Emoji's Displaying as Plain Text
After upgrading to Mavericks, whenever I type out a smiley (screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/210a430a2d2k) it displays as normal, plain text and not as a smiley icon. If I select an emoticon from teh drop down menu, though, it works. But it does not automatically translate symbols into emoji as it previously did. How can I fix this? Thank you!
Hi,
In iChat and Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) there was a .plist in the app that listed all the combinations that could be used for each Smiley.
Even here on the Apple Support Community forums you can type colon, dash, close parentheses and not see a Smiley :-) but will do if you leave out the dash.
When I type the colon, dash, close parentheses in Messages I and offered a view of the selected smiley or a X to dismsss and send as plain text.
What the .plist did was to then call the correct pic and display it. (Plain text was sent in either direction and the App changed it if you set "Show Smileys")
Later versions of iChat and then Messages actually sent the Smiley Pic after pulling it from within the app.
Those Smileys have gone as has the .plist and some other arrangement is supposed to substitute the Emoji ones.
Although there is no "Show Smileys" option in the View Menu any more there is a Substitutions listed in Edit menu which includes Emoji (I can't work out though if it make any difference).

Hello,
I hope you can help me. I've imported all my emails from Eudora into Outlook 2010 but I have a couple of problems.
All emails that I've imported which had attachments with them have a notice on them saying the attachment has been blocked. I can always browse to the folder whereb my old attachments are stored, but this is still inconvenient.
Secondly, all my messages that I've sent in the past (html) are being displayed in plain text, which is making them difficult to read because of all the html tags being displayed.
Also with emails that I've sent in the past- there is no record of any attachments being sent with messages which I know had attachments with them.
Any ideas? I've trawled google and had no luck except finding programs that cost $70 that can import everything properly.
DavidDavid:
I know this is a very old thread, but did you every figure out a way to fix the formatting of imported Eudora mail?
I just "upgraded" from Eudora to Outlook 2010 ...
and have 10 years worth of HTML formatted e-mail that now shows up as plain text with embedded html formatting ...
apparently it is a long-running problem that has roots in the way Eudora formats messages ...
Outlook and other e-mail clients all seems to have issues with importing and do not properly recognize HTML-formatted messages from Eudora ... very sad that I can no longer really "read" my old e-mail at this point ... :-(

JEditorPane with text/html content-type still displaying as plain-text?
Hello all,
I recently started work on a very basic HTTP GET program that gets the HTML source of a page and, using a JEditorPane, displays the page as normal (i.e. like a browser would).
Anywhoo, the HTTP GET is fine, and the source is loaded into a String called "html". Then I do this:
displayArea.createEditorKitForContentType("text/html");
displayArea.setText(html);However the content appears in the editor pane as plain-text (i.e. the HTML code appears as-is, not in a 'compiled' form).
Any ideas why this is?
Thanks,
TristanThanks for the replies, however the setContentType didn't work either. When I changed the code to what you suggested, nothing got inserted into the editor pane at all (i.e. no HTML - nor plain-text?). More of the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ClassName extends JFrame implements ActionListener
public JTextField urlIn, pageIn;
public JButton go;
public JScrollPane scrollPane;
public JEditorPane displayArea;
public JPanel topPanel;
public String url, page, html;
public int index;
public ClassName()
setSize(1230,680);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel topPanel = new JPanel();
topPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
urlIn = new JTextField(18);
pageIn = new JTextField(18);
JButton go = new JButton("Go!");
topPanel.add(urlIn);
topPanel.add(pageIn);
topPanel.add(go);
add(topPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
displayArea = new JEditorPane();
displayArea.setEditable(false);
add(displayArea, BorderLayout.CENTER);
go.addActionListener(this);
urlIn.addActionListener(this);
setVisible(true);
public static void main(String args[])
new ClassName();
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if( e.getActionCommand() == "Go!" )
url = urlIn.getText();
page = pageIn.getText();
if (url != null && page != null )
try
final int HTTP_PORT = 80;
Socket s = new Socket(url, HTTP_PORT);
InputStream inStream = s.getInputStream();
OutputStream outStream = s.getOutputStream();
Scanner in = new Scanner (inStream);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outStream);
out.print("GET " + page + " HTTP/1.0\n\n");
out.flush();
while( in.hasNextLine() )
String input = in.nextLine();
html = html + input;
s.close();
catch (Exception exception)
System.out.println("Error: " + exception);
displayArea.setContentType("text/html");
displayArea.setText(html);
urlIn.setText("");
pageIn.setText("");
else
System.out.println("Please enter something!");
}Am baffled as to what the problem is? :-(
Thanks,

Does anyone know why iCal in Lion doesn't displays URL's for events, just as plain text, and why the URL window has been removed when creating a new event?
Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
Thanks again..

Password displayed in plain text in sql file
Hi all,
I have a shell script that calls another sql file to connect to the database and do some queries. The username and password used to connect to the databse are in plain text in the sql file. My question is how can I hide these parameters in the sql file and be able to connect to the database.
Thanks in advance.Oracle have something to do such thing : Secure External Password Store
Laurent Schneider posted an example of usage on his blog : sqlnet.wallet_override=true
Or you have an external tool : Oracle Password Repository which seems easy to use.

How do I get incoming mail messages to display in plain text?
Recently some incoming messages are virtually unreadable because they are in rich text format and render with incredibly small font size. They are mostly coming from work colleagues using Windows. Recently I upgraded yo Yosemite and they were upgraded to Windows 7: im not sure if either is relevant.
I'm sure there's a trick somewhere to increase the viewing font size after the message displays, but I'd rather it displayed legibly in the first place...
Any ideas?If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac. Haven't found a commonality yet.
Someone here will have a brilliant answer, however. -
Not sure about the protocol, because I found the problem, the question above, and have already solved it, and wanted to get the info out.
If a "<a ...>" link has the pathname split across lines, the link no longer displays correctly. Oddly, if you right-click it, it is there, and you can "Copy Link Location". But, you cannot click the link.
Example:
<A HREF="ftp://some.domain.com/bogus-storage-management/maintenance/client/version/Windows/x64/v621/6.2.1
.my_file.htm">README</A>
does not work, but
<A HREF="ftp://some.domain.com/bogus-storage-management/maintenance/client/version/Windows/x64/v621/6.2.1.my_file.htm">README</A>
does (assuming this question box doesn't split that line too ;^).Yeah, there shouldn't really be any line breaks in a URL, if that's the problem.
I read a blog post ([http://www.owlfolio.org/htmletc/css-data-theft/ Data theft with CSS]) about the recent security fix for malicious style sheets, and one of the targeted behaviors did involve line breaks in a URL. Perhaps the anchor tag case is an unintended side effect of the CSS parsing change?? -
Tried change view message body as (already set to original HTML) . Tried all settings, no change.
If you can never see remote images because the "Show Remote Images" button is always missing check that permissions.default.image is set to 1 using the config editor.

Firefox 11 beta is having issues loading Flash and HTML content, shows plain text instead of images
I'm not sure what is causing the problem but it has been happening since beta 10 and now its also in beta 11. Randomly when I load any web page the page is displayed in plain text leaving all the HTML or flash content blank. Yes I have the most recent version of flash installed along with Java just in case it was looking for that mess as well. Sometimes the pages load fine, and sometimes they don't, it's like playing lotto with the internet. The only fix I know of is to either keep refreshing the page and "hope" it catches it on the reload, or closing Firefox and running CCleaner. Some times FF will load some of the visual data and leave gaps but usually its just basic text mode. I'm at a loss as to whether the problem is from Firefox or my ISP being a douche, either way its annoying that Firefox is not showing internet pages like it used to.
Hate to see it happening but it looks like Firefox is on its way to being just another Internet Explorer clone (failure). Should have stayed with your original team, all the new folks you have hired are really mucking up the whole project and its goal of a free and open internet. Not to mention writing bad code and costing you money and more importantly the user base.
(Update, now it's not doing it go figure, but I'm sure it will do it again at some point, perhaps its not Firefox and something else, I'll keep my eye on it and try to report any findings)If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Plain Text Not available in Control Properties
Hi,
I am not sure if this is a strange behavior or its an expected one. We have a BI query and pulled in an Input Form and then the output to a table. On clicking on this recoed it should display all the output fields in a form with its name and value. For the parameters I do not see an option for selecting Plain Text. It gives me only input field, dropdown, text editor.
Why is this happening? Is there any way that I can map these fields to a plain text?
Thanks,
Nagarajan.Hi,
Sorry for not being clear. From the BI Query Out port I have a Table which will display the result values. Now when I select any of the row item in the table there is a form connected from the table out port. This form should display all the details of the row item. When I try to look into the control properties for these parameters in the form I don't have an option to select plain text.
I can only display the values in the input field. I want these values to be displayed in plain text instead of input field. Logically it makes sense because there should be two plain text fields for a value because one text field will display the Parameter name and one will display its corresponding value. That's the reason it is not available.
But just chekcing if there are any easier way to do this other than creating 2 plain text fields for one parameter and mapping these items. Because I have around 40 fields to be displayed which will be make my life worse by manual creation
Thanks,
Nagarajan. -
Plain text editor that will open html correctly in browser
TextEdit isn't the answer. If I save a plain text document full of html code as a "web page (html)" doc, it displays as plain text code in the browser rather than translating the code as a web page. I cannot save it as a .txt doc - the option is not available. If I save it as a .odt, I cannot then append .html to the file. So really, it ***** as a coding app. Isn't there a plain text option for Mac that works just like Notepad (or like SimpleText from years ago)?

This is because what you're doing causes it to think that the code is the content of the page.
You must work in Plain Text mode: when you have completed your code use Save As and save it as filename.html - you will get a dialog box offering to add .txt on the end, but you should decline the offer. This will work perfectly well.
It's a very useful way of making simple alterations to code: if you want to go for something more advanced you might like to look at PageSpinner ($29.95, trial period available) which gives you colouring dependent on the type of code, pre-formed code to add it, and a live display of the result using Webkit (as in Safari). -
As a part of design I have .INC files that contain HTML that is to be processed by PHP. The extension is .INC to separate it from .HTML files which don't need pre-processing.
I sometimes need to preview those files as HTML, but Firefox always displays them as plain text. Is there a way to tell Firefox that .INC files should be displayed as .HTML?One at a time is the answer to both questions, I'm afraid. There is no automated way to do either.

Plain Text will not display correctly, how can i edit html?
Hello,
my beloved MacBook Pro has been a godsend, however i have found that it is incapable of displaying Plain Text, in Text Edit, Safari (View Source), or Dreamweaver's code view. Thus, i am finding it impossible to view or edit html.
the way it displays is either all jumbled and overlapping, or spread out over impossible distances. sadly i cannot post a picture.
we also have a G3 and a G4 in the house, both running 10.3, and they also have the same issue with plain text.
I have not found any topic on this, here or in google. can someone please help?
thanks,
Tobias
macbook pro 2.33 3GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)Tom, very kindly, has got me most of the way to a happy ending.
one or another font file or cache was causing the problem. i removed all fonts from Home/Library/Fonts, then ran FontFinagler, rebooted, and things display correctly.
now i must figure out how to establish which fonts are suitable suitcases to be used.
bests,

Plain text emails do not display content when Usin...
While testing the Nokia E71 as a possible phone to enable those of our workers who sometimes go on the road to access their emails using, an IMAP4 connection, I noted plain text emails just displayed the sender and subject line. The text of the message itself is not displayed. HTML emails all seemed to work perfectly it was just the plain text ones which did not work.
I checked the emails in our test IMAP4 account using a standard email client and they displayed in full correctly.
Has anyone else seen this and if so is there a way to fix it?Hi Peter
Actually, Captivate does have an essentially unlimited number
of undo levels. But that number may appear to be different. The
number of levels starts when you begin editing the project. If you
close and re-open a project, that starts the undo process over.
I've tested and I gave up after about 280 or so undos.
Where Captivate doesn't allow an undo, it normally warns you
with a rather catastrophic looking dialog.

View Received HTML Emails - ONLY Displays Plain Text!
I've got Apple Mail set up running two IMAP Email accounts (including .Mac), and two POP3 accounts. For quite some time now, Mail refuses to display ANY email message (no matter what email address receives the message) that has HTML/images in it. For example:
The Apple newsletters for Apple Computer, and the iTunes store that come out periodically, they never display with the images- it's always a boat load of hyperlinks, random text here and there and HTML all over the place. I've purchased e-tickets from United Airlines online and have been unable to print out my confirmation because the email comes through with just the HTML, some text and everything all over the place.
I operate heavily with my email and this is an issue that may get me to ditch Mail permanently if I can't get it to work properly. I am diligent about doing Apple Software Updates, I've gone through the Preferences of Mail time and again, I even erased my harddrive and did a complete system-rebuild just to see if this would fix the problem, and alas no such luck.
I'm not even getting the drop down bar that asks "Do you want to view images associated with this email?" And when I do get an email that I know has images in it and is in the form of HTML, the images aren't even located in attachments.
Does anyone have ANY ideas? I've tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file several times to no avail. Is there anything that I could be overlooking? I'd really hate to ditch Mail for Thunderbird or worse, Entourage.
Thanks in advance.Or you could try this:
To make Plain Text the preferred alternative for viewing messages (which may or may not accomplish what you want), quit Mail, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
You can revert to the default setting with the following command:
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
And you can reverse the setting regardless of what the default setting is with the following command:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool FALSE
Maybe you are looking for
