Blank Email Messages Sent from Mail to Some Recipients!

When I send email, using Apple Mail, I'm told that the body of my messages appear completely blank (although my address and the subject line do come through). I've narrowed it down to people who have hotmail, msn, and earthlink accounts.
I have tried on both my MacBook Pro and older G4. They both have this problem. I also have 4 email accounts, all through different services, and again all have this problem.
I am using some CSS in my signatures, but when I don't use a signature I still have this problem.
Any ideas on what the issue might me. Thanks in advance.

Hi ideaspring
I compared your plist to mine. There were many differences naturally, but some stand out in my opinion:
I found the following in your plist, but no in mine:
EncryptOutgoingMessages = 1;
I'm not sure, what this is, but I believe you might have installed a .Mac certificate and set you .Mac account to use this certificate to encrypt or just sign your messages.
I played with that some time ago: the problem was: windows mail clients had to go through quite a hassle to verify my cert, while Mail.app users were fine.
I found the following in my plist, but not in yours.
SendFormat = Plain;
SendWindowsFriendlyAttachments = 1;
AttachAtEnd = 1;
The first can be set in Preferences > Composing, the second and third via the Edit Menu > Attachments > Always...
It would be helpful, if you could narrow the problem down to one of your mailboxes and one recipient, who is willing to help you testing. Even if it happens to all your mailboxes and some recipients, it would be good, if we could find a way of always reproducing the symptom.
Hth,

Customizing the email message sent from BPF after step completion

Is it possible to customize the email message sent by BPF after a step completion.I would like to customize the email sent by the SAP BPC once a BPF step has been completed. Is it possible to add some dynamic parameters related to the BPF as part of the email message, for example : Cost Centre, Account, Finance or any dimension related to the BPF
Currently it sends out a message as given below
[Approve Data] step of [Test BPF 1] has been completed by dom\bpfuser
Where
[Test BPF 1] => Name of the BPF
[Approve Data] => A Step in the BPF
dom\bpfuser => Domain\ User name
Note :In the APPSET Parameter BPFSTEP_COMPLETE_MSG we tried to add a custom message but it seems to add to display along with the existing message and treats the variables as plain text.

I used the Note 2 for over 6 months before it started happening. About the same time, my husband's iPhone started sending text to email messages at attachments to I blamed it on his phone. I went into his settings and couldn't find any reason and I checked a multitude of websites and saw MANY people having the same issue with no resolution. I also tried deleting all text history and contact info from both of our phones but it continued to happen until I reset my phone to factory defaults.
2 weeks ago I purchased the Note 3 and text messages from my daughter started coming as [email protected] Again, I tried purging all contact information and text message history from both phones with no success. I waited until my daughter upgraded to a Galaxy S4 Mini. I reset my phone to factory at the same time I was setting her phone up and that has fixed the problem again.
My main concern now is that this bug will again randomly rear it's ugly head and I'll again have to reset my phone to factory, losing all my settings and taking days to customize it the way I want it again.
Thank you for ANY help you can give.

Portal self registration - modifying email messages sent from database

Hi,
Using Self Registration feature of Portal, we need to modify the text sent to approved users by email.
current message:
The account that you requested at https://mysite/portal/pls/portal/ has been approved. You may now log on to the portal using the username (blaaablaa) and the password that you specified during registration.
I need to change this to something more appropriate/user friendly
Does anyone have experience of this? Could I use UTL_MAIL to modify these messages?
TIA
Kevin

Hi
Thought I'd give an update to this. The portal was sending from an unrecognised account on our mail server. Setting the Approvers account and page group contact email recitified this.

How can I set my iPhone to show email messages sent from my desktop?

Using iPhone 5, are there setting that I'm missing to allow me to see sent messages from my desktop Mac on my iPhone?

So to be clear, when you are looking at the Mailboxes side bar, you are tapping through to the email address in the ACCOUNTS section (below INBOXES), then to the Sent folder. Correct?
If yes, is there perhaps more than one Sent folder? Maybe one called Sent and another called Sent (IMAP) or something similar? Maybe take a look at that long list of folders to be sure you looking in the correct one.
If that does't work, then do as I suggested and delete the account and add it again as new.

Blank incoming email messages - only in Mail

There's some email lists that I subscribe to, with automated earthquake and volcano information, and recently the emails are blank, when I view them using Mac Mail. However, if I check my email with a browser, I can see the content of the message. If I look at these emails in Mail with the Raw Source, they are still blank. Does anybody know what is up? Someone thought perhaps a newer version of Mail is pickier about html. I've not found anyone else with the same problem in my office, and I don't see a mention of it on the discussion boards.
Cheers, Peter

First off, view the Long Header details (from Mail, choose View > Message > Long Headers; from MobileMe Mail, the gearbox button (list of actions) > Preferences > Viewing > Enable "Show Long Headers"). This exposes a whole lot of heretofore invisible data.
Making sense of it is another issue, but I think I may have found something (from a Mac user, to boot) that seems to hit the nail right on the head.
Robert Vaessen has a very extensive, scholarly post, dated January of this year, about this very issue on his site at <http://www.robsworld.org/blankemail.html>. The post is detailed, technical, and certainly worth reading for anyone who is concerned enough to have sought out this discussion thread. But to cut to the chase, here is his conclusion:
+"It is my opinion, (based upon more than ten years worth of fighting spam, ten years of running web sites, and extensive research) that these blank emails (in my experience), and millions like them are part of a growing spam problem. These blank email messages represent part of a spammers whitelisting effort. Responses which generate bounce messages permit the spammer to refine his/her recipient list, while the ones that get delivered are marked as valid addressees. These lists are then used by the spammer in his/her own campaign, sold to other spammers, or both."+
He recommends (and provides some how to's for) reporting the emails back up the food chain as the best thing we can do to help cauterize the bleeding. What I'm wondering now is if we can somehow (SpamSieve, maybe?) set our Macs to bounce anything from the offending servers, so that our address becomes 'dead' to them.
I'm also pursuing this with MobileMe support—it seems that everything to do with MobileMe is now being handled outside of AppleCare, and the only path is online chatting with them. I'm also curious as to why my MobileMe account seems to be the only place these are surfacing; i.e., are my other accounts' servers already bouncing such messages, or am I just not seeing them? If I get anything helpful from MobileMe, I'll post it here.

I sent a mail to some one by mistake just now. How can I recall a message if the person has not read it yet?

hello sanjaykaul, that won't be possible - once an email leaves your mail server it is no longer under your control.

How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?

How can I make a rule to mark all messages sent to Mail Trash as Read?
When I look at some emails on my phone, I can see from the title that I don't need to read the email so I delete it without opening it. When I go to my Macbook Pro and open mail, the number of unread messages in my Trash shows next to the name. It drives me nuts. Can I just set a rule to mark all messages sent to trash as read? If that isn't possible, I'd take just making the number not show beside the Trash folder.

Just in the case that I actually do need to go back to them for some reason. I have some OCD tendencies which is also why the number beside the folder drives me nuts.

My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. With the upgrade to ios6 all text messages sent from my phone show up on hers to include responses from my text. text that she sends from her phone appear as if from mine. How do we stop it?

My wife and I each have an iPhone 4S. Ever since the upgrade to ios6, text messages sent from my iPhone also appear on hers? All response to those text also show up on both devices. Likewise, text sent by her appear to others as having been sent from my iPhone. I have tried turning group messages off but nothing works. How can I correct this on both phones? Appreciate any help.

You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

Messages sent from secondary mailboxes getting stuck in Outbox.

I have two users who recently began having a problem with messages sent from secondary mailboxes getting stuck in their Outbox.
The details:
We're using Exchange Server 2010 version 14.03.0224.002
Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1
Office 2010 version 14.0.7140.5002 (32-bit)
The user in question whom I will call Jane has full rights and send as rights to the department's mailbox (which I will call "Common"), however, the Outlook profile on her computer is setup so that Common is the default mailbox
and Jane is a secondary mailbox.
The problem is that in the last few weeks messages send from Jane get stuck in the Outbox. We have recreated Jane's Outlook profile on her computer which resolves the problem, but only for a day or two before it begins to happen again.
Additional info: Jane logs into her computer and her email as herself. As stated above she has full rights and send as rights to Common. Common also has full rights and send as rights to Jane's email.
We have used this setup successfully for many years for several of our users. The problem started with one user a few weeks ago and now a second user who accesses a different Common mailbox is having the same problem. Both systems have been
thoroughly checked for viruses and malware, etc.
Anybody got any ideas?

The same thing happens to me. Really irritating. However, even after rebooting, the mail is sometimes stuck in the outbox. Anybody have a solution?

Why i couldn't open email that sent from Outlook?

                 Please help me for this matter, i had bought my BB Curve 8520 for just only 5 days and use latest firmware. I have setup 2 emails 1.) hotmail 2.) Outlook (Official mail) i found this issue after i had setup my office email for a few days.
                Issue is when i open email that sent from Outlook (Official mail) that contained file .png or attached with file .png by using HTML my bb couldn't open it, it will stuck but i can use any function but just the email that didn't open.
                I ha contacted with my Local support, they inform me to do the hard reset, after i had hard reset it working fine with same email that couldn't open previously. After one day had past it has the same issue again.
Please help me to fixed this issue, thank you in advance.
P.S. I had never install any unauthorized program.

Photoshop doesn't do anything special or different when a file is sent from an attachment. However, when you send an attachment from Outlook to Photoshop, that file is actually downloaded to your computer in a Temp folder before it is sent to Photoshop. Often times the permissions on this folder can be such that it prevents access. Other than that, all Outlook does is simply drop the file onto the Photoshop app file. The only thing that would involve Photoshop directly is if there are some damaged files involved with its connection to the rest of the system. If this is the case a reinstall would fix it. Otherwise, check the permissions on the Outlook temp folder (or at least the JPEG file it is trying to save).

Setting the account your email is sent from

I have followed the instructions for Setting the account your email is sent from, but it is not working.
Email is not being sent from the account I have at the top of my list of accounts in my mail preferences.
How do I fix this problem?
IMAC G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Copied from Mail Help:
If you have set up multiple accounts in Mail, when you create a new message, the account the message is sent from is the one associated with the currently selected mailbox. If the current mailbox is listed in the On My Mac section of the mailbox list and is not associated with any particular account, then your message is sent from the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:
The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first address it finds as the reply address.
If the message is in an account mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.
If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
Tiger Mail includes a default account selection for "send new mail from" regardless which mailbox is currently selected when selecting New to compose a new message.

Messages sent from iMessanger on Mac wont come through on my iPhone

Hey there,
Ive been sending messages from iMessenger on my Mac to friends and they are receiving them on their phones and Mac messengers from me as normal, however they dont come through on my iPhone. So I have two seperate messages happening.. I can have conversations with friends from my phone or computer but they are not syncing up together. How am I able to have messages sent from my Mac appear on my iPhone?
Hopefully that wasnt too confusing, kind of hard to explain.
Thanks in advance!

Go into iMessages settings to see what e-mail is linked with the account. If your daughters email is listed there, that is the reason you are receiving her iMessages.
Settings>iMessages>Email

Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.

Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.
In my enviroment , I have Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 - i have a shared mailbox called
ServiceDesk. I have added this mailbox to user "Mike" and given mike "Send as Permission" .
The problem
When ever mike sends an email from ServiceDesk
- the email goes to his personal sent items instead of the sharedmailbox
sent items. Is there a way to force any email sent from serviceDesk Mailbox to its own sent items folder? .

Below is a similar solution to my problem but i do not want to make any changes to my registry. Please any other solution to this?

Thanks guys for your help ..

Hi,
This is maybe the wrong forum for this question, but anyway;
Thie site you were pointing out's solution is valid.
Please look in to the following KB article that describes the steps needed to solve this issue. A hotfix package (which you might not need and a a "fixit" dowload for it, but will also change the registry key.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972148
If you have a larger environment and would want to deploy the registry value, I'd suggest using Group Policy Preferences Registry settings.

Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API

Setting Importance Level for a email message using javax.mail.* API
From what I understand we can set Flag on Email Message. How can we set Importance Leve: High/Low for an email message?
Thanks
Purvi

Most of the message Flags work only for IMAP mailboxes. POP3 supports only the DELETED flag. It must be understood that Javamail is a framework which provides all the features available in a standard mailing system. But whether or not a particular feature works is a functionality of the particular implementation being used.
Thus for example POP3 cannot differentiate read from unread messages in a mailbox though Javamail provides that feature.

Some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is left on the POP server

Hi All,
I have a weird problem where some email is downloaded into Mail and some mail is not.
If I log into our ISP's webmail system, there are a whole bunch of emails that are just sitting there. These emails have not ever been downloaded to Mail.
I've tried to create a duplicate account, but Mail doesn't allow the same username & password in more than one account, which is kind of frustrating - I get an error stating that these user details are already in use.
Our ISP says it's the client machine, as no one else in the office is having this issue.
The connection doctor can connect to the servers and 30 or 40 emails are downloaded to Mail each day - just some emails don't.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
OSX 10.4.6
Mail 2.0.7
Any help would be much appreciated.
Powerbook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.6) Mail 2.0.7

Assuming the account is a POP type account, quit Mail first and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account) > MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2.
Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and a new MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded2 file will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
If successful, any previously downloaded messages that remain on the server will be downloaded again along with any messages available on the server not yet downloaded by Mail.
The reason you cannot create two accounts in Mail with the same user name and incoming mail server is based on the account and associated mailbox filing structure within the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail. When creating an account in Mail, an account named folder is created at the first level within the Mail folder named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account.
In addition, if this were possible I don't think it would resolve much by having identical accounts created in Mail with both accounts checking the incoming mail server at the same time.
