Email update notifications subject line could be a *lot* more useful.

I only started using the discussions forums a while ago (although I read quite a few Apple Mailing lists).
I am registered to receive notifications for a few forums. These typically have a subject line like this:
===
Apple Discussions forum "Some Forum" has been updated by Some User
===
and a line in the body that reads:
===
You have requested mail to be sent to you when messages to the Apple Discussions forum "Some Forum" are posted. Some User posted "Some Topic" on May 25, 2006 11:20:09 PM.
===
It would be much nicer and more convenient if the subject line of these mail also contained the topic name, so that I can weed out those that I'm not interested in without actually opening the message, and also so that I can recognise which messages are going to direct to me to the same topic.
For example:
===
"Some Topic" in Apple Discussions "Some Forum" has been updated by Some User
===
Even the thread id would be useful, if the length of the subject line is a concern.
This should be pretty easy, as the information is clearly available when the mail is constructed.
cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin
that's odd, since my notification emails come with a subjecy header like
Topic "Movies/Flash" in the Apple Discussions forum "Safari" has been updated by someone
iMac G5 rev B   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2GB 250GB

  • I am unable to email an image from camera roll. the image gets "stuck". cannot input email address or subject line. am unable to cancel and go back to camera roll

    what to do. i tries taking new picture and sending it in an email... same thing... gets "stuck "
    Waht to do ?

    Hello lohmann8,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with emailing photos from the Camera Roll.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Photos and Camera app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • How to get Mail 8.1 to forward an email based on Subject line?

    I am using Mail 8.1 under MacOSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
    I would like to create a rule that takes all mail received into a specific Mailbox and send or forward it to an email address which forms the Subject line of that email, changing the Subject line of the outgoing email to "Response Received".
    What is the easiest way to do this?

    You first need to setup iCloud and then setup an iCloud email account. Either that or you can set up an IMAP email account with your email provider. Your current email is probably a POP3 account, it may be able to convert it to IMAP but you would need to check with your email provider first.

  • ICloud email update notifications despite not selected

    I'm sharing my calendar with my wife via our iCloud accounts.  Two days ago every event I put in my calendar she not only sees in iCal but now gets an email notification.
    There is an option in iCloud.com->Calendar to "notify me by email if calendar changes" but we both have this selected as "no".
    We are both getting emails from our iCloud accounts about updates.
    Is there anyway to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
    snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
    to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

  • Issues in Swedish mail notification subject line

    Hi team,
    I have created one concurrent program which run on daily basis to send notification about employee contract expiration to their manager before 30 days.
    I should send mail into swedish language. I am facing one issue into this.
    I have compiled program correctly with Swedish as machine langage and i am able to see appropriate mail format in my package body.
    But i receive mail notification, the mail body is in swedish language but mail subject removed the swedish characters.
    Please check below details:
    Apps : 12.1.3
    Database : 11g
    Responsiblity Name: HR Professional
    Swedish Subject line in Code : HRMS System Varning: Anställningskontrakt löper ut om 28 dagar
    Swedish Subject line in mail notification : HRMS System Varning: Anstallningskontrakt loper ut om 28 dagar
    Sweidish Mail body in code : Observera att gällande anställningskontrakt för löper ut den
    Swedish Subject in mail notification : Observera att gällande anställningskontrakt för löper ut den
    I tried following approch:
    1. I passed direct subject line to P_Subject parameter.
    2. I assigned subject line to l_subject and then passed value l_subject to P_subject .
    in both cases, i am getting wrong output. Kindly check and let me know if anything is required from my side.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Basaw

    Hi Friend,
    Thanks for quick reply.
    It is not showing any garbage value or squares anything.
    It is just removing swedish characters. Please check below:
    Sweidish Mail body in code : HRMS System Varning: Anställningskontrakt löper ut om 28 dagar
    Swedish Subject in mail notification : HRMS System Varning: Anstallningskontrakt loper ut om 28 dagar
    If you see closely, in word Anställningskontrak and löpe, it is removied a and o which are special values in swedish characters.

  • Can't see email body only subject line

    Can not view email body on my I pad, only subject line.

    Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logou appears and let go of the button.
    If that didn't work, reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • HT2500 Apple Email "From," and "Subject" lines do not match body of email

    After on and off problems with the imap server in iCloud the past couple weeks that prevented me from getting my .mac mail anywhere other than on the iCloud website, my inbox has morphed into a jumble of miss-matched Email Subject, From/Sent by, and Email Body.  In other words I will double click on an email that appears to be from my niece, but when it opens it is actually an email from Amazon - or someone else!  I am done with MAIL, but need HELP restoring my inboxes.  I have "Rebuilt" all inboxes but it didn’t repair the problem.  I have since switched to Outlook client for Mac and the problem does NOT occur with Outlook. 
    Ideas?

    I was able to repair this by deleting a specific file - more to come.  I did not have to do a complete restore.
    I will check for my notes and let you know how I fixed the problem.
    I think there is a good chance that Outlook mail for Mac may have been part of the problem.  It requred a rebuild (pulling data from Mail?)

  • Saving Outlook eMail to a hard drive folder with long subject lines

    I'm using Outlook 2010 on a WIN7 machine. I drag and drop eMails to folders on my desktop quite often and in the past (earlier version
    of Outlook) I would receive a warning that the file did not copy if the subject line was too long. When I drag and drop eMails with long subject lines now there is no visual warning or indication that the operation failed. I am aware of the file name/path
    character count limitation. My issue is the lack of a warning when the operation fails requiring me to have to check the length of the subject line before the operation or double check if the file is present after the operation. Checking after the operation
    is quite exacerbating when you are copying 15 - 20 files at a time. Is there a patch or something that can be done about this?

  • Javascript to pull a PDF field into the Subject line of email?

    I've created a fillable PDF form using Pro X.  I'd like to program the Submit button so that once in the email portion, the subject line would automatically pull 3 specific fields from the PDF file.
    Example:  After hitting "Submit"....once in the email, I'd like the Date, Vendor Name, and PO # from the PDF form to automatically pull into the Subject line.
    I have to PDF the complete document and go through the Desktop Email Application on my PC.
    Thank you!

    Hello Everyone,
    I am having the same issue as tlg814 with needing three fields to pull into the subject, and I followed the blue print of the code as well, but I am only getting one field to populate in the subject line.  I am using Acrobat XI. Here is my code:
    Mouse up> Run a JavaScript
    var parts = getField("SR#", "Urgency", "Ship To").value
    this.mailDoc({
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cCc: "[email protected]",
    cSubject: parts,
    cMsg: "Please create a Parts Request for the items in this email. Thanks"
    Any thoughts as to why it is not pulling all three fields?
    Thanks

  • Change subject line of email when submitting a form using Acrobat X Pro

    I have created an interactive PDF in Acrobat X PRO with a submit a form button. Everything works fine all the way through distribution except that I need the Subject Line of the submitted form when attached to an email to read "Form Returned: File Name" rather than "Submitting Completed Form". All of my past forms had the "Form Returned: File Name" subject line automatically...did something change and is it possible to change the subject line? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply. I had actually come across that form on multiple occasions during my research. Looks like I need the doc.mailDoc() function, but there isn't an example of the code. Looking in other places I have tried a few things unsuccessfully. I did find this, which I thought would be even better than Form Returned: File Name in the subject line...actually taking information from fields in the form:
    // Build the subject line text from several fields form fields
    var subj_text = getField("text1").valueAsString;
    subj_text += getField("text2").valueAsString;
    subj_text += getField("text3").valueAsString;
    // Send the email
    mailDoc({
        cTo: "[email protected]",
        cSubject: subj_text,
        cMsg: "Body of email message goes here."
    I entered the script(adding in my own information for the email, body and subject line) by adding an action to the button to run the java script but it did not work. Any ideas??

  • How do I access the subject line when I send an email?

    This never used to be a problem until recent "upgrades" but I can't put a subject for an email in the subject line even though I am constantly prompted to do so when I send an email. There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust preferences anymore either.

    There is a way to remove the Subject line!!
    follow these steps:
    go to Settings > Messages > uncheck "Show Subject Field "
    Thats it! You're problem will be solved!

  • Just got an i-pad 2. When I go to send an email it already has the words "Sent from my ipad" under the subject line. How do I permanently remove this phrase (Yes, you can backspace to remove this but it must be done everytime).

    Yes, just got an i-pad 2. Love it! Question, when I go to send an email, under the subject line it already has the phrase "Sent from my ipad". How do I permanently remove this phrase. (Yes I can do it manually each time but I prefer not to). Thanks

  • IPad Mail Subject Line

    Every time I compose an email without a subject line a warning comes up and says "The Subject Line is empty, do you still want to send" is there a way to avoid this warning every time I send an email??
    Thanks

    I am wondering the same thing Glboater.  I have AOL email set up on iphone 4S and ipad 1 and it asks me that same stupid question every time I try to send an email.  It is not an AOL settings issue as far as I can tell -- at least, I haven't found any such settings when I go to my AOL account online.  Yet, I see nothing in Mail Settings on either device that relates to this. 
    If this is a built-in default that can't be overridden, it is utterly idiotic -- even Outlook doesn't make you pause to see if the stupid subject line has been filled in.  Someone must know what the deal is here.  I believe it was happening before IOS5 updates.  

  • Field Merge in Subject Line - Increasing the Hard Bounce Rate?

    Hey All,
    We did a little A/B test recently. By "little" I mean two different tests, 250 recipients in each test). We wanted to test the option to insert Field Merge in the Subject Line. We took 10% of 2 specific groups of costumers and sent the two options:
    1. Salutation LastName, Register Now and Secure a Tuition Scholarship
    VS.
    2. Register Now and Secure a Tuition Scholarship
    As said above, we did the same test twice to 2 different groups.
    The results was, unsurprisingly, in favour of the Subject Line with the Field Merge BUT - - - - - We saw that not only the Open Rates or Clickthroughs were higher, but also Hard Bounce rates were higher (3 Hard Bounces when we used Field Merge vs. 0 when we sent a plain text SL)
    Do you think that the usage of Field Merge in the Subject Line could be the reason for the higher Hard Bounces rates?
    Thank you,
    Ziv

    You should be able to get some more precise information from your Xorg logs, but I would bet it is related to the evdev driver. Some of the options in your xorg.conf no longer work with the latest version. For now you should be able to either map your mouse directly to the appropriate /dev/event* entry or change to the standard mouse driver, both of those methods should be in the wiki.
    You are supposed to be able to use the evdev driver without the input section of your xorg.conf by using dbus/hal autodetection, but AFAIK at the moment the xorg-server package still isn't compiled with hal support, so you would have to patch and rebuild the package.
