Different rich text/plain text settings for different accounts?

I use Mail for both my work email (MS Exchange) and my personal email (webmail/IMAP). Many of my coworkers use Outlook's rich text formatting options, so I need to have my work emails go out as rich text. However I'd like to have my personal emails go out as plain text.
I can set Mail to create new messages in plain text, but to reply in the same format of the original message. That takes care of everything EXCEPT when I compose a new message using my work address... in that case it goes out as plain text, and my coworkers complain that they can't use formatting, because their copies of Outlook are in turn configured to reply in the same format as the original message.
So ideally what I'd like is to have two different formatting settings for my two different accounts. Anyone know how this might be done? Any plugins, etc., that might accomplish this?

Since you are running Jaguar, Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing in HTML and this includes when forwarding a message received that was composed in HTML.
Since Jaguar and Panther Mail do not support composing or forwarding HTML, you can't embed images or photos in the message body anyway.
RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML and although Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor, you can copy/paste HTML format from a web page and forward HTML received.
Images/photos and single page PDF attachments are revealed as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This applies to received and sent messages which is not the same as being embedded. Embedded requires HTML and an embedded attachment is not a true attachment. All Mail.app versions render HTML received but you cannot attach a photo or image as embedded with Jaguar or Panther Mail so it doesn't matter if you use RTF or Plain Text in regards to photo/image or single page PDF attachments which appear as inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless.
When you use Plain Text for message composition, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses.
IMO, everyone should use Plain Text for message composition. Messages would be boring to some but the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated if HTML was banned from message composition.

  • Different settings for different projects

    Hi,
    I'm wondering why it is that Final Cut Pro cannot keep different AV setups and scratch disks for different projects. I am working with several different projects on my computer. Some in PAL, some in NTSC, some capturing from Betacam, others from DV, and all having different capture settings, including different scratch disks.
    Every time I open a different project, I have to reset every one of these things...you'd think it was an incredibly basic thing to have these things "remembered" by project, so that you didn't have to reconfigure everything every time you switched (even with making an Easy Setup it's a pain). Or maybe it IS incredibly basic and I'm just missing something?
    Thanks in advance for shedding light on this subject!

    Thanks for the response...that is a good suggestion, I might try that if it turns out to be quicker to switch user than to switch settings each time.... I'll have to think through the implications, like permissions and such, to make sure I don't dig the hole deeper. But I like the idea because I do need to digitize to different drives as they get disconnected from my system and travel to different places, heheh...
    This is something I've hated about FCP for years and years...today I was thinking about it and thought, it can't be, it's just such a basic thing, available in so many applications...I must be wrong and there must be a way to do it that I don't know about! I mean, for me it's enough to want to take the Pro off the end of Final Cut Pro. For people who use this tool in the industry I'd say it's almost a must-have. I mean, you can work without it, but it IS a big pain!
    In any case, thanks for your help!

  • I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs

    I am unable to update my apps as for different app updates it ask password for different apple IDs. About these many IDs i am unaware.

    You only can update those Apps, if you know the Passwords from the AppleIDs, which were used for purchase.
    If you´re unable to enter these Passwords you can´t update them.
    You can delete those Apps from your device and purchase & download them again with your own known AppleID.
    There is no other Way to get them updated. Because you are not the owner of those Apps.

    Hello all,
    Does any one know IMG path for settings for contract account related activities (Tcode - caa1\caa2\caa3). We have 2 systems of SAP ISU. One system shows various fields blocks under 'General data' tab like 'Account management data', 'contract account remarks', 'invoicing', 'associated work activity' while other system only shows 'Account management data' and 'associated work activity'  that too with very less no of fields in there.
    Is it because of any functional settings through IMG or is there any other reason?
    Regards,
    Abhi

    In IMG there is a setting where in you can make settings for the fields of activities like contract account create , change , display .

  • Proxy settings for different providers

    Hi is there a website where i can find all the proxy settings and gprs settings for each network provider in the UK and in europe?
    i am having trouble conecting to a server using a socket connection on some different network providers. it works on a T mobile contract SIM but on a 02 pay as u go and on a vodaphone contract i doesnt seem to work. i doubt its my code has it works on the T mobile SIM so i was wondering if i have to connect to the server using some sort or proxy for various network providers.
    Or could it be that the network provider is blocking the port? is there a way to find out if the ports blocked?

  • Different sync settings for different podcasts?

    Here's a dilemma: From what I can figure so far, if you choose a Sync option (from the Podcast tab for your iPod when it's connected to iTunes), that option will apply to ALL of the podcasts you are sync-ing to your iPod - whether that's one, several, or all your podcasts. Well, what if you want different sync instructions for different podcasts?
    For example, is there a way to have iTunes do the following, all at once, on the same iPod:
    Sync only the "1 most recent" episode from Podcasts A, B, and C,
    ...AND...
    Sync "all" episodes from Podcast D.
    Because, seems to me, to keep all of the episodes of show D on iPod, you have to either have every episode of shows A, B and C loaded (which you don't want), or else have ONLY show D load (with not even the latest episodes from shows A B and C, which you WOULD like to have).
    Would this require setting up a Smart Playlist for each show, or am I overlooking some other (obvious?) way of achieving separate sync instructions? Anxious for your insights.

    josh,
    i came on here looking for the same answer...this is probably the single most lame setting (or lack thereof) in itunes...I love apple and i'm a mac enthusiast who has converted 2 friends in the past 3 months, and i think they've done this for simplicity's sake, but it drives me up a wall to have a universal "keep" setting. The "Do Not Delete" is not enough, i'd love to have different keep settings for my podcasts.

  • I new to java but how do you load different settings for different browers?

    Let's say i want the page to be font size 6 on FF but size 8 on IE. I know there is a code like "if firefox" but i'm not sure how to set it up.

    I agree with the previous posts. I think it would be better to learn the fundamentals rather than spend time tweeking a web page for different browsers.
    A java web site is made up of several technologies in addition to java such as javascript, xhml, sql, tomcat, etc, etc in addition to java specialties such as JSP and Servlets that you should learn before tweeking a web page. I suggest reading whole books on these topics such as starting with 'Thinking in Java' (I wonder if I can get a commission from the authors for recommending their book so often in these posts?)

  • Is it possible to have different settings for different podcasts?

    I know that you can change the setting for podcasts on iTunes - things like how often they're checked for new episodes and whether they're all kept or deleted after listening.
    But some podcasts are more timely, like news programs, and I would like to delete those when they get old. Others are "keepers" and I would like to keep them indefinitely. I know I can go back and manually delete individual episodes, but that's kind of a pain.
    So is it possible to change the settings for individual podcasts?
    Thanks.

    Thanks. There is an option for allowing or not allowing auto-delete, which looks like it may be what I want. I'm giving it a try.

  • RTF Text - PLain Text

    Can I use the swing.text.rtf library to convert RTF text into plain text? If so, what's a quick way to do so? What I need to do is parse some given string of RTF code to see if there is any actual text inside (other than just RTF commands)
    I wanted to use PDFFilter as referenced in PDFParser but apparently that class does not exist

    sorry for resing the topic but I have almost exact same problem. However when I tested this solution it doesnt seem to work so I figured you may tell me what am I doing wrong. I have the following code
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    import javax.swing.text.rtf.*;
    public class rtf2text {
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
             StringReader sr = new StringReader("{\\lang1033\\langfe1049\\langnp1033  text \\par \\par \\par Some table \\par \\par \\par}");
          JEditorPane editor = new JEditorPane();
          RTFEditorKit kit = new RTFEditorKit();
          editor.setEditorKit(kit);
          javax.swing.text.Document doc = editor.getDocument();
          kit.read(sr, doc, 0);
          String s = doc.getText(0, doc.getLength());
          System.out.println("sAttachment\n >" + s + "<");
        catch (Exception ex) {
          ex.printStackTrace();
    }and it doesnt return anything i.e. s="". What am doing wrong?

  • Email settings for btconnect accounts

    After searching for days and also contacting blackerry, i have managed myself to get btconnect email working on my playbook, these are the settings for both the old pop3 and new pop.outlook settings (offive 365)
    Old:-
    Description: what ever you want to display (can leave blank if you wish)
    Display Name: again whatever you want (can leave blank if you wish)
    Username: your @btconnect.com email
    Email Address: you own email address if you have one set up, otherwise it is the @btconnect.com
    Password: whatever your password is
    Server: pop3.btconnect.com
    Port: 110
    Use SSL: off
    SMTP Username: remove whatever is displayd and leave blank
    SMTP Passord: again remove whatever is displayed and leave blank
    SMTP Server Address: mail.btconnect.com
    SMTP Port: 25
    SMTP Encryption: Off
    the rest of the options are up to you.
    select save, this will then be set up and fully working.
    New Office 365:-
    The only different setting are:-
    Server Address: pop.outlook.com
    Port: 995
    Use SSL: On
    SMTP Username: your @btconnect.com email address
    SMTP Password: your email password
    SMTP Servers Address: smtp.outlook.com
    Port: 587
    SMTP Encryption: StartTLS
    I have only set up an account still with a @btconnect address, if this does not work try your own email address in the SMTP Username.

    There is no setting to change that, unless you choose to have the second account set to manual for fetching mail. If it is set to manual and the other account, the one you wish to receive the alert for is set to fetch, then it would emulate only receiving the alert for one account. It is a generic alert that sounds when you receive mail.
    While not necessarily what you were looking for, it is a workaround.

  • Sync settings for Domain accounts

    Hello
    We have a close & secured environment and we want to migrate to Windows 8.1.
    one of the nice benefits Windows 8.1 has is the sync settings feature. I would love it if my users inside my corp will be able to login anywhere and get their Desktop, Tiles, Settings etc. no matter where they login from.
    It is somehow overlaps with folder redirection and roaming profiles are there any new policy settings or other settings that use the same sync mechanism as the Microsoft Account+OneDrive on Windows 8.1 for domain accounts only?
    like defining a network share for those settings and force the clients to sync the
    If there isn't, obviously the OneDrive client which is a built-in feature on 8.1 is only a noise in the background
    Thanks

    Hi,
    When you sync your settings with a connected account, the settings are stored in the cloud. So if you want to take the control of everything, Roaming profile and Folder Redirection would still be your choice.

  • Custom TCP/IP Settings for different network connections

    I have about 4-5 different networks I hop onto all the time.
    The problem is my brother will NOT use Auto-configure using DHCP. So, I have to get the settings and put them in everytime, with his static IP, gateway, DNS and the such. Is there a way to save them to that specific connection and whenever my macbook pro sees HIS network will use HIS settings? I mean, it would make sense to be able to custom fit a connection just to his connection.
    So, that when I am on his network I wouldn't have to retype/input his settings because the SSID tells the computer that I am on his network and to use his settings. When I am on different networks it would use the settings appropriate to that network.
    I don't know if that made any sense, respond back if it didn't and I will try to clarify better.

    Add a "Location" for that network configuration.
    System Preferences > Network > Location > Edit Locations
    Then when you want to switch to that network, click on the Apple > Locations and select the Location you set up.
    I have a few locations set up this way and it works well.

  • Problem with system settings for different project.

    Hello, I have something that pauses me a lot of problems. I work on different editing projects with deferent externe Hard Disc. I have 3 of those but on each one I have the video and sound and render...importation for one specific project. The thing is that I want that FC automatically changes the setting to where make the saves and import the new material (video cassettes...). It means if I open a project in disc 1 and import video it does not put it in disc 2 just, disc on witch I worked juste before on an other project. I'll have a lot of off media problems and risks of loosing things...
    What can I do ?
    Thanks for reading !

    YOu have to manually reset the Scratch Disk for each project you open. There is no automated way to do this in FCP at this time.

  • Preferred text setting / font settings for your documentary work?

    Hello All,
    As I have shared before, I do documentary work for my organization (although I'm not a filmmaker by profession).
    Yesterday, I was watching a documentary called, "Waging a Living". It is about people living on the economic margin. The documentary includes many scenes where there is information/text over picture.
    An example would be, "One in four American workers — more than 30 million people — are stuck in jobs that pay less than the federal poverty level for a family of four."
    Or, "Housing costs, to name just one of several essential living expenses, have tripled since 1979, (ii) while real wages for male low-wage workers are actually less than they were 30 years ago."
    I noticed that the text was very easy to read. There was a bit of drop shadow which facilitated reading over anything white.
    I got to thinking that there might be some standard approaches to text over picture that make thing readable.
    Anyone care to share their favorite font, size, opacity, angle, color, softness, etc?
    Thanks.

    Use Trajan as much as possible.
    Wait. No. That's my schtick.
    Never, ever use Trajan.
    All kidding aside, sans serif is good. Slightly quirky sans serifs are better. I like Avenir for this. Avoid Futura unless you're trying to look like Wes Anderson trying to look like Stanley Kubrick. Not that that's always a bad thing.
    Just go ahead and put a drop shadow on all your type. If it's over moving picture, it'll be a zillion times easier to scan. If it's over black, the shadow will be invisible.
    Keep it short. I don't have any science to back this up, only my own subjective experiences. But when I'm watching a show — be it a Youtube video or a feature in the theater — I'm not really reading anything. I'm just scanning. Title cards are not the place to exercise your literary aspirations. Save that for Internet message boards. Ahem.
