Emails are not readable - strange text

Hi All
suddenly I can't read some of my incoming emails. The body text is in a nonsense script. If the sender has a signature, that is readable. How can I set Mail to read these? Is it RTF? HTML text?
Thanks,
Elliott

After upgrading to Tiger I've been fighting the same problem: some MSWord docs attached open okay (these are the ones that are ID'ed as MSWord when you hold the pointer over them, but others, ostensibly MSWord documents, too, open up with lots of junk and almost no readable text and these are identified as "Mime-type: application/octet-stream"
So I'm thinking that something is happening with the OS X and/or Mail upgrade that is causing this problem.
In the past this never happend.
BTW a "fix" of sorts is to use a webmail application and download the offending documents from there. Once downloaded they'll open just fine.
I think Apple needs to explain this and give us users a fix.

  • My email are not readable by other users...HELP PLEASE

    i have entourage, set preference in plaintext but when i send an email to an other user this what i get
    "> This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not
    understand
    this format, some or all of this message may not be legible."
    plus my words arrived to the other end all wrong -
    what i can do?

    Hi
    The message basically states that IE cannot load your stylesheet specified in the XML file.
    To fix this issue always use the TestStand tools menu item - "Package XML/HTML Files for Distribution" to 'pack' your XML reports before you try to use it in another computer. 
    For more details please refer to this KB - How Do I View TestStand XML Report Files On Another Machine?

  • The UI text of the menus are not readable so it's impossible to work with

    Hi
     I install the photoshop cs6(x64) and i have the following problem. The UI text of the menus(not the toolbar drop down menus) are not readable so it's impossible to work with. After that, I completely uninstall the cs6 photoshop and i tried to install photoshop cc(x64)-with clean install- but the problem still exist.
    Also I tried to change display settings from 1600x900(recommened)but the problem still exist...I send you some photos of the menus to understand better what I mean.Any suggestions? Specifications
    Toshiba Satellite L775-15NWin 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
    Intel Core i5-2430M 2.4GHz
    Ram 8gb
    Monitor 17"
    Geforce GT 525M

    Right click on your desktop and choose Properties, then choose Window Color, Advanced Appearance settings...
    Click on the Message Text to look at your Message Box item settings.  Is the font Segoe UI, 9 point, color black?
    Also, in Photoshop, check your Edit - Preferences - Interface menu.  What is your UI Font Size there?  Try changing it to something else, closing and restarting Photoshop, then changing it back.
    Lastly, you could try resetting your Photoshop preferences to defaults.  Press and hold Command - Shift - Option simultaneously (or Control - Shift - Alt if on a PC) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

  • IPhoto Titles of Events are not readable

    Hi,
    i´ve an issue with the interaction of background colour and text colour. In the event view background is dark grey and text is black. Therefore you can hardly read the text under events. When i change background colour only in picture view can changes be noticed. Generally the headlines in black are not readable if you prefer dark grey as background. Any suggestions? Thank´s in advance.
    Dirk

    hoernerD:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's strange because my Event view background is black and the text is white. When viewing an open event the background can be adjusted in iPhoto Preferences just the same as the Photos view.
    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, from your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that will help.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    Your mailserver is sometimes requesting authentication and sometimes not. The reason for that can't be found in the SAP system but in the mailserver since that is requesting the authentication.
    "Webmail" is the application on top but that is not the system sending and receiving the mail.
    The SAP system is out of scope here. I'd check the mail server logs why it is requesting authentication sometimes and sometimes not.
