Display apostropes in Apple Mail
How do I set Mail so that apostrophes display properly.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I checked under View>Nessage>Raw Source: Content-Type: text/html;
charset="UTF-8"
When I changed the setting to UTF-8, it still didn't work, nor did it work with any of the other settings. It is not a question of corrupted fonts. This problem occurs on my brand new MacBook Pro at home and on the Intel iMac in my office. The former is on OS X 10.6.2 the latter on OS X 10.5.8.
I checked the same e-mail on Entourage where it had the same problem. In other e-mails the apostrophe displays correctly which leads me to the conclusion that MacWorld has a problem encoding its messages properly.
Thanks for all the responses to to this question.

How do I get gmail to display correctly in Apple Mail?
We sync our Google email to Apple's Mail app on the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The mail does not display correctly, the text keeps going and cuts off so you have to swipe to the right to reveal the rest of the message. We are syncing gmail through IMAP. Does anyone know how to get Gmail to display correctly with Apple Mail?
Same here. I'm using office 2013. It is hard to believe, That there is still no solution for that problem. Parallels desktop and office 2013 lets you dictate, Though there is still no way to get the new line or new paragraph
command to get to work in word or outlook. Do you think this isn't a apple issue or a Microsoft issue? On Windows in the ordinary editor the commands work well.
I actually changed to mac for this killerfeature and i really need it. Now it does not work in the most common office app.. -
Message display error in Apple Mail
Hi There,
I bought a new Macbook Pro the other day, and synced all my email accounts to Apple Mail. Since then, I have noticed an intermittent error in some messages. Where there is usually text, such as the message body, or the sender's email address, I see a row of blocks with the letter A inside them. This has only been happening in the new Mac. In my old one, I used Apple Mail with the same accounts and never saw this issue.
Has anybody seen this error before? I think it's just mail from my Gmail account, but I might be wrong.

Apple Mail in 10.6.8 not displaying attachments
I am unable to get consistent results on displaying attachments from Apple Mail on 10.6.8 with Exchange Server 2007 SP3 RU4. Attachments sent from an Outlook 2007 client on the same exchange server are not displayed in Apple Mail. The message shows no sign of an attachment. The problem with this issue, is it is not consistant. If I forward the e-mail message from my iPhone to myself, I get the attachment in Mail. It shows up in my iPhone correctly. I am connected to Exchange in Mail via the standard EWS (Exchange Web Services). The original message doesn't show any attachment in Mail. But after 20 or so minutes, the attachement show in the message body, but not in the header up top. Just driving me crazy. Is there anyone that can point me in a direction on who to contact on this issue to find out how it can be fixed?
Thanks,
NateI'm having the same problem and it is driving me crazy. My main email account at work is on an Exchange 2007 server. When I send emails with attachments (using Mail 4.5), I get people replying telling me that I haven't included the attachments. However, I know I have as the attachments appear in the Sent Items and I have also tested it by sending blind copies to a Gmail account and they turn up there even when the recipient is telling me that they cannot see the attachment. Even worse, people send me emails with attachments and the attachments either just do not appear at all or they appear intermittently. Whatever the problem, this really isn't good enough - how can I work with such unreliability. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for how to fix or work around this I'd be very grateful!

Apple mail attachment encoding problem
I'm having the problem lately that either attachments aren't being decoded properly and the source is displayed in the email or that the entire email is being displayed like this:

We have the same problems with UTF-8 encoded mails. If I select the Inbox, then select Mailbox -> Rebuild it fixes it, but I need a better solution to fix this. Several others are having the same problem and it seems to be happenning intermittently.
Anyone have any suggestions?

This clients use presumably Outlook 2007. It's not your or Apple Mail's fault, it's a known bug in Outlook 2007 and there is also a Microsoft Help and Support Article from April 2007 about that issue.

A workaround is also described there.
A simple ad hoc solution is to ZIP the pictures before attaching to mail

Apple Mail randomly decided to delete my email accounts on restart!
Hey Folks,
A few days ago I did the apple updater thing, and I had restarted my computer since then with no problems! Now all of a sudden all my email accounts along with the emails that were displaying in my Apple Mail app are all gone. Here's a snapshot, i"m also on apple mail 3.2

However, I checked the library files and all my accounts are still in there. Have a look.

Now, here's a question, how do I turn everything the way it was. I even had signatures for my email accounts, what do I do with those?

Apple Mail software - email is not displaying in folder
I kept thinking it was something I was doing wrong (and it may still be!).
I have Apple mail (my own domain, not Google's email system)...and my folders are kept in the cloud (Apple's cloud).
Ever since I went to Mavericks when I try and browse through my folders the emails are listed there but clicking on an email does not display its contents. It is a blank screen. My in-box is always fine. But my folders I sort mail into… a list with blank for the individual email's contents.
I read through the forums and the best I could find was that the email folder needed to be rebuilt. But doing so only worked temporarily. If I quit my email and go back in, same problem. And it's also really, really slow in displaying the list.
Very odd.
><({(º>Figured it out...
Turned out iCloud does not like odd characters in the front of folders.
I had Tildes in front of special folders and folders with older projects and clients.
Once I removed the Tilde everything got a lot better. -
How can I set up Apple Mail to display the sender's "from icon" in the header info?
Hi,
I have gone into the preferences to set up custom headers, so that the icon sent to me from the email sender will display in the header, but do not see an option for this. I want to do this for Comcast as a source specifically, as they embed an icon in their official emails and I have been receiving phishing emails from sender pretending to be Comcast. Comcast states on their website, that you can see their icon in any mail they send, however, this does not happen on my version of Apple Mail (4.5).
Here is an image of the info shown on the Comcast website, in case that helps to clarify my question.
Thanks,
KimOn the Internet Accounts System prefs choose Add Other account…
Pick Mail account.
On the first page where you enter username and password, hold down the Option key and the Create button will change to Next. Click that with Option held down.
You can then manually create the account. -

OS X Mountain Lion - Apple mail not displaying images
Ever since upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, Apple Mail no longer displays images in emails. I have downloaded and installed the latest Java RTE [it was out of date] - that didn't fix it. I have tried to reset my Java preferences to their defaults - that didn't fix it.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If so, have you found a solution?
Thanks in advance!I have exactly the same problem although its not for every email. My email provider is gmail. If I forward an email to someone else, they have no problem viewing the images. Very annoying. Checked with my gmail account and these are not classed as spam.

Apple Mail with defunct smtp trying to display 800 alerts or so
Apple Mail, after upgrading to Maverick, now tries to display > 800 alerts for automatic mail forwards that it apparently now cannot send because of some issue I probably have to troubleshoot. It deadlocks to that behavior, too, so each time I force quit out and try to re-open is like rewind/ play.
The problem must be that Apple Mail seems to have an entirely un-interruptable sequence of actions that the user has entirely no control over whatsoever. It first will open the mail and mailboxes. And even though I can try to be fast and change settings to "try to send later" instead of "present list with SMTP options", the step of " trying to understand what user means by changing that setting" has not been programmed yet.
So with great irreverence, I can do whatever I want and Apple Mail will always end up trying to pull up >800 single little alert windows telling me the most obvious, which is, that it cannot send a message, .
It would have been enough to present exactly one error saying "cannot send >800 message". Or to start with a preferences dialog without going into uninterruptable auto gah gah.
Where would I find a text file with Apple Mail preferences that I can edit to change the behavior of the program? Deleting ~ / Library / Mail / ... / Drafts did not cause any effect as all drafts and subsequent errors remained there stubbornly but reliably.Apple Mail crashes when I try to print after installing Mavericks...

How can I always display duplicate email messages in Apple Mail?
I would like to have Apple Mail ALWAYS display "duplicate" messages without having to click on the duplicates link in the upper right of the message.
Apple Mail identified a series of messages as "duplicates" when in fact they were not duplicates. I would have otherwise missed out on very important information and the only reason I even knew to look for this was because I saw them on my iPhone. I want to avoid this issue in the future.Comfortable with terminal...know how to edit using TextEdit:
Open up a Terminal and use the following commands to change your Mail.app preferences file to an XML format – the default format is binary, and you can't edit this.
cd ~/Library/Preferences
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.mail.plist
Then, open this file com.apple.mail.plist with a text editor of your choice, preferably one that highlights XML syntax, but you can also use TextEdit:
open -a "TextEdit" com.apple.mail.plist
Now, look for the key called MailAccounts. It's value is an array, with dict children. Here, you'll find all your mail accounts in the order they were created in.
You can now manually move these dict children around. Save the XML file and reopen Mail. Now, your Mail account order will be changed. -
Apple mail not displaying properly
My first time in this forum. Hopefully, you can help. I am having a problem in Apple Mail in Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3.
Some e-mails from the same sender appear fine with images and links properly displayed, yet other times I only see text with underlined links. For example, I receive promotional e-mails from Land's End (a retailer in the U.S.) with images of the items. Some e-mails display perfectly and others are as below in the cut and paste. (I have noticed the problem frequently with Google news alerts.)
Any idea of what settings I should change? I am very confused because some mails arrive fine, and others are like below.
P.S. I am a new user of iMac, so please be patient if I do not understand well your instructions.

UUCXCZUTWWTThanks for your suggestion. I do not think your proposed solution will work for me.
1) In my desperation, I erased my hard drive and even reformatted it (with the help of Apple Care). I then opened Apple Mail with a completely clear hard drive and system. The problem still occurred. For that reason, I do not think it is the INBOX.mbox file that caused the problem.
2) My iMac that is less than a month old is now in the repair shop. It apparently has a faulty logic board and USB port. Hopefully, the Apple Mail will work after those parts are replaced. -
Apple mail strips text when displaying an incoming email
I receive emails associated with a club I belong to from an email reflector. Club members send emails to the reflector and the reflector resends the email to each club member including me of course
This works fine so long as the email to (and from) the reflector contains either only text or only an attachment (as in a photograph). However if the distributed email contains both text and a photo Apple Mail is unwilling to display the text ... only the photograph appears. Which as you might well imagine is rather annoying.
So how do I know that the email is displayed with the accompanying text stripped away? Well if I look at the raw source (View --> Message --> Raw Source) I see the following:
--001a11c249488ce20604f4d3bcb6

I changed the text to protect the identify of the sender. In Apple Mail all I see is the picture (IMG_0918.JPG) and all the text that goes with it is missing.
From what I can tell from comments on the reflector, some other email clients exhibit the same problem (they also strip the text) while others do not. So maybe the email is not being formatting properly by the reflector. That could be. But files on the web have mal-formed HTML all the time, yet browsers deal with the mal-formed HTML without stripping the text away as seems to be the case here.
It seems to be that Apple Mail sould be able to display the text which in contained in the raw source.
Any solution (other that looking at these email in raw source to read thei missing textual contentt)? If an Apple employee is reading this maybe you could pass this along to whoever is prosponsible for keeping track of Apple Mail bugs.
Thanks.I design and code a lot of HTML emails, and plain text remains an important feature for many clients.
This seems to be a recent change to Mac Mail. Previously, there was an option under View --> Message to show the plain text alternative.
