Email message field is blank, but message body has text
I have a client that likes to see the message text appear in the message window via the "Message Field Column" rather than use a preview pane. When this is done there are some messages that have text in the body of the email, but display no text
in the message Field. I have expanded out the field to see if I can find any characters hidden, but this is not the case.
What could be causing this problem. I have tried to find blogs that explain how the message window works in outlook but have yet to find anything.
Hi,
I've noticed such issue happen to some emails in my mailbox, when I open the problematic emails, I found that those emails are composed with images and the text within it is not editable. Please try open one problematic email and click
Actions under Message tab > Edit Message, check if you can delete the text within the message body.
In addition, if any characters are hidden, you will see the Message column shows ellipsis dots like this:
If you hover your mouse over blank column, you'll see the message body. Please check if this is the case and let me know the result.

Steve Fan

TS4002 iCloud emails message body showing blank in Mac mail.
The content of emails (message body) is sometimes blank in Mac mail but visible on both my iPhone and iCloud. I can't seem to find a fix?
Strange that this is such an old thread - seems like the problem has popped up again here.
-
iCloud asked me to reenter my password to get mail and when I did, it rejected my password. I'm trying to reenter in mail account information, but it won't let me because the incoming mail server field is blank, but I can't enter anything into that field.
No, didn't have to sign out. As I started to, got a messge saying something about losing all my calendar information, which unnerved me so I didn't sign out. It was correcting the password in another email account that corrected the situation for me.

I have been having to change my email messages to plain text alternative in order to read the font. Can I change the default somewhere?
Maybe I need to try a different route. I was able to change the font settings for the general mail. I am now thinking it is a problem with Safari or the internet browser. I am seeing the bubble font only on messages that contain pictures ~ When I click to view the full message in the browser, the font changes to a readable font.

Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????
Are you trying to set up your own iDevice and that is why you want your own Apple ID?
Do you realize that any content that you have already purchased using her ID will still have to be used if you want to update apps or download purchases again for free? ITunes and App Store content is tied to the ID used to make the purchase. Furthermore, if you use her ID to download a purchased app for free on your own device, you can lock yourself out of your ID for 90 days.
Back to the question at hand .... Did she use your email address as the rescue email address for her Apple ID? -
Is it possible to exclude .PDF file from Email Message body ?
Hello Friends,
I am sending e-mail from one program with attachment of EXCEL file.
I am using following function SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
I am getting body of the message as a separate .PDF file.
Even I want in real message body.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

NVM
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Dec 28, 2007 7:47 AMNB - the "data" that is returned by these classes is the data as defined in an adobe form - it doesn't return the content of non-form PDF documents.
The PDF must be an interactive form ( although that doesn't restrict you to using the SAP process for creating the form is my understanding - but I could be wrong. )
Edit - I was wrong! ONLY PDF documents that have been created by the ADS can have data extracted using these classes. So unless you are using Adobe interactive forms - then you will get no value from this functionality - and if you're using AIF then you're probably just use the standard UI element

Since 10.5.6 upgrade, email messages are garbled text
Hi,
This problem seems to have started with the latest upgrade. My email messages are coming in with garbled text. This happens in my Yahoo account where I will go to the mail website and the text there will be fine. It's only in the mail program.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.Hi,
I have the same issue.
Although the mails seems to have been downloaded correctly parts of the parts of the message mime information is displayed as part of the mail body.
The only thing that helps is to rebuild the index of the specific mailbox (inbox in my case).
BTW: Mail of iPhone OS does NOT have this problem. Generally it handles mails MUCH better than the real OS X. Strange, isn't it. -
Email message body won't display in mail application
I use an iPhone 4S, and when I go to view my emails in the apple mail app, I can see the preview of the message. However, when I tap on a message to open it, my phone does not display the body of the message anymore, only the subject and the sender line. My phone worked fine before and this issue began a few days ago. Any suggestions to resolve this problem? Thank you.
Thanks for your quick answer,
And sorry, I should have said that before:
It started on the external display and actually the very first time I could still see the message content, it went blank only when I clicked on the "see more from..." hyperlink to unravel the message's full content. Then it started happening to the message as a whole and just by selecting a message to view it. Also, it happens on both the external and laptop displays, on the laptop display both when external display is connected or not, after successive restarts and shutdowns.
I hope this gives you a better idea, but do get back to me if you need more inf.
Thanks again,
Ben. -
Cannot read email message body in Mail
Hello Pholks,
I'm running iBook G4 w/ OS 10.4.8. Upon starting my computer and Mail this morning, I have the following very strange problem - similar to one other who has posted today:
I can see messages in my Inbox. I can see sender, subject, date sent, etc...
However, when I highlight the message, the only thing that appears in the message windo is the header info (From: Subject: Date: To:) The body of the message is not visible. This is true for some of the messages in my Inbox, but not all. Some are old, some are new today.
Further: I also see this behavior in my archived messages. Picking a random mailbox on my hard drive, some message bodies are visible, others not. It appears to be random; I can't find any common link between the messages that aren't visible.
Further: If I use Entourage, I don't have this problem; that is, the message bodies that aren't visible in Mail are visible in Entourage.
Further: If I go onto my hard drive to the Inbox folder and select a .mbox folder and look at the messages, some have visible bodies, some not.
This appears to be a problem specific to Mail. Please help - many of my archived emails are no longer accessible to me.
Further: I've done two things that may have played a role. (1) I downloaded and installed software updates for iChat and the new Security update last night; (2) I've just added an external HD for backup. I tried to run a simple backup script last night, which resulted in the iBook HD chugging for quite some time, but never did put the data on the external HD. I've run "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility, but to no avail.
HELP.....Thanks very much. It's turned out to be a font problem. About 30 of the fonts in my account directory /users/me/library/fonts folder were corrupted. They were somehow being viewed as unix executable files instead of font suitcases. !??! No idea what happened there.
I used Pacifist to reload fonts from my OSX installation disc, but this didn't seem to help. Instead, I found other copies of most of the corrupted fonts in the microsoft office/office/fonts folder, and replaced the corrupted fonts in my home library w/ those.
I was alerted to the fact the the problem was fonts when I tried to open an Excel file; it came back with messages that these various fonts were corrupted and needed to be removed. Strangely, though the corrupted fonts were in my home directory font folder and not the MS Office font folder, Excel was tripping up - i.e., it wasn't using the fonts from the Office folder. Hmm.
Finally, there are still a few fonts that are corrupted, and whose source is a mystery to me. They didn't come from the OS installation disc and they don't come from Office; consequently, I can't fix them. They are: Geneva CE, Geneva CY, GrCourier and N Helvitica Narrow.
Does anyone know where these fonts come from? -
How to stop email messages "Delivery has failed"?
For more than 6 months there have been constant messages. Now 100 a day! They all end in .ru with many different names in front. Do I have to cancel my .me address to stop this? How would I do that?
Hi Chris,
in addition to "cdeatherage" (if we both are on the right track what concerns your question).
3. Look at your providers website and activate his spam protection.
4. Talk to your provider and ask him about his possibilities.
5. Insert your own eMail-address only as a jpg-file (image-file)
6. Replace the @ with a written "at"
7. and more ... you could even look to Google.
Good luck!

How to send a "Message" that has text along with a photo
I take a photo with my iPhone5.
I want to send both the photo and a brief message along with it.
I touch the little arrow in the lower left hand side.
If I select "Message" there does not appear to be any way to enter even a minimal amount of text.
I know that I can "Email" it but this seems overkill.
How can I send a "Message" that contains both a photo and text?
Thank you.After selecting Message, you should see the pic in a white message box. Just tap the screen in the box under the message.

I hit ctrl key & click on the email address in windows 7 that I am sending an email to. Firefox gives me the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I click the OK option & the person's email address appears in yahoo mail ready for me to compose my email, but it always puts FirefoxHTML right after the person's email address & I have to go up & delete that portion. If I forget, the email is returned as error. Please help.
The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

Flash form to email not loading message body
I'm creating a form in Flash for a client's website to make
online reservations. I've been experimenting with asp scripts and
found two that work fine, except that the body of the email won't
load. The emails come through fine, but blank.
Since it's the same with both asp scripts I suspect the prob
is in the AS but I've been looking at this and tweaking and
experimenting for four days now. Any help will be appreciated.
Here's one of the asp scripts:
<%
strToEmail = "[email protected]"
strToName = "Gerry Mooney"
strToSubject = "LPReservation Request-tomailscript"
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
'Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.yourdomain.com"
strName = Request.form("name")
strEmail = Request.form("fromEmail_txt")
strMesg = Request.form("firmName_txt")
strBody = strMesg
'Mailer.FromName = strName
Mailer.FromAddress = strEmail
'Mailer.AddRecipient strToName, strToEmail
Mailer.Subject = (strToSubject)
Mailer.BodyText = strMesg
if Mailer.SendMail then
Response.Write "_root.status_txt.text=Your message has been
sent. Thank you."
else
Response.Write "_root.status_txt.text=Error: Fail to sent
your message."
Response.Write Mailer.Response
end if
%>
And here's the AS:
var email_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//this function is called when email_lv loads the server-side
script.
email_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
//If the script was successfully loaded, this condition is
run
if (success) {
/* Though the server-side script was loaded, it does not
mean it was
executed successfully. This condition gets a response from
the
server-side script and determines if it was truly
successful. */
if (this.server_mes == "ok") {
status_txt.text = "Email Sent";
/* You can add additional code here. This is only run
if everything went as planned. */
} else {
//email failed to send, but script did load. Likely a server
issue.
status_txt.text = "Email Failed";
/*This is the onRelease function for "submit_btn" button.
This is only run
if the button was pressed. */
submit_btn.onRelease = function() {
/* Here we are validating the data. This insures the email
address contains
both the "@" and ".", If not, it stops the script and alerts
the user. */
if (!fromEmail_txt.length || fromEmail_txt.indexOf("@") ==
-1 || fromEmail_txt.indexOf(".") == -1) {
status_txt.text = "Invalid Email";
//This validates the subject line contains text
} else if (!subject_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Subject";
//This validates the message body contains text
} else if (!firmName_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Firm Name";
//This validates the check in date
} else if (!checkIn_txt.length) {
status_txt.text = "Missing Check-in Date";
//If everything is filled out correctly, this is run.
} else {
//Collects the data from the text boxes and gives it to
email_lv
email_lv.fromEmail_txt = fromEmail_txt.text;
email_lv.subject_txt = subject_txt.text;
email_lv.firmName_txt = firmName_txt.text;
email_lv.checkIn_txt = checkIn_txt.text;
/* Finally, send the data to the server and get a response.
As mentioned above, serverlang holds the file extendion for
the server side language. You can hard code the complete
file name. */
email_lv.sendAndLoad("tomail_mytest.asp", email_lv, "POST");
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!More Information:

--Then did a Palm Backup
--Then did a Partial Erase
--Then (re) Add the EAS account
--Then it synchronized
--Now I can see the message body for "High Priority" emails but not any others...
Suggestions? Help? Thank you. -
Why Outlook email messages show unreadable characters
When you receive a new email in Outlook, you may see unreadable characters in the email message body. This issue could be caused by one of the following reasons on Outlook client side:
The email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus scanner.
This always happens when you are using characters (Such as apostrophes, double quotes, dashes, and ellipsis) supported by the "Smart Quotes" feature. When the email you received is converted to plain text format or a different encoding by a virus
scanner, the character is converted from the ASCII character to a Unicode character, which is not supported on the recipient’s side.
To prevent this issue from happening, we can turn off the “Smart Quotes” Feature in Outlook:
1. Open Outlook 2013.
2. Click File > Options > Mail.
3. Click Spelling and AutoCorrect button.
4. In the Editor Options window, click AutoCorrect Options button to open the AutoCorrect dialog.
5. Click AutoFormat tab, and then clear the check box before “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” under Replace heading.
6. Click OK.
The issue may be related to font substitution when a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word.
If a change is made to the Web Options in Microsoft Word, registry data under the following key may be configured incorrectly:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
This problem has been seen to occur when the Latin string value under the \Fonts key was empty (no value).
We can check the Web Options setting in Word via:
1. Start Word.
2. Go to File > Options > Advanced.
3. Scroll down to the General section, click Web Options button.
4. Switch to Font tab.
To resolve the problem, we need to delete the \Fonts registry key. To do this, please follow:
1. Exit Word.
2. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type regedit and press Enter.
3. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Internet\Fonts
4. Right-click the Font key and select Delete.
5. Click Yes and exit Registry Editor.
The sender used an e-mail program that did not mark messages with a language encoding (character set), or marked messages with an incorrect encoding setting.
In this case, we will see unreadable characters when we open the received message in our Outlook. For example, European regional characters (like German) require UTF-8 encoding protocol. So if the encoding in your environment is set to ASCII, the regional
characters will not be available.
To resolve this issue, we need to change the encoding in Outlook to which will display your message correctly.
1. Double-click to open the message you received.
2. Click Actions button in the Move group under Message tab.
3. Click Other Actions > Encoding.
4. Click More and select the correct encoding setting for the email.
5. After you finish reading the message, close the message, and click Yes button to save changes to the message.
When we send an email with Outlook, we can set Outlook to automatically select encoding for outgoing email messages to increase the possibility that the recipient receiving the message will see all the characters rendered properly, even if they run older
e-mail programs. By default, Outlook 2013 will automatically select an optimal encoding for outgoing e-mail messages. We can change the settings here in Outlook 2013: File > Options > Advanced > International Options section.
Something you may need to know when you set the encoding settings:
* The Unicode (UTF-8) character enables the complete range of characters on all computers. It’s the official IANA code for the UTF-8 character encoding.
* Western European (ISO) and Western European (Windows) character set can be read by almost all computers.
* If you are using a language other than English, you must choose the correct character set for that language, or the characters you need will not be displayed correctly.

How to attach a text file as an attachment to email message?
Hello Everybody,
I have a .csv file, in which details about emp-id, emp-name, e-expenses for Reimbursement and email address are stored.
My application reads this .csv file, and sends a mail to each employee with his id, salary details in text format. (by changing content type to "text/plain") The code is working fine. But,
My problem is:
The message is sent as message body to the end user.
The end user / the person who receives this mail will not be a technical person. So,
1) If he trys to take a print out of this e-mail, He get only half of it.(as no. of colums will be more than paper size).
2) I am finding alignment problem. IF employee name is too big, other columns will shift to right and data will not be exactly under column header. (it is going in zig zag way)
So, I thought sending text file with all the details as an attachment might do well.
But, I don't know how to attach a text file to email-message body.

try
{ String s1="";
File f1 = new File(the path);
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(f1); //new

Best workflow for Blu-ray/DVD projects
For most of my encore projects, I end up creating a blu-ray and dvd version of the project. What is the best way/workflow to do this? I always seem to end up running into problems.
