Automatic font size/type change after sending - why and how do I fix it?

This only seems to happen when I copy text from a web page and paste it into a compsosing email within Mail but it does not display on screen as anything different until the email is sent.
Here is an excerted screenshot from an email that was sent. When I composed it there appeared to be normality but after sending it changed.
A little more background on when this seems to happen. My french is not good. I use dictionary.com to translate text then copy and paste it to the email. I am not sure if this is the only circumstance of when this debacle happens but it seems to be constant when I follow the previous steps. Note: If I am not troubleshooting when it happens and I highlight all text (even though it looks normal) before sending then manually change the font size or font type and revert back to the size type then it does not always happen but still will periodically.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Is it a known bug or virus?

This is not a virus.
It's important to keep in mind that Mail sends HTML e-mail, when the text needs to be "styled" in any way, rather than just plain text, and not all mail clients will display that in the same way (or even at all). Also, Mail doesn't really have much in the way of editing capabilities for HTML e-mail.
Fortunately, from what you describe, there's a solution... if text you are copying from somewhere and pasting into Mail has strange formatting, try command-option-shift-v, or Edit -> Paste and Match Style, to paste the text. This discards all the style information attached to the copied text, and pastes just the text itself, making the text match the style of whatever you're pasting it into.

  • In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each cropin

    In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping? Thx

    Select the Crop Tool and check the box [  ] Delete Cropped Pixels and you should see a reduction in file size.  With the box unchecked, the data is still maintained in the document, you just can't see it.

    Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
    First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
    Quit iTunes.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
    Mac OS X
    /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
    \Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
    Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
    Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
    Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
    Rename this file to iTunes Library.
    Open iTunes.
    You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
    via: No content shows up in iTunes after updating

    If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:

    Have a good one,

  • I just upgraded my ipad OS and now my ipad is not picking up the 3G network.  Why and how do I fix this?  When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go.  What gives???

    Why and how do I fix this?  When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go.  What gives???
      It was working fine up until I upgraded the OS which I hadn't done in many versions so the ipad was not working as well as it should.  Now it is searching for the network.

        Hello noodles074!
    Let's get your device working again! It's possible that your device just needs to be reprovisioned on our network. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Subscriber Services>Reprovision Account. This may take several minutes. After allowing about 5 minutes for completion, please power your iPad off and back on, and test it again. Let us know if this takes care of it!
    Thank you,

  • I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today.  Why and how can I fix this?

    I cannot play most of the music in my iTunes as of today.  I have over 14,000 songs.  Almost ALL of them have exclamation points next to them and when I try to play them, a window saying error type 9044 appears and tells me the files cannot be located.

    Do you keep your files on an external drive?  If so, it helps to know this in advance.

  • Airport has a self assigned IP address. Why and how can I fix it

    Airport has a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet. Why and how can I fix it?

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it

    The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 3 days ago

    If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
    The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
    Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
    The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
    You can disable/remove the ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

  • Tried to transfer all my data to iPhone 5 from iPhone 3GS lost my email and app data?  Do you why and how I can fix this?

    Hi...
    Tried to transfer all my data to iPhone 5 from iPhone 3GS lost ONLY my email and app data?  But weird thing is, its still on my old phone!!!
    Do you know why and how I can fix this?

    How did you "try" to transfer this data? The only way to restore App data is by restoring from a backup that contains the App data, then syncing the Apps back to the phone. Emails are not included in any iPhone backup, only account settings.
