E mail message contains no characters( letters, numbers etc)

When I want to read my mail, it appears to be empty. When I fwd it I can read the origional message. Also no appendixes can be read. Solution please

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Mail: "Message contains NUL characters," not listed in ANY folder

On occasion, I will hear a new message sound in Mail, and I will see the little progress indicator showing an incoming message, but there is no trace of it in the inbox. If I am there to see the incoming notice and remember the message content, I can search for the message content in Spotlight and it will open the message. But if I then click "Show in Mailbox," it opens a Mail list window that is empty and labeled "No mailbox." If I try to move the message by dragging its title bar icon, nothing happens. If I try to use the Move command, I get "Append failed: Message contains NUL characters." If I command-click the message title bar, it tells me it's inside the inbox, but again it won't list it in the inbox. The physical message file itself resides in the Inbox folder in the Mail folder on the desktop. Rebuilding the mailbox does not make it appear in the list.
I've found various workarounds for shaking Mail into realizing the message exists and listing it, but my real question is this: The above is when I notice that a message has come in but is not listed. But what about messages that come in and are not listed, and I do not know they are there because I wasn't around when they came in?
How can I use a mail rule or other tool to locate messages that are not listed in any mailbox, or contain NUL characters?
I would really like to know if I've missed any important messages because they never appeared in the list, even though they exist somewhere.
Mail will not allow me to set up a mail rule on folders when no folder is specified.

One thing I can suggest you try is to move the Envelope Index files from your User Library>Mail Folder>MailData.
Quit Mail first, navigate to those files and move them to the desktop. Restart Mail. It should give a message that you need to Import your mail. Click continue. That should reindex all your mail messages.
This should help with wrong message counts, ghost messages, and hidden message problems.
Once Mail is running and OK, you can trash those files.

Support forum message error: "The message contains invalid characters."

when i try to post a crash report in a forum thread i created, i get the following message:
"The message contains invalid characters."
is this a forum bug? are there such things as invalid characters???

This MAY be totally unrelated - but maybe not.
The SiteWare is particular about some characters under some circumstances. I have not been alerted like you were, but I have seen this when posting screenshots Using an add-on to my browser that put's the "Title" of the page grabbed into the filename it saves...
All ASC pages have
" ... | Apple Support Communities " at the end of the title
the " | " (vertical 'stroke') is an illegal character in a filename for POSTING to the server - and there are others
* the file " ASC | ASC.png " is the same image as the 1st picture I posted - I just changed the name to illustrate
What is good for the Finder may not be good for the server or the software running these forums.

Problem with OS X Mail Messages Containing Attachments

Hello,
Often times when I send or receive emails with attachments, I receive the emails without the attachment(s) and in the case I sent an email, it shows in my sent folder without the attachment(s) and with the following format:
--Apple-Mail=_60D4EE3F-616C-4B7F-B699-323181908B0D
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
boundary="Apple-Mail=_35CDDC95-987C-4EDA-A4EC-C432FEE18F21"
--Apple-Mail=_35CDDC95-987C-4EDA-A4EC-C432FEE18F21
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/html;
charset=us-ascii
<html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html =
charset=3Dus-ascii"></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; =
-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi =
Imram,<div><br></div><div>, etc, etc.
In either case the message retains the size of the attachment. For instance, if the attachment is 10 MB, then that weird text goes for hundreds of pages to make up that 10 MB size.
This problem is starting to become more frequent.
Please help.
I am using OS X 10.8.3 (12D78) on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina - Mid 2012.
Thank you,
A

Step 1
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
If the problem isn't solved, continue.
Step 2
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Attachments present in an E mail message do not appear when printing

I was trying to print an E mail message containing an attachment which was needed to be shown, but only space is seen instead of the attachment. It is also not shown in the print preview. It is like Firefox doesn't read the attachment. Everything else is printed just fine.

I too have this issue, I don't have this issue in IE. I am using firefox 5.0

Batch save Mail messages as PDF's

I am in need of saving all of my email messages in my inbox as individual PDF documents. I know you can do it one at a time via "Print>save as PDF" but we are talking about a few hundred email messages here.
Is there anyway to take advantage of something like automator or could someone show me some software to batch save all of these messages?
Thanks so much for the help.

In Mail, select all the messages to print (a smart mailbox may help). When all are selected do a file > save as (RTF or plain text). This will create one printable file with all the messages. You can then load this file into TextEdit and print it as a PDF.
Thanks -- this may be what I go with. However, when I tried this the rtf file did contain all of the messages, but did not show the header information on each (To:, From:, Date: ...), so I continued my search for a solution. I think I found something that works. My project is actually larger than what I described. Interested people may be able to use some or all of the following.
The project started when I asked a friend to send me all of the emails that I have sent him over the last 15 years. He had archived them all in Windows / Outlook Express. I had not archived them. He was able to give me a .DBX file containing them all. I used a free program called DbxConv in Windows to convert the .DBX file to a .MBX file.
In Apple Mail I did File/Import_Mailboxes/File_In_mbox_Format to import them. Then, View/Organize_by_Conversation (checked on). Select all messages and File/Print/PDF/Save_As_PDF into a new folder on the desktop. This will generate many pdfs.
Now the new part:
Next, drag all of the PDFs into Preview. Finally, in Preview, File/Print/PDF/Save_As_PDF. This will create a single pdf file with all messages, including imbedded attachments, with info displayed in your current Apple Mail format -- dependent on how you like your Apple Mail messages displayed (minimal header, expanded header, etc.) . . . . . I think!
At least it worked for me, once. I try it again and see what develops.

Why does pages 09 keep opening a new mail message

I'm using pages 09 now (was using 08; tried the new 5.0 but it is useless based on backward compatability)
When I click on a name in a document it immediately opens a new email message with To as the contact I clicked on. I've tried turning off all the auto complete, etc I can find but it still happens.
Specifically,
if I go to the footer, the next time I land on a name in the body of the document it opens up a new email.
Once I close the mail message I can continue typing, editing etc.; but the moment I go to the footer and then return to the text box it jumps to a new mail message when I click on a name.
How do I turn this off?
George O.

More on this and a correction-
there is a part of this document outined in blue- whenever I go into this part from the footer it initiates an email to me; it doesn't matter where I click. My earlier question said when I click on a name this happens; but actually anywhere in the outlined area.
some of the document does not have thin blue outlines; when I go there I'm ok- no new email.
so, what are the blue lines about?
and why does it send me an email when I move into the outlined area?
thanks for any help !
george

Lion Mail - forwarded messages contain verbose header data

Anyone know why forwarded messages contain all of this kind of information from the forwarded message? I understand this kind of info is in every email message but usually it is hidden. At least it seems to be in relpys.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
For example:

Do you mean they get sent as headers, or are they part of the message body when they arrive? It will append whatever headers are currently displayed.
Also, it's not a good idea to post your email on a public bulletin board like this unless you enjoy getting a lot of spam.

Mail Will Not Send a Message Containing a Particular URL

This seems strange to me. I have been trying to send the following URL in the body of a Mail message and Mail keeps telling me it cannot be delivered. I've tried sending the same URL in the body of a message in Yahoo webmail and it will not send either.
http://tornadovideos.decadehost.com/index.cfm/do/s.home
I can send and receive out of both accounts just fine except for trying to send this one particular URL that I have copied and pasted into the body of my e-mail messages. The website deals with storm chasing and has some great tornado footage on it. Interestingly, the name of the website is tornadovideos.net, but is becomes the above when actually visiting the site.
This is most strange to me.
Thanks,
Steve M.

Thanks both of you for replying. This is the message I get from Mail.app immediately after clicking Send. This message appears as a little drop down box that comes down from the top bar of the e-mail containing the link in question. And the intended recipient is me. So I'm trying to send it from myself, to myself all within my Charter cable POP e-mail account.:
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending the message content to the server failed."
In the case of my Yahoo webmail account, I get a mail daemon message back to my Yahoo account a few seconds after trying to send an e-mail to my Charter POP account containing the tornado video link. This is a unique behavior with this particular URL, it is repeatable, and it happens with no other URL.
Regards,
Steve M.

Error message: Package contains invalid characters installing patchlevel 6

Dear experts:
I have successfullly installed SAP GUI 7.20 compilation 2, using SAP installation server (40 machines, Windows XP sp3 32 bits, latest updates).
I have successfully installed patchlevel 6 in the SAP installation server. (gui720_6-10007878.exe, downloaded from SAP Portal)
SAP GUI is configured to search for updates after 5 double-clicks on desktop icon. I forced the 5 double-clicks on a test machine and the patch begins to install; then informs me that there is a pending reboot.
When I reboot the machine a SAP Netweaver Front-end installer window appears with the error: "/Package contains invalid characters like /*?"<>\" - "Your system has a pending reboot". If I reboot again the message is displayed again.
If I click on the "Cancel" button of this window, Windows XP continues booting and SAP GUI works fine.
Two questions:
How can I avoid the installation of this patch on all the machines?
What can be wrong?
Thank you very much.
Mr.Clinker
Uruguay - South America.

1.) To avoid the installation on all clients simply go to "Services -> Configure Automatic Workstation Update Service" in the SAP Installation Server Administration Tool and disbale the service. If this doesnt work you can delete the package on the installation server an create a new one with the same name. You can than patch the package to the patchlevel you want.
2.) Try to apply patch 6 Hotfix 2 and see if the problem remains.

Yosemite Mail - What happned to the mail message numbers???

I just upgraded to Yosemite. I noticed in the mail pane that I can no longer customize mail to list numbers next to the mail messages. I like to know how many I have in my mailbox. Any workarounds?
Thanks -

To explain further, I right clicked on the message bar and these are the options I get for my messages. Notice there is not an option for "number"

Any way to place hot link to e-mail message in a Numbers doc?

Is there a way to include text in a cell that links directly to a saved e-mail message, similar to the way an e-mail address can be a hot link to a new message?

Jerry: This question is related to my other recent one about a client management template. I have a lot of e-mail contact with potential buyers, and want to keep track of my contacts with them over time. I can go to Mail ands find the message threads, but just wondered if there was a way to keep simple records of my clients and my interactions with them.
I am working to create a Numbers doc that incorporates clients' names and contact info (easy enough) and I want it to show when I contacted them, and link to the e-mails I have exchanged with each one. Maybe that last part isn't possible. I have looked at client management apps, but all seem way more complex and feature-laden than I need. Just trying to find (or create) a lean method of keeping track of client contacts.

Anyone has any clue about this error?

Hi.
This I have seen before...
It can be that the SMTP relay server is configured to only allow certain IP ranges or addresses.
It can be that the firewall on the SP server does not allow for SMTP traffic (normally 25, for example for Exchange).
It can be that there is an Antivirus on the SP server(Client AV) that prohobits the Timer service to send email from this server. I have seen MacAfee do this. Needed an policy change.
If, its the builtin SMTP service you are using, check this link:
http://blog.sharepointrx.com/2010/11/18/setting-up-the-iis-smtp-server-for-sending-email-from-sharepoint-2010-on-server-2008-r2/
Check that and try again.

Html Email containing unicode characters [10 Duke Dollars]

Want to be able to send a html email converted from a Word document, i.e. one that contains special characters. I was having a problem trying to send a specific combination of characters:
String html = "<html><head></head><body>\n<p>\u0093hello\u0094</p>\n" +
            "customers and offers a wide range of financial products across lending (e.g.\n" +
            "THIS LINE DOESN'T APPEAR!!!.\n" +
            "</body></html>";I find everything after the everything after the "(e.g" is not sent to my email! Why is this? I'd be grateful if anyone could send me some code to send this html string. Here's some code I tried:
        Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
        msg.setSubject ("\u201cHow\u201d now, brown\u2026. Cow!");
        MimeBodyPart htmlPart = new MimeBodyPart ();
        htmlPart.setContent(html, "text/html");
        // create and fill the second message part
        MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
        mbp2.setContent ("alternative", "text/plain");
        Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
        mp.addBodyPart(htmlPart);
        mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
        msg.setContent (mp);

I have tested your string this code solves your problem:
public static void sendMail(String from, String to, String subject, String message, String files) throws javax.mail.MessagingException, javax.mail.internet.AddressException{
// create the session.
Session session = createSession();
// create a message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
InternetAddress fromAddress = new InternetAddress(from);
msg.setFrom(fromAddress);
InternetAddress[] toAddresses = InternetAddress.parse(to);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddresses);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
// message part
BodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(message);
mbp1.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(sb.toString(), "text/html"));
// construct multipart message
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
// file attachments
//for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++){
DataSource fds = new FileDataSource(files);
mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp1.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fds));
mbp1.setFileName(fds.getName());
mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
msg.setContent(mp);
Transport.send(msg);
