Format of incoming mail changed?

The "from" "subject" "Date" and "to" in incoming emails are now formatted like paragraphs with 1 1/2 Inches before the next line. I don't know what made this happen and where to go to change this back to normal. It is most aggravating. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the discussions, Gusty.
Have you done anything involving fonts recently?

  • Can I change the time format of incoming mails, in Mail? Now I have AM/PM, but I live in Denmark where we don't use that format. We have a 24-hour clock format i.e. 14:52 instead of 2:52 PM.

  • Formatting of incoming mail

    Lately some incoming mail arrives with incredibly wide text lines. Is there a way to control this? Is there an easy way to reformat a message in my inbox so I can read it without paging over to finish each line? Thanks.

    Are the problem messages received messages that were
    forwarded by the sender or newly composed messages by
    the sender?
    To check if the received message was formatted in
    HTML, with the message open, at the menu bar go to
    View > Message. If the received message was formatted
    in HTML, Plain Text Alternative will be an available
    selection.
    If available, select Plain Text Alternative to see if
    this resolves the problem.
    If so, the problem is caused by the sender using HTML
    formatting.
    Thanks. This worked with a text-only message that was a reply to an email by me. Don't know how it got into HTML, but that fixed it.
    The other one is not forwarded, but appears to have been cut and pasted from an email received by the sender. The text is reformatted effectively when I select "plain text alternative," but of course I lose the graphics.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Incoming mail fonts changed

    For some reason, all my incoming mail comes in with an Arial bold font that is very hard to read. The same thing has happened on random web pages (yahoo, google, amazon). Any ideas how this happened and how to change them back?
    Thanks,
    Jtk

    Were all received messages composed in HTML?
    With a received message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and if Plan Text Alternative is an available selection, this indicates the message was composed in HTML. If available, select Plain Text Alternative and all text will be converted to the font you have chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors > Message Font.
    When a message is composed in HTML, the sender controls the formatting and the Mail.app does not include a preference setting to automatically convert all text composed in HTML to Plain Text for received messages.

  • How to change font size of incoming mail in mail app?

    Formatted text in many incoming mails (written in outlook?) is ridiculously small. There was a terminal command to cure this annoyance but that doesn't work in OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro anymore! (Nor can it be set in the preferences). How come it's not possible to adjust the text size of the mails I receive permanently and once and for all? Talking about the best OS ever?
    Thanks in advance!

    Its there
    Go to Tools -> Options
    Then under Environment you've fonts and colors tab where you can specify a higher font size.

  • How do i change date format in mac mail?

    how do i change the date format in mac mail?

    I just had this problem and I already was using "classic layout".
    I went back to mac mail and at the top, it says, MAIL, FILE, EDIT, VIEW (etc). In VIEW, in the drop down, one of the options is ORGANIZE BY CONVERSATION ..I saw that mine was CHECKED.
    I unchecked it and now all the emails are fine again, showing one by one, as opposed to all my emails from one client getting lumped together.

  • How do I change incoming mail settings in Snow Leopard Mail?

    When I try to change the settings for my Mail app, in Snow Leopard, the incoming mail settings are greyed out.  What do I do to be able to change these?
    (I had a problem, with my Mail account, which a consultant fixed for me on my laptop.  But I cannot remember what he did to access the incoming mail server preferences, and make the changes, because on my desktop these are still greyed out.)

    use the mail setup wizard, head over to Mail Community, mobileme ended.

  • I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently.  And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing.  what am I missing?

    You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
    You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
    The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
    For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

  • Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.

    Hi, I have private emails in IPAD2, i have chaged the incoming mail server name and saved the change.
    but, when I back to read my old emails in inbox it's gone away, I have backed to setting and return the previous
    incoming mail name, but also I did't get the old emails. where I can find the old emails in my IPAD2 ?

    It is only the link to your emails which are 'stored' on your iPad. You will have to enter all proper email addresses to get the message associated with them, which, in practice,  means multiple accounts. If all still does not work try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release].

  • In Yosemite, how do I change my incoming mail server?

    In Yosemite, I can't change my incoming mail server.  I have to use one for my office network, and another when outside the network.  In the older OS I could easily change it (even though is would always rearrange the order of my email accounts).  Now the field for the incoming mail server is grayed out and can't be changed.
    Help!!

    And now the solution after an online chat with the great Apple support staff.  In Mail Preferences, Accounts, Advanced tab, uncheck the "Automatically detect and maintain account settings" box.  Save the settings when closing the preferences box.  Then open preferences again and note the incoming mail server box can be changed. 
    ...now if the software engineers can fix the annoying bug of the order of accounts being changed to "Apple Order" whenever changes are made, the Mail app will be much improved.

  • Why do I get Invalid Incoming Mail Server when changing mail preferences?

    I unclicked the "show notes in inbox" option and when I tried to save the changes I received a pop up box with the following message: Invalid Incoming Mail Server - The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.
    I don't know what this means...

    Hmmm, is this an iCloud account or other account?

  • Hi ,I have a Mcbook Pro Mail version 6.3, since we changed from ADSL to fiber the incoming mails stop coming.out is fine after we changed the ports etc. does anyone know what alse we shall do?thks!

    hi, I have a Mcbook Pro Mail verson 6.3,
    since we changed from ADSL to fiber the incoming mails doesnt work.
    out is fine as we have configurated the e mail account with correct info.
    so what can be the problem? anyone that can help out?
    its my first time out here...thks!

    It's either a problem with your incoming mail server (are you using POP or IMAP?) or, possibly, a problem with your new router.
    Which mail service are you using and what is your incoming server address? Does it require a special port?
