Attachments and Emails - Very strange
Hi There
More often then not, when I attach something to an email, the recipient is just receiving the attachment and not the supporting text written in mail. It looks rude to the recipient who just gets the attachment! Why is this happening?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Please help!

I have no problems sending to everyone with Plain Text -- I have seen no reason to choose RTF for those with attachments. It has worked for everyone I have provided that advice to.
There is some slight disagreement between etresoft and me in this regard, but not a big deal.
I sent attachments using plain text and never have any problems. Come to think of it, I don't know if I've ever had trouble sending attachments.
However, I have concocted scenarios that caused old versions if Outlook to choke. But I had to manually construct such a message just for that purpose.
I used to be very much into e-mail attachments, but not anymore. It's no fun when you are the only one worried about standards. Even Apple gave up. E-mail is not a technology of the future. It has already peaked and is now in its way down.

My older mac book pro and iMac are both running 10.6.8 and both have started running safari and email VERY slowly. My new mac book pro running 10.9 is having no issues. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
No noticeable speed differences running the four latest OSs on my machine.

please help me!1) What is the complete error stack? The error should come with a line number, what is on that line?
2) I'm assuming that you don't have identical procedures in the same database, right? Does that imply that you have a procedure that works on one database and not on another?
3) Is the ORALOAD directory created on both systems? Do both procedure owners have access to that directory object? Does the Oracle user on the operating system have access to the specified directory on both systems? Does v_report exist on both file systems?

App to record name numbers and email very fast.
Hi everybody,
I will be recording a lot of names numbers and email, and i want to know if there is an app that could help me do that very fast, and export it to excel, csv or vcf file. The contact app seems too slow for what i want to do. Thank you in advance .Hi, thanks for replying. What I mean is an app that allow me to create forms, simple forms that may show like field 1, 2 ,3... then all you have to do is just input and when you get to the end of the row, will start a new row automatically.

Getting attachments and emails need serious help!!
I am not sure if I am doing this right, but I am trying to receive emails from gmail, and I am having some serious problems. For some reason I get four emails and then I get a null exception. I have been through my code a dozen times and I cannot find the problem. Here is my code: try{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
props.setProperty("mail.pop3.port", "995");
props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.port", "995");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect("pop.gmail.com", "jwheat3300", "carrie11");
Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
int n=folder.getMessageCount();
attach = new String[n];
String select = "false";
String body = "";
for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
Message message = folder.getMessage(i);
date2 = "3/2/2006";
from = message.getFrom()[0];
subject = message.getSubject();
attach="false";
Multipart multipart = (Multipart)message.getContent();
int j = multipart.getCount();
for(int l=0; l<j; l++)
Part part = multipart.getBodyPart(l);
disposition = part.getDisposition();
System.out.println(disposition);
if((disposition !=null) && ((disposition.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.ATTACHMENT) || disposition.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.INLINE))))
MimeBodyPart mbp = (MimeBodyPart)part;
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/plain"))
body = (String)mbp.getContent();
if(body==null)
body="";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/html"))
body = "This is an html email. Unable to display HELP";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
if(mbp.isMimeType("application/x-shockwave-flash"))
attach[i] = "true";
System.out.println(part.getContentType());
if(disposition == null)
MimeBodyPart mbp = (MimeBodyPart)part;
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/plain"))
body = (String)mbp.getContent();
if(body==null)
body="";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
attach[i] = "false";
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/html"))
body = "This is an html email. Unable to display HELP";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
attach[i] = "false";
inmails.add(new Inmail(select, from, subject, date2, attach[i]));
table.revalidate();
folder.close(false);
store.close();
}catch(Exception t)
System.err.println("Exception900: " +t.getMessage());
I get the body fine, and what I am trying to do is when I get all of my information is to put this into the inmails vector and then update my table. That works but I am only gettting four of thirty emails. Also when it comes to attachments do I need to set up a mime type for every possible attachment that will come? I need some serious help!I guess I am seriously confused then....I tried doing the tutorial from jguru on sun's site and this was how the code was set up. At least I think it is....I pretty much have no idea what I am doing. I mean the code as it stands will get the emails, and by the way this is for an application not for a server or anything. So should I check for it to be just plain text first and then find out if there is a multipart. There is not really any good tutorials that explain what it is I am trying to accomplish. Please help!

Can attachments be included in the email noticifactions or are they only acessible by way of viewing the response window?
You can only access them online in the response table.

I am using a MacBook Pro. I simply cannot find a way to attach images adjusted in Lightroom as attachments and/or without massive degradation in quality. I follow the LR attach email process as specified by LR, the photos appear in the email seemingly embedded and the recipients of the email cannot save the attachment.
You are welcome. Just finished a chat session with an Apple support rep and confirmed the matte option no longer available. Seems lots has changed since I bought my 17” 19 months back:). They did say that there were after market screen films available from places like amazon
Have never used anything like that though. My wife has a 2008 MBP 15” with gloss and I can say it is a nice screen finish, you just have to be careful of lighting from behind you. All my iMacs were glossy and I did learn to compensate for the added brilliance the screen brought to the photos. The new soft proofing feature of LR5 seems to better estimate the level of brightness of the printed work, compared to past versions of the s/ware.
In any case, in my opinion you really can’t go wrong with the apple product. I bought my first iMac in mid 1999 and have never looked back. I donated that machine to a pre-school in 2008, it was running OSX version 2 or 3 I think. I did run Photoshop 7.0 on an IBM laptop for a time (windows XP). I think I had one of the very first versions of Adobe Camera Raw on that machine. I digress, sorry.
The chat representative did confirm that the 17” is out of production and I’m guessing Apple found the market for the big laptop just wasn’t there. They did mention that 17” MBP’s show up as “certified refurbished” units from time to time. Suggest you might explore that option with a local Apple store in the UK, assuming Apple has store front operations off this continent of course.
Please feel free to contact me with further questions if you wish.
Take care, Gordy -

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
My phone is saying all my storage for pictures is taken up when I only have 154 picture.. It happened when I got my screen fixed at a kiosk in a mall and I had 2,000 pictures when I gave it to him and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange it's as if my phone still has the pictures on there.. But I can't see them. Anybody know what I should do :( I keep having to delete apps because I have no more storage for no reason :(((
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Trying to do something very strange with layouts and painting components
I'm trying to do something very strange with changing the layout of a container, then painting it to a bufferedImage and changing it back again so nothing has changed. However, I am unable to get the image i want of this container in a new layout. Consider it a preview function of the different layouts. Anyway. I've tried everything i know about swing and have come up empty. There is probably a better way to do what i am trying to do, i just don't know how.
If someone could have a look perhaps and help me out i would be much appreciative.
Here is a self contained small demo of my conundrum.

frame.getContentPane().add(thingy, BorderLayout.CENTER);

}Looks like you didn't read the API for Container#doLayout().
Causes this container to lay out its components. Most programs should not call this method directly, but should invoke the validate method instead.
There's also a concurrency issue here in that the panel's components may be painted to the image before revalidation completes. And your GUI, like any Swing GUI, should be constructed and shown on the EDT.

I'm using Apple Mail 2.1.3 on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. A very strange thing is happening. E-mail messages that I either sent or received months ago are showing up in my mailbox and receivers' mailboxes. In one case, a message someone had sent to me wound up in the mailbox of a third person, who was not included in the address list!! I have only two accounts, and have checked everything; only one account is showing the repeats Now, that account is my professional account, and it resides in three places: I use it on the laptop described here, I use it through Apple Mail on the much newer desktop Mac in my office, and I can run it through Web mail on my employer's server, which is where the professional account resides (I have a mailbox there, etc.) That program is called Zimbra.
My personal account is with Earthlink and is not doing the repeats. I access it either through my MacBook's Apple Mail or the Web; the Apple Mail on my office Mac is not configured to access the Earthlink server.
What IS going on here?? My friends, colleagues, and students (I teach college) are mystified by these ancient messages.
