Body of email is being duplicated when I send attachments and copy someone

When I send emails with attachments, the outgoing message goes out as one email, however, what I type is duplicated.  This only happens if I copy someone else in that email (like myself).  If I send a message with an attachment and I copy myself, I notice that when I open that mail in a different email application (Eudora for example), the message I sent is duplicated.  For example, If I write a message that has "Dear Tom, thank you for writing. Attached is your invoice." and I send that mail to Tom and copy myself, and I open that mail in Eudora, I see that message as one incoming piece of mail, but it has the message to Tom listed twice in that same email.  It will only have the attachment listed once, however my message to Tom is listed twice.  I am not getting two emails, I am getting one email, but the message looks like I typed the same sentence twice.  Now, if I do the same thing, but I don't have an attachment, I do not see the message twice.

Hello, that's a strange one, in Mail>Preferences>Composing>Responding... what all is checked there?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ does not exist.

    I have been doing some test now and have found out that my mails are being merged according to subject eg, so if I use cleaning goods as a subject and send out a new mail all mails with this subject are sent to the one person

  • HT3529 When I send a message to someone it shows a +1 on their end...what does that mean.  It looks as if it is being sent to more than one person.

    That's a country code. Are you sending it to someone outside of the US or who is using a foreign carrier? Their carrier is prefixing the phone number with the country code for your phone number.

  • When i send a text to someone it also sends the text to me.  What is wrong?

    When I send a text to someone, it also sends the text to me.  What is wrong?

    "Text" - you mean iMessage?  If you receive a copy it means your phone is using the same Apple ID address as the one you're sending to:
    On both phones:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at > set different addresses for each phone.

  • Body of email displayed is not from the sender in the header

    I could not find anything about this in a search, and a visual scan of the discussions.
    After two weeks of being shut down (vacation), and occasionally during that time accessing email through dotMac, I encountered the following when I restarted my home desktop.
    Some of the emails have a body and a heading that do not match. The body, whether HTML or Rich Text, is clearly from a different email than the header. And, to emphasize, this is not ALL the email, only SOME of them (I cannot discern a pattern here!).
    The same emails display just fine through the online dotMac Safari window, the body being from the corresponding sender (I keep them stored on the server).
    So, something happens to SOME of the emails when downloading from the server to my computer. This body/header incongruity still happens to SOME emails that come through now, days after the initial restart.
    Perhaps related - there were a lot of emails to download/sync. Mail crashed OFTEN until the accounts synced with the server. (I sent MANY crash reports to Apple). I worked through dotMac Mail in Safari to delete/read/respond/etc.; Mail finally quit crashing when the number of new emails was greatly reduced.
    Observations? Solutions? Please Help!

    No, I have never had a response that even offered a suggestion until just today. The problem never "self-corrected" - even though I use IMAP, those emails, when displayed on my computer had the incongruity between the header and the body as I described.
    Since it has been up and going, all subsequent emails have been OK. It was just that initial restart/sync after the desktop had been shut down, for several weeks, and I had accessed the mail online while gone.
    I see there is a post after yours about trashing the plist. Maybe I'll try that, but it seems to not be an issue now.

  • When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

    I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
    I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
    I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • When I send an iMessage sometimes someone else will revive the message in their email.

    Why when I send an iMessage does it sonetimes get revived by another persons email

    I can tell you that with Sprint their coverage area isn't as good as Verizon or AT&T.
    Are you sending these imessage while on wifi or cellular data?  Also your husband would need to be in a good coverage area.
    Usually when imessage is unavailable it will send it as a text.  Does your husband receive your imessage as a text?

  • Desperately Frustrated: My emails show up blank when photos or attachments are sent. How can I change that so I see the photo in the body of my email?

    I have only had my Mac for 2 weeks and when I received emails with photos the photos automatically showed up in the body of the email, now I have to physically open it with Quick Look to look at them. How did this change? Its really frustrating, I cannot find anything by googling this problem.
    My preferences are set as rich text is there anything else I need to do?
    Thank you

  • How can I prevent songs from being duplicated when adding them to my iPod?

    One feature I really like about iTunes is that if you have a song on a playlist, iTunes will notify you if you are adding a duplicate song to that playlist. I am looking for the same help managing my iPod.
    For example if I have a playlist in iTunes called "AAA" and a corresponding playlist on my iPod called "AAA", my aim is to have the same content on each. If it is a playlist that I update/change on an ongoing basis on my iTunes, my issue is that I have to remember what songs I have updated or deleted off of this playlist in order to avoid duplicated songs when I have my iPod plugged in.
    I would like to just drag this "AAA" playlist from iTunes to my iPod and have just the new songs be added to the "AAA" playlist on my iPod.
    Hopefully there something I'm overlooking and therefore a way to constrict what is added to the iPod. If you know how to do this, please let me know because this would make iPod music management just as great as iTunes management.
    THANKS!

    I turned off "manually manage music and videos" years ago and sync my iPods by syncing "selected playlists". Any playlist changes I make on the Mac are automatically synced to the iPods when connected.

  • Photo folders being duplicated when I sync from iphoto using iTunes

    I have lots of photos in albums and have only a few selected to sync with my iphone5 in itunes. The sync works ok, but I think I'm getting duplicates of the photos. Each folder I have selected shows up in the iphone PHOTOS app seprately, plus each photo shows up in the default PHOTO LIBRARY folder on the phone. I'm not sure if the photos are actually duplicated, but I thought the iphoto folders would be created as-is in the PHOTO LIBRARY folder? Am I reading the documentation wrong or am I doing something wrong? Are these photos on my phone twice, taking up extra storage?

    That's the way it works, & there is nothing wrong. iPhone organizes photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos synced to your phone appear in your "Photo Library". The photos in the various albums/folders are not duplicates, rather they are pointers to the actual photos, which, again, are in your Photo Library.

  • I am using apple mail on my Mac and have two different accounts set up, one personal and one business. when i send mail a copy of the message is being saved into my business account swell.

    Both accounts are Imap but the business one is Gmail and the persoanl one is 1and1. when i compose new mail in my personal account I make sure it says its going from my 1and1 account but for some reason the message appears in both sent boxes.
    I need to fix this as I dont want other people using the business account seeing my personal sent emails!
    This has only just started in last couple of days when I did something on accounts but cant think what that would have been.
    hope someone can help.

    I'd like to have one Apple Mail application for my one very important email account while the rest can stay on a different Apple Mail app.
    Consider using Thunderbird for the "rest."
