send e-mail. To verify that e-mail is configured correctly, contact your server administrator

Anyone has any clue about this error?

Hi.
This I have seen before...
It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:
http://blog.sharepointrx.com/2010/11/18/setting-up-the-iis-smtp-server-for-sending-email-from-sharepoint-2010-on-server-2008-r2/
Check that and try again.

Embedding a hyperlink in a New Mac Mail message

I know about Edit -> Add Hyperlink. But I'm astonished that dragging a favicon from a browser into the text area of a new message just drags the "dead" text --- furthermore, under certain circumstances, if you select the dead text, then Edit Hyperlink, an old, stale, inappropriate URL may be still be in the Edit Hyperlink box.
This is a recipe for creating misleading/phishing links.
Am I missing something? Is there an easier way to get a live URL into a Mac Mail message?
Thanks .. cb

Gentoo, that does the trick nicely! A simple double click of the folder name does indeed bring up the text box for editing.
A big thank you for pointing that out, and i am sure there will be others wondering the same thing, so hopefully they will see your answer.
Sorry for delay in answering, i had not subscribed to the thread thinking that there was no way of doing it, so another thanks for sending me the pm letting me know you had answered.
Cheers,
Steve.

Accessing URL of links in HTML e-mail message via Services

I'm trying to write a simple service (in Automator) so that when I right-click on a URL, I can send that URL directly to my Instapaper account (rather than opening the link in a browser, and then clicking my bookmarklet to save to Instapaper.) I have it working for bare URLs included in the text, but I'd like to also be able to do it for hyperlinks in HTML-formatted Mail messages. Is there a way in Automator to access the underlying URL for a link, rather than the displayed link text? Clearly some of the built-in items in Mail's context menu (e.g. Open Link, Copy Link) do that, but I can't see how to get access to the URL in Automator.
Thanks in advance for your help with this,
Eric

Hi Scott,
"Unapealing" it is, but that doesn't get it very high on the long requirements list.
To make it more appealing to reward points is higher up there and I think everyone would love to see that.
Nevertheless I added it to the list.
Best, Mark.
P.S. On one hand I don't care about points, on the other I get teased in the office when I am not in the top ten, although with all this great contributions from you guys and girls, I am letting go of that goal. So don't bother.

Missing information in e-mail messages

Sometimes I receive an e-mail message that only contains the header information and does not have anything in the main message window. I am on OS 10.5.7 but if I check messages using 10.4.11 on another Mac the whole message is there.
Cannot find a common denominator regarding the type of messages affected. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your response. My problem isn't with adding a hyperlink within the body of the e-mail. I am wondering how to change the name of the hyperlink once it is embedded.
Instead of having:
http://discussions.apple.com/post!default.jspa?forumID=75
Is it possible to rename it so the the mail recipient sees:
Apple Discussion Forum
Maybe my problem lies in the fact that I use Fire Fox as my browser and not Safari?

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.

Hyperlinks from mail slow to open

Whenever a hyperlink in mail is selected mail goes into a 'Not responding' mode for 45 to 50 seconds before opening. Mail will then continue to work normally until another hyperlink is selected.

I'm not sure how to tell what the size of my largest Mailbox is, but it has about 130 messages.
Unless some cron script or other utility rebuilds mailboxes, never. I just rebuilt them and will keep you up to date.

Adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account

Can someone please tell me how to add another e-mail address to my Mail account. I have tried using info from the Mail Help file, both "adding another account" and "adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account". Each time when I try to send a test message to or from the added e-mail address, I get the same message: "Cannot send message using the server mail.bellsouth.net. Use the Pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server". The only pop-up is smtp .Mac.
I have tried both methods shown in the HELP file and get the same message. I would really appreciate your help.

Are you trying to add a second email account to Mail, or just add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account?
If the former, we need to know some more detail, like:
(1) who is the existing account, .mac or bellsouth?
(2) Which are you trying to add, .mac or bellsouth?
(3) I assume your ISP is Bell South?
(4) What are the names of the smtp servers and what are their respective smtp server port numbers?
(5) Are either of them using SSL on the smtp server?
(6) I don't remember whether Tiger Mail has it or not, but in Leopard Mail, on the menu bar under "Window" there is a selection "Connection Doctor." If applicable to Tiger Mail, what does it say about your connections?
(7) Which account can you send mail through and which one can't you send mail through?
(8) Are your receiving mail okay through either or both accounts? Which one(s)?
Now if you are trying to add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > mail account > Email Address, just add a second email address separated by a comma like so:
[email protected], [email protected]
You could have an issue with bellsouth or .mac requiring the domain name in the apparently from email address to match the domain name of the smtp mail server.

The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
All outgoing emails were working fine.
I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
EDIT
I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

Adding contacts via Mail app not working

New feature for iOS 8 will capture information from a mail message and allow you to add a contact.
It works most of the time, but I have had several mail messages with contact information (phone number, different Email, address) that will not allow me to add them to the contacts with this new feature. I tested it with a user and had her send me a message formatted the same way as another message that worked and it still would not allow me to add her via the new feature. Is the phone looking for certain information in a particular format in order for it to be added?
This is being done on an iPhone 5S
Thank you.

Awesome customer service, Apple!

TS3899 Hyperlinks in Mail won't redirect

Selecting a link in Mail message doesn't work. Safari frequently crashes and websites only load partially unless refreshed a few times. These symptoms started before the latest problem with hyperlinks not working in Mail. I reviewed discussions via google search but didn't locate any fixes. Any suggestions?

See if this fixes it for you.
