Default Encoding for Mail

Mail on ipod touch seems to show all mails in ISO8859 or so.
The problem is I sometimes have to read mails in Chinese/Japanese encoded in EUC-CN/EUC-JP etc.
Is it possible to change the default encoding for Mail?

same problem with me. Sometime I can read Chinese/Japanese mails. Sometime the mails are unreadable. Why is Mail on mac be able to read all mails but mail on iTouch have encoding problems? I thought iTouch could be a better protable device system than windows CE in terms of international.

Problems with Default Encoding in Mail

I have been trying to change my default encoding settings in Apple Mail to Unicode-8. It has become necessary because some of the outlook clients that my colleagues use see my messages with control-characters/question marks. I know that this problem has been visited before and from the past posts I understand that closing the Mail and typing the following in the Terminal will do the trick:
defaults write com.apple.mail NSPreferredMailCharset "UTF-8"
I tried that several times and for some reason when I try to compose a new message, the encoding is set to "Automatic".
I would appreciate ANY help in this regard. I have been trying to get more information on this but my search has not yet been fruitful.
Thank you very much.

I do have the same problem as Steathford do, I tried
to add a dingbat without success (scissor), I still
have same "chinese signs everywhere",
I've never seen a case where the dingbat did not work. Could you send me an example? You need to go to your Sent folder, choose a message where you did this, and do Message > Send Again, and replace the original addressee with my email (tom at bluesky dot org).
When adding a dingbat, you must use the Character Palette as shown here, and not just change your font.

Default font for mail messages?

Is it possible to set up a default font for outgoing mail messages, such as Helvetica 12 point bold in dark blue, without having to click on font and color every time I compose an e-mail?

Default settings for mail attachements

I am using entourage as my primary mail account-how do I set Word, Excel, and Power Point as the as the default applications for their respective file attachments in mail?

Hi wagdad, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The way to set Default Apps to open certain kinds of files is to use the Finder.
Find a file type you want, do a Get Info on it, look for the "Open with" menu, click on it and select the Application, then click on "Change All" and close the Get Info Window. All

What is the default font for mail in Yosemite?

I upgraded from a previous version of OS X and my mail program uses:
- Message list font: System Font Regular 12
- Message font: Helvetica 12
- Fixed-width font: Menlo Regular 11
Are these the default fonts for a clean install of Yosemite?
Thanks,

Yes.

How do I change the default location for mail files?

I want to move my mail folders from /Library/Mail and /Library/Mail Downloads folders to a different drive. How can I do this? I know how to move them - I want to know how I make mail aware of where I have put them). I have an encrypted SSD I want to use.
I know I can encrypt the main drive but I don't want to do this.

Changing the default downloads folder is helpful. Solves part of the problem. I have PGP installed and it decrypts the emails as they come in and place them in my inbox as unencrypted so the emails themselves need to remain encrypted on the disk. I tried using alias's but couldn't get it to work.
I would just encrypt the whole disk but I am worried that I get other problems. I have had 8 Macbook Pro laptops in about 6 years and in that time only one has lasted 12 months plus without a replacement or repair. I don't think much of apples reliability or support for that matter, so rely heavily on disk clones to make sure I can keep working. The hardware is so rubbish I now keep a spare macbook for when my main one needs repaired. In fact I am running off my cloned disk just now because my brand new MBP 17" is in for repair for the 3rd time in 5 months. If the software wasn't so good I would swap back to that other operating system.

Problem of encoding for mail sender adapter

Hello, everyone.
I have faced the problem of mail sender adapter.
When someone send message with any content encoding (even UTF-8) and 8bit content type encoding the XI mail adapter corrupt special and foreign symbols. I checked the message for correct structure and encoding with tpcgw utility and it was fine. For example (this is what I can see in tcpgw)
==== Response ====

+OK Password required for user itra_xi
+OK XXXXX maildrop has 1 messages (2048 octets)

And after processing by XI mail adapter I have this payload (XIPAYLOAD mode using mail package)
Test
├É┬ó├É┬╡├æ┬ü├æ┬é
The same situation with using mail package in xml document.
Any suggestions how this can be corrected?

I switched UTF-8 encoding during displaying of http content in tcpgw utility and all other mail clients detect it as UTF-8 and work fine. Also this problem occurs with different mail clients that are senders of the message. So it seems adapter takes each byte of cyrillic symbol (each from two) and represents it as individual symbol.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe there is some configuration somewhere allowing to correct or maybe it's possible to write module to correct.. but it's quite complicated to split correct and incorrect symbols.

How to change Content-Transfer-Encoding for mail sending

Do you documents contain an XML Declaration like this at the top?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
If not, then they need to. The XML 1.0 specification says that if an XML declaration is not present, the processor must default to assume its in UTF-8 encoding.

Default programme for mail attachments

Since installing Snow Leopard, my Mail programme defaults to Numbers or Pages when opening attachments. How do I change the default back to Microsoft Word or Excel?

With such files, saved anywhere in your user folder, Control-click on one of each type, choose Get Info, and in the resulting window choose the program to use, and then further choose the selection to open all such files with that application. Do this once for a Word doc and once for an Excel file.

Default browser for Mail

Hi everyone,
I have Safari and FireFox browsers installed and use both but FireFox mostly. Is there a way I can make FireFox the default browser when I click on links in an e-mail.
I have looked in Mail preferences and can not see anything that helps.
Thanks in advance for any answers,
Alan

Hi Alan
In the Firefox Preferencess > Main, at the bottom, Check to see if Firefox is the default browser, and click on Check Now. If it isn't then you can select it to be, and Mail will use whatever is the default browser.

Change default settings for Mail

I'm in charge of updating our disk image for our MacBook Pro's running 10.6.2
I need to modify the following settings in our image.
-Junk Filter turned OFF
-Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments - ENABLED
-Edit > Attachments > Always Insert Attachments at End of Message - ENABLED
How can I change these settings on my image, so when the image is deployed to a Mac they will get the Mail Wizard setup with these settings set?
Thanks in Advance,

For what it's worth, I figured it out.
In addition to my iCloud calendars, I subscribed to CalDAV calendars from my office (from Snow Leopard Server). For some reason, you can't set or change a default calendar unless you turn off the CalDAV calendars. At that point, the option to set a default calendar magically appears. I set the default I wanted, then turned the CalDAV calendars back on, at which time the option disappeared again, but fortunately left my selected calendar as the default.
Hope this helps someone!

Setting default browser for Mail's contextual menu items

I use Firefox as my default browser. In "Safari>General>Default Web Browser" I have it set to Firefox and URL links within Mail trigger Firefox as expected.
However, if I right-click within an email message on some text and select 'Search in Google' it opens in Safari regardless of the default browser indicated in the Safari preferences.
Anybody know how to fix this? It's very annoying.

Hello,
I have been searching for the cause of this failure, but have not found much. It may relate to some problems with Contextual Menu Items, discussed within the article at the link below, but I do not know for sure:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/05/28/cm_pt1.html
and may relate to some incompleteness in Firefox, rather than OSX, per se. The contextual menu items are separate from the default preferences, I believe.
Btw, while I like some aspects of a Google search with Firefox, the fact that PDF links are downloaded, rather than opened in the browser, make me prefer Safari for searches. Perhaps there is a preference to cure this problem, but I have not looked very hard for it.

How do I setup Safari to be my default browser for Mail?

I am using an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2, Safari is 8.0.3, Mail is 8.2. Somehow, awhile ago, I set up my default browser as Firefox 35.0.1, and have been satisfied with it. Lately I have become unhappy with the way it responds to some clicks. I would like to try Safari, though I might miss some features of Firefox.

Open System Preferences > General then select Safari from the Default web browser: pop up menu.
