Edit email message

I repeatedly searched for an Apple Mail forum and got no results. Very annoying. I wish Apple didn't mess up their help forums with this new design. Sorry if I'm posting this to the wrong place. My question:
How do I edit a message sent to me? I have a client message. However, I need to put the project number in the subject field.
Thanks.

Hi Eric, they did mess up the new forums, but searching anything at Apple has been for years, much like searching for Fish in the Sahara Desert.

Edit Email Messages in Mail.app

Does anyone know a way to edit an email message already received in mail.app? I found this to be a useful feature of Eudora and even Outlook, but it doesn't seem to be in Mail.app.
Thanks for any help. - M.

Thanks for the replies. But that link does not solve the problem: it just provides workarounds.
I would like to know if there is any way to edit a message that has been received in my mail.app program.
As for any legal issues, I find them to be not very compelling. Although it is true that courts now admit emails into evidence as if they were any other document, that does not suggest that they should not be modifiable. That courts admit such electronic documents into evidence certainly imposes no burden on me, the email receiver, to maintain the email's original format. Moreover, there is nothing improper about making programs or add-ons that facilitate the making of such changes in emails unless and until Congress decides to take up the issue and make it a crime to modify received emails.
Since that has not happened, and is unlikely to in the near future, I would still love it if someone could provide either instructions or some mail.app extension that allows one to edit received emails.
Thanks for any help! - M.

Using MS Word to edit email messages! Is this even possible?

I know this may sound a little weird, but I am a newer user of Macs and Mail. I was curious if there is a way to use my version of Word for Macs to edit my email messages. I liked using this feature with Outlook, but I have not figured out how to accomplish this with Mail.
I want more than just Mail underlining my word if I mispelled it. I want it to auto correct or something. I would like Mail to also automatically capitalize the first word in a sentence if I fail to or miss it. I don't even know how to get bullet points to appear within email messages. I miss this feature with Mail, can someone help?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Sure, just open up a new document from within MS Word and when you are ready, copy and paste the text into the body of an email message and send it. This takes about two seconds to do: Command-A to select all the text, then Command-C to copy, then Command-V to paste.
As far as I know, there is no option to set up a different editor in Apple's Mail.app program; however, that option might be available in Entourage which comes with Microsoft Office 2004 for the Mac.

How to edit email message suject line?

I am wondering how to edit the incoming email's suject line with javamail api?
and which api defines the subject line of an email?
regards
Gaz

The simple answer is "you can't".
Mail servers don't allow you to change messages.
What you can do is make a copy of the message and change the copy.
Of course, the copy won't be stored anywhere permanently so if you want
to keep it you'll need to store it in a folder yourself.
In your second question are you asking about the getSubject method?
Since that's such an obvious answer to your question I'm sure you would've
found that yourself so I'm assuming you're asking something else, but I don't
understand what.

Edits to To Dos associated with email messages don't persist

Here are the steps to replicate this problem within Apple Mail (the latest version - 4.3 on OS X 10.6.4):
1) Select some text in an email message, and click the to do button in the toolbar to turn it into a to do. This to do now appears in the list of to dos visible when you click 'To Do' under 'Reminders' in Mail's left hand sidebar.
2) Return to the email message, and edit the to do visible at its top. The to do text has changed when you view it via the email message, but if you again look at the list of to dos via Mail's left hand sidebar it has not - only the original to do text is visible. And if you then return to the email message, the do has returned to its original text.
Any help/pointers for investigation much appreciated

Sorry no help just noting that I have excately the same problem. However I am still on Leopard with Mail V3.6. I suspect one of the recent "security" updates screwed the way how Todo notes are shared with Mail and Ical...
I can also edit the Todo message with Ical and the changed text appears instantly in Mail. Just editing within a mail-message with the little yellow box above is not working. However I can change priority and due-dates but not the text....
weird stuff.... anyone has an idea? Thanks. Emilia

Editing problems due to DIVs in formatted email messages?

Mail.app 5.3 (1283) on MacOS 10.7.5
I have problems editing some incoming emails due, I theorize, to DIV sections inserted by some email clients. When I reply to these messages, it is difficult or impossible to open vertical space to insert interspersed reply text.
Question 1:   Anyone else experience this problem?
Sometimes --but not reliably-- the DIV sections are represented in message editing by mail.app with rectangular boxes. But I've delayed posting because I couldn't reliably produce examples.
Finally, I blundered into a repeatable method of producing these boxes, when pasting some material from a reference web site into a message I was composing in mail.app. The details are unimportant. Here are examples of the rectangles, on the top unselected, and on the bottom in the selected condition:
Question 2: Anyone else see these?
Question 3: What is mail.app telling us by displaying these rectangles?   Why does this whatever-it-is deserve its own close box?
IOW: Is there any documentation to be found of this unusual, perhaps unique notation?
I sent this message to myself and viewed its contents using View --> Message --> Raw Source. In the formatted (HTML) portion, I found some DIV sections more or less corresponding to the rectangles seen in the graphic.
Question 4: Besides viewing Raw Source in an incoming message, is there any other support in mail.app (or an add-on) to make such formatting visible?
I have problems responding to some incoming formatted messages containing more or less routine text from non-technical people. I haven't been systematic about collecting data, but: examining the HTML source of the most problematic message to date reveals the only formatting other than simple text styling:   all the body text in in one DIV section or another.    In this particular case, I had no choice but to top-post.
In most cases when I have trouble editing response messages, these boxes show up -- but only in the selected condition; they are invisible when unselected. In this most-problematic case, strangely, I have been unable to persuade mail.app to display the rectangles. So, perhaps visibility of the boxes signal the presence of DIVs plus additional tags.
I'm guessing that some email clients insert DIVs and other non-font-styling tags in formatted messages ... for whatever reason.   I've heard that email standards are ... loose.
Question 4: Does mail.app (or an add-on) support removing or somehow taming (removing?) these DIVs?
I can't think of a remotely feasible way of solving this problem myself. The View --> Message --> Raw Source window is not editable. Certainly the content could copied and pasted into a text editor, for modification --which might be semi- or completely automated, with luck-- but I can't see any practical way of inserting the results back into the email. Sniff the raw messages in mail.app's own storage? I don't think so.
Question 5: Other approaches?
TIA

Without knowing what it said exactly on your order confirmation documents, in general what the BT staff told you was actually correct as that has always been part of the terms for the free BT Sport pack. It has been a topic of heated discussion several times on the BT TV forums since the BT Sport offer was announced last May. You are starting a new 12 month minimum term for your existing deal and any existing broadband discounts will still end on the original planned date, so you will have to pay full price for the remainder of the new minimum term (unless you negotiate a new deal and start yet another new 12 month minimum term).
This is what it said in the BT Sport bit of my order from May 2013
Your BT broadband contract
If you've recontracted your broadband to get BT Sport at the discounted rate, any special offers for broadband that you currently receive will continue on the same terms you originally agreed to. If you have a special offer that runs for a set period of time, that will end on the date you originally agreed. The basic price of your BT broadband will remain unchanged and this is what you'll pay once any special offer ends.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it, just pointing out that it was always part of the terms that people signed up to. You've done well if you managed to get it overturned.

Edit Submitted Email Messages

I've seen other people post this question, but cannot find an answer. When a user completes and submits a form created in LiveCycle and distributed as a saved file (as opposed through Adobe) an email is generated that has the completed form attached and the following in the body of the email:
Instructions to add this form to a responses file:
1. Double-click the attachment.
2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.
THE PERSON FILLING OUT THE FORM DOESN'T NEED TO SEE THIS! How can the body of the message be changed to read something like, "Thank you for accepting my information, I look forward to seeing the results." or ANYTHING but the above, which is just confusing to the person completing the form??
Thanks - I have spent a couple of hours researching this and can find no answer.
TK

Thanks, Jasmin:
I am using a Regular Button, Control Type = Submit. I am distributing the form manually, by saving the form, emailing to the user who fills it out and hits the submit button. When they do, an email is generated in their Outbox that has the offending message in the body of the email. I want to have a different email message in the body of the user's email.

How to edit email preferences in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I have adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
I would like to edit my email preferences so that when I create an email with the PDF as an attachment the name of the file will automatically also be the subject line of the email.
according to the help instructions, I should find this by: " open the Preferences dialog box, and under Categories, select Email Accounts."
In my version, "Email Accounts" does not appear in the categories list.
Where do I go to edit email preferences?

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

ORA-20001: Maximum number of email messages per workspace exceeded

Greetings. We are running APEX 4.1.1. I have an application where we have to send out email messages to a list of emails. Currently there are 2469 email addresses. Originally we put the email addresses in the BCC but we received an error that we had exceeded the size limit of the BCC. So we modified our procedure to send one email at a time, in a loop.
Now we are receiving the following error message:
"ORA-20001: You have exceeded the maximum number of email messages per workspace"
Has anyone else run into this issue? What is maximum number or email messages per workspace? Is it a limit per day, per session?
We have not added emails to this table since last year, so the maximum number of email messages allowed may have changed recently?
I did find this Forum post that addressed the issue but no one responded:
How many mails i can send at a time per day using APEX mail system?
Thanks,
John

Hi jfosteroracle,
You are getting the error may be the following reason,
Check the following,
Login as ADMIN and Goto -->Manage Instance-->Instance Settings--> Mail-->Maximum Emails per workspace
Actually this number denotes the Number of mails can be sent per 24 hour for the workspace,It may exceeded.
It may be the reason.
Thank you.
Regards,

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox at once?

Is there a way to delete all my email messages in my inbox in one move, rather than selecting one at a time, then deleting?

You CAN delete all your email. Here's how: >> Open Inbox >> Edit >> Check/select the top message; it will highlight the move button. >> Press and hold the move button and uncheck the message that you had checked earlier. >> Lift all your fingers off from the ipad screen and leave it alone. Wait until all your messages pile up on the right hand portion of the screen (in ipad); iphone will give you the actual number of emails it has selected for the action. Now they are just waiting for your command to be moved ALL at once. >> Choose trash to delete all of them or any other folder where u want to move them, like one piece. Remember this will replicate your action on the server so you will ACTUALLY move them or delete them on the server and not just the ipad. Once you have moved all messages to the trash you can either leave them there for the scheduled cleaning or empty it right away by doing this: go to trash folder and touch Edit. The Delete All button shows up at the bottom of the screen. Hit it! You’re done! If you do not see the effects of your actions on the server make sure you have enabled your email accounts for such actions.

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

How do I delete all email messages in just one touch (delete all feature)?

Does anyone know how to perform a "delete all" in order to delete all email messages rather than going through each message one at a time to move from the inbox to the trash folder, then delete from the trash folder permanently? Currently, we seem to be able to only select one message at a time, rather than perform "Delete All".
I read in a forum post about the "Delete All" button being available only when pressing Edit in the Trash folder. Could someone please provide the sequence of steps to successfully delete all messages in one step? Thanks.
John Bottiger

It is not possible other than as described by yourself - singly to the Trash folder and then collectively from there if you so wish.
