Creating html email with apple's mail

How do i get an html page (created in Dreamweaver) to show up in apple's mail window?
I want the html page to display. If I just attach the html file all I get is an icon of the file not the look of the html file (ie with background color and placed photo and html text). I know to have the placed image with an absolute reference (ie. http://www.whatever.com/image.jpg)

Tiger Mail uses Apple's new WebKit authoring engine, creating complex HTML email messages with Mail's trademark simplicity. However, most of the power of that engine is inaccessible. Aside from the addition of an "Add Hyperlink…" menu item, Mail's composition window offers no better text or layout controls than 10.0's Mail did in 2001.
Tiger was replaced by Leopard last October, and Leopard Mail has a new feature called Stationery which might provide some of what you are talking about:

  • Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

    Hello everyone,
    I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it. 
    They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook. 
    Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
    I then setup the second btinternet  email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
    Please help
    Thanks in advance
    PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

    Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

  • When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

    I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
    I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
    Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
    However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
    I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
    Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
    If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
    I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
    So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
    A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
    Thanks..

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
    Harv..

  • HTML emails with attachments

    When I compose an html email (ie: using the float left alignment on a picture) and add an attachment(word doc), the formatting is lost on the recipient's end. In fact usually, the body of the message is blank and the pictures, html file, and original attachment all show up as attachments. I'm wondering if this is an undocumented limitation of Mail or if I'm doing something wrong. I know that when you compose a mail using stationery you can't add any attachments.
    The formatting isn't even correct in Mail's sent folder (show up as rich text similar to Mail 2's formatting). Is anyone out there able to send an html email with an attachment?
    ~Ryan

    It looks like there is an actual RFC for HTML e-mail. It is a bit more "standard" than I thought. When I looked at the raw messages last night, they didn't look like other HTML MIME messages I had worked with in the past. If I can provide that Apple Mail doesn't conform to this RFC, I will update the bug report with the details. In the past, Apple has been very good with e-mail standards - years ahead of everyone else. I certainly hope the format of the message is correct and it is just a display problem.

  • Using Templates/Drafts in Email with Attachments Mac Mail

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a standard email that to send to new clients once they sign up. This standard email contains attachments and will need a few customizations (e.g.: Name, ad size, start and end dates, etc).
    Is there a way to save a draft email that will not disappear once you send it to someone?
    I am aware of saving as stationary, but stationary can't be saved with attachments.
    In my previous PC/Outlook world, I would create an email with "_____"s in it to remind me to change these fields for the individual recepient (nothing worse than sending a client information that only pertains to the last client you sent it to). I would then simply open that email and click on the "____"s and fill in the info for the individual I'm sending to.
    With Mac Mail and Drafts, I can create a template, but once I send it to someone, it deletes the draft. UGH! So frustrating!
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Mail/Mailbox/New Mailbox - select On My Mac to create the Mailbox. Then drag a copy of the draft there before you send the other one.
    See last post.

  • Can I create html emails in iWeb?

    I see those html emails with the colours and the embedded images and links to the website. The programming doesn't seem tough but I don't know how to create them and then how to send them.
    I use Entourage for email but am not married to it, and wondered if anyone had any resources. I'm looking to do a newsletter style email (images links to site, etc.), not that different from an eVite, but I've not heard of anyway to create them.
    thanks

    The way you do this currently is to create your web
    page, open it with Tiger Safari, and use the menu
    item for emailing the contents. However you may need
    to put your page on a server and I think pages
    created with iWeb may not work that well -- you would
    need to experiment.
    I just did this both ways. Creating an email from an iWeb site hosted on the internet worked OK... but didn't pick up the background graphic, tiled.... maybe I just didn't wait long enough! (Ha!)
    And I did it from the local files on my computer, (Publish to Folder), and it worked much better, picking up the background immediately.
    So....open the page you want (index.html) in Safari>File>Mail Contents of this Page.
    Would work GREAT just for doing an email Newsletter with Graphics and such!

  • How do I get my email in Apple's Mail program from old drive to new drive?

    I can not determine from Apple's support info how to export my email in Apple's Mail program from the old drive to the new drive.
    The old 60 GB drive was at 55GB and had 3 volume structure problems. It would not backup all files using SuperDuper!, but I could backup the user files onto an external 250GB Tintanium Fantom Drive. So I installed a new 120 GB in the iMac and took the old 60GB drive and put it in an external firewire drive housing, which mounts, runs and will even act as the startup drive. I installed 10.3.9 on the new 120GB drive. I was able to export the address book over to the new drive with no problems, but I don't know how to export the email.
    There does not appear to be an export function in Apple's Mail program (This sounds kind of ???).
    I have a lot of email (#???) in a lot folders and subfolders (60) in addition to the inboxes, plus all the sent mail (2,000)

    The Mail.app preference file (which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences) is located at Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist.
    All Mail.app mailboxes and other data is stored in the Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail.
    With the Mail.app quit on the new hard drive, place a copy of the Mail folder from the old hard drive at Home > Library on the new drive. If there is an existing Mail folder at Home > Library, this will replace it.
    Place a copy of the com.apple.mail.plist file from the old hard drive at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive. If there is an existing com.apple.mail.plist file at Home > Library > Preferences on the new hard drive (and there should be one if you have launched the Mail.app on the new hard drive), this will replace it.
    Launch Mail on the new hard drive and the Mail.app should be completely restored or identical to the Mail.app on the old hard drive.

  • Sending HTML email with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

    Hi all,
    I have implemented a function module to send HTML emails with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
    It works fine, but in every email I have at the end a CRLF which looks not very nice in MS Outlook.
    It seems that this will be added to every email in addition to my HTML text.
    Has anyone an idea how I can prevent this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Marcel

    Hi Marcel,
    not only you can, you should use CL_BCS for sending of email. Although I expect it to be not too different from the old functions, it points to the object oriented future of SAP/ABAP. At least it should run more stable and SAP recommends to use it as a replacement for old functions.
    I came across one blog
    [Sending HTML Email from SAP CRM/ERP|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417300%29ID2058700050DB10227264795501776639End?blog=/pub/wlg/2273]
    You may be careful with this one: Probably it's not exactly what you need.
    The one I love most for its simplicity is this one

    although it does not mention HTML - I think easy for you to adapt. Compared  to functional SO_DOCUMENT.. approach the program will shrink.
    If you want to understand the concepts behind, nobody explains it better than

  • Create HTML email

    Hi people,
    I would like to create an email with a formatted body in HTML (with a table).
    The body has a lot of tables. Each table was a background color in header and another background color in the other lines.
    Is there a simple way to do this?
    Thank you!
    Cristiana

    Small tip -:)
    DATA: CR TYPE X VALUE 13. "For ABAP break line...
    DATA: MESSAGE(500) TYPE C.
      CONCATENATE '<HTML>' CR '<BODY>' CR
      '<FONT COLOR=''GREEN''><H1>Test message!</H1></FONT>'
      CR '</BODY>' CR '</HTML>'
      INTO MESSAGE.

  • Some HTML emails get corrupted in Mail.app

    I get a lot of HTML emails and just occasionally Mail.app seems to mangle the headers and think the mail is plain text, which means the attachments are useless. I then have to resort to Thunderbird to read the email.
    The corrupted emails usually start as follows:
    --Boundary-00=_T7P340MWKGMMYJ0CCJD0
    Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; boundary="Boundary-00=_Z7P340MWKGMMYJ0CCJD0"
    --Boundary-00=_Z7P340MWKGMMYJ0CCJD0
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    Anyone any ideas what is going wrong or how I might stop this from happening?

    Hi Shang_Li,
    Unless you pay for the Hotmail premium account, the default mail access for Hotmail is POP3. By default when you "pop" a message off the mail server it removes that message from the server. That's why the messages are missing from the web interface. When you configure POP you have the option to leave a copy on the server for a specific period of time.
    Here's a good URL that explains the process - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3228
    If you don't want mail to be removed off the server you can just uncheck the box that's mentioned in the above article. Or if you do want to have messages removed you can specify how long they're kept on the server (viewable on the web) after you access them in Mail.

  • A free e-mail account to use with Apple's Mail

    Hi,
    I used to have an 1 Gb e-mail account in Spymac.com. I could read and send e-mails in the Spymac site or through the Apple's Mail.
    Not anymore: only at the Spymac page.
    Now, I am looking for an e-mail that I could get to work through Mail; it does not need to be big: 100 Mb would be enough.
    I could not put the aim.com to work with Mail and I do not want Google's or Microsoft's . As a matter of fact, I would prefer an account with a small player.
    By the way, I use 10.3.9, but this discussion is connect with Tiger and Panther was left away.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I want to thank Mulder, NoteFarm and Claire JR for the help.
    Before each of the posts, I had opened up an account at Earth Link, but could not make it work
    with Mail, even following the instructions.
    It appears that the Mail application has some trouble, because before I could use it and now I could not figure out in neither Aim or Earth Link.
    After I got your answers, I read each one of the options and tried to choose from that.
    The first one was the MacMail (because the name), but the service is out for new users, with this message: We're sorry, MacMail user registration is closed at this time.
    The second one was <http://www.fastmail.fm/>, withTaglines on emails.
    I will give it a try, because although 10 MB of storage space is too little,if I can use it with Apple’s Mail, I could delete the e-mails at fastmail.fm and have those only at Mail. I hope that the Taglines on emails do not be too big.
    The more interesting, before really knowing and hoping that it works through Mail, is <http://www.mailshack.com>, because it is opposed to Google’s Gmail , because the same reasons I do not use Google’s products: lack of privacy and become a target for ads, differently of <http://www.cashette.com/myCashette/CashetteMail/homepage.htm>, where one could make money reading ads.
    I could not yet make Mail work; if I get there, I will repost, because the people that spent their time here deserve a return of the suggestions.
    Thanks,

    Help- how do i get in contact with Apple via mail or chat for support
    This is ridiculous, why can I not get in contact with Apple by email or chat with their support team?? How to do, please help.

    You cannot contact Apple support by e-mail or via chat.
    You have to contact AppleCare by telephone.
    If there is an Apple store nearby, visit the genius bar.

  • Html email with blob attachment and authentication

    I have been looking for a plsql package to send html emails with blob attachments. The html portion and the blob attachment are more than 32k.
    Also the email server needs to be authenticated.
    Does anyone know of something already written to do this? I’ve found lots of code that does one or two items but not all.
    Must:
    - Authenticate
    - Html email
    - Accept blob as input parameter for attachment
    - Exceed 32k
    There are so many routines, I’ve been searching looking for one which does all.

    This works for authentication:
    utl_smtp.command(l_mail_conn, 'AUTH LOGIN' );
    utl_smtp.command(l_mail_conn,utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw ( v_username ))));
    utl_smtp.command(l_mail_conn,utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(utl_encode.base64_encode(utl_raw.cast_to_raw ( v_password ))));

Maybe you are looking for
