Apple Mail Message headers are too long

I just recently noticed that all the headers of my messages are really long, i can't see my messages until I scroll down. I tried to adjust the headers in my preferences and they still don't look normal. How can I fix this problem?????
Please help.
Thanks.
Ken

Please, clarify. What does “the headers are really long” mean? Is it that they show a lot of information or that they take up too much space on the screen with lots of unused blank space in between?
If the latter (which is not what you appear to be saying), then this is a font issue caused by having disabled or removed a font that Mail needs to work properly (e.g. Helvetica):

Did anyone came across such issue while deploying Orchard on Azure with TF service? If yes, how did you sort this freaking error?
Thanks,

Hi AltafB,
For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

Besides, since you deploy Orchard to Azure, you can also publish it directly using publish profile in Visual Stduio or WebMatrix directly.

I use my Ipad to record clients and I need to send these recordings to my customers. I am having trouble sending them because it always says that they are too long in length. They run any where from 5 minutes to maybe 15. Can I compress these

I use my Ipad to film my clients and need to send copies to my clients. I am having trouble sending them. When I press share, it only gives me options of sending them as a Message airdrop or Icloud. When I press Icloud nothing happens. The videos are usually 5minutes to maybe 20 minutes. I need to send them insome kind of a compressed manner so it iseasy for my clients to open and watch. Thanks

Have you thought about uploading them to youtube? You can put things there up to 8 minutes long, and up to 15 if you get verified. You can also have them 'unlisted' which means they're not visible to anyone without the link.
I think your issue isn't as much that the videos are too long, it's that the file size is too big. I have a 3 minute video that I shot with my iPod that's 300 megs, and most mail programs max out at 25 megs.
There may also be options with vimeo or other video sharing programs that you can explore.

Why can't I print just a selection of an Apple Mail message?

I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 (with the latest updates). My preferred browser is Firefox 15.0.1. I have always been able to print just a selection of a document, and I can do so in Microsoft Word, Google Mail, everything, it seems except Apple Mail. I have a little HP inkjet printer and a new Brother laser printer (HL-5470DW). I've searched their Help menus and manuals, as well as the Help menu for Mac and have found nothing about printing selections of Apple Mail messages. Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to copy the selection into a different document, like one in Microsoft Word for Mac? Or Google Mail? I prefer not to do that last option. The formatting choices are not the greatest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks BDAqua. It seems so silly that it's so easy in other contexts, but it's good not to keep on trying something futile

SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

E-mail messages sent, are received not in the paragraph-form as sent, but

Dear Friends,
E-mail messages sent, are received not in the paragraph-form as sent, but are broken-up into small segments, one line finely printed, the next line may appear with just two or three words printed on it, then the next line will show a few words at the end of it, while the next line appears as the start of another paragraph, and so on and on and on. So that the original message, although sent in the one paragraph-form, winds up being received as several paragraphs, each broken up into several segments. My contacting Apple has produced no solution thus far. I am new at this computer business and would greatly appreciate any help you can give me on this score. Thanking you in advance for your interest and kind help.
Yours Truly,
GMS.

Can't copy files to AirDisk. Says filenames are too long

I plugged a USB drive into my Time Capsule, that I previously had plugged into my Mac via the USB port. Now that I've mounted it as an AirDisk every time I try to copy files to it I get an error message stating:
'You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long for the desitnation...'
None of the files I've tried to copy over have long filenames. In fact just to test it I created a text file & saved it with only 2 letters as the filename, & still get the same problem trying to copy to the AirDisk.
Can anyone help?

Yes, it's formatted as HFS+.
Just to make sure, I've unplugged it from the Time Capsule & plugged it into the USB port of my Mac again & it works fine like this. But now I've plugged it back into the Time Capsule it's now working fine. Strange.
Thanks for the suggestion

Powershell Get-childItem: The specified path, file name, or both are too long.

Hey Scriping Guys!
I've been using a PowerShell script for a couple of years now to generate a monthly report showing the size of user folders on a number of departmental file servers. It's working just fine on all file servers except one where the users have gotten carried away with creating sub-folders and using realy long descriptive file names. The problem piece of script is this:
$colItems = (Get-ChildItem \\192.168.10.5\marketing -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum)
"marketing-serv\marketing: "+"{0:N2}" -f ($colItems.sum / 1GB) + " GB"
The reply I get is:
Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully
qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name mu
st be less than 248 characters.
At G:\data\Server_space_Report\serverspace2.ps1:37 char:27
+ $colItems = (Get-ChildItem <<<< \\192.168.10.5\marketing -recurse | Measure-Obje
ct -property length -sum)
Yes, the message is correct, however, when I connect to the server, right click the folder and chose properties it returns a size of 128 GB. My questions are
1. Why does clicking on folder properties not produce an error (what is it doing differently from my script)?
2. How can I fix my script?
Thanks,

I am trying to clear up the older open posts on this forum. If this is still an unresolved issue for you please let me know. If you do not post back within one week I will assume it is resolved and will close this thread.
Thank you

Why I cannot assess deleted Apple mail messages in time machine after installing mountain lion from snow leopard.

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot retrieve my deleted Apple mail messages from Time Machine. I could do it in the past using Snow Leopard. The effective date for the the non-retrival of deleted messages is the date I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Any thoughts?

Keith Montreal wrote:
It was origionally a local folder for things like receipts from the Apple Store, etc
I'm still not sure what you mean . . . is it listed in the "On My Mac" section in Mail's sidebar, like these?
Mountain Lion appears to have given it an icon very much like an Archive box and put the "on My Mac" folder within that "Box" on both the back ups and the new Mail program - in fact it did it 6 times, which was the origional problem.
Can you post a screenshot?
I could restore inbox messages although they came in as a new mail box called Time Machine rather than into their origional mailboxes (there are 7 different addresses)
Yes, that's how Time Machine restores Mail messages, so it doesn't erase the current contents of an existing mailbox. You can then move them into the desired location.

Cannot SAVE Apple Mail Messages

Until recently I was able to SAVE Apple Mail messages as rtf files. I can no longer do this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
Mary

Hi Mary,
That just started happening to me as well. I came to the forums to see if there was an answer. For the time being a temporary solution is to drag the mail from a mailbox to the desktop where it copies it to an .eml file which includes all attachments etc.
I'm on a Mac Pro 10.5.6 and use Mobile Me to sync an iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro. I'm mentioning that because I wonder if this might be some snafu with Mobile Me?
