From Field and Subject Overlap In Mail.app

I am getting an overlap of the From and Subject fields. This first appeared after my upgrade to Lion. At first I thought it was a font issue, since that's what the forums have indicated. I found no duplicate fonts and Helvetica (i assume this is Helvetica, but not too savvy with fonts) appeared to be in the Font Book in all of its iterations. I'm now curious because I have a new iMac with a factory installation of Lion and have the exact same issue. Occasionally what was overlapped displays correctly, but I have not found a correlation with any other actions that would have made it do so. This appears in the new Lion veiw and in Classic View. It also overlaps when double clicking to open the message in a new window. 
I was unable to find any relevant posts dated after 2008. I would appreciate any ideas, however far-fetched.
OS 10.7.1
Build 11B26
Mail 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3)

If you name email folders like that in many programs, it will create two folders (or more)
It assumes it's a path, just like an operating system does when typing a path.
If you don't want that, you can name it:
Misc-Apple or the like.

  • Gmail / apple mail, assuming mavericks upgrade issue. Messages from/to and subject header do not match displayed message

    Hi Everyone
    Hoping someone has had a similar issue and can help me sort it out.
    Since Upgrading to mavericks a few weeks ago, I notice the follwoing issue in my apple mail when searching older messages (newer ones seem fine at the moment).
    A lot ( I cant say all, but quite a few well into the 80-90% plus of messages sent pre update) have gotten scrambled. I can search from/ to and subject headers, and they correspond with each other. But when i select the message Im looking for, the message desplayed is from a different sender (with a diferent subject)
    Ex I search for JohnDoe (happens if i use search function or just go manually looking thru folders) and subject "Quote", Message comes up (or I find as in manual search). When i select the message the message displayed is not the correct one. Its From JaneDoe with a subject "Thanksgiving" and its message.
    Obviously making it a little tricky to track down previous emails.
    My mail provider is Gmail (which I have heard mavericks / apple mail have been having lots of issues with).
    Hopeefully someone knows what I can do
    Thanks

    Hello BigRed81,
    I have a question on this subject.  I am having the same issue.  I followed the link to the support page for rebuidling a mailbox.  It states :
    "When you rebuild mailboxes for IMAP and Exchange accounts, locally stored messages and attachments are discarded, and the messages and attachments are downloaded again from the server to your Mac. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete."
    I use gmail just for my Inbox.  I pull off all of my messages from the server by filing them on my mac.  So my concern is if I rebuild a mailbox, my mail account is gmail imap, and I do not have copies of my emails on the gmail server anymore that I will lose the majority of my mail because there is nothing to download again. 
    Do you know if this will happen?  Or I should not be concerned?
    Thanks

  • How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

    How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server.  I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

    Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
    Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
    Good luck!

  • From:, To: and Subject: end up in email body - html email using sendmail

    To the experts and the experienced:
    I am trying to send email in html format from a Korn shell script on Solaris 10. The
    email does get delivered and is displayed html-formatted, except that the From:, To: and
    Subject: lines are displayed in the email body, rather than in the email header. I
    would appreciate it very much if experts and the experienced could shed some light.
    I use this command line to send the email:
    sendmail -t [email protected] < testmail
    The content of the testmail file is as follows:
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="frontier"
    --frontier
    Content-Type: text/plain
    From: [email protected]
    To: [email protected]
    Subject: test html email
    This is a plain-text email.
    Newman
    --frontier
    Content-Type: text/html
    From: [email protected]&lt;br/&gt;
    To: [email protected]&lt;br/&gt;
    Subject: test html email&lt;br/&gt;
    &lt;h3 align="center"&gt;This is a html email&lt;/h3&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;This is the paragraph.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Newman&lt;/p&gt;
    frontier\
    The email received in Microsoft Outlook (html-formatted), looks like this:
    From:         [email protected]
    To:
    Subject:
    From: [email protected]
    To: [email protected]
    Subject: test html email
    <h3 align="center">This is a html email</h3>
    <p>This is the paragraph.</p>
    Newman
    Two things in the email need fixing:
    1. All the From:, To: and Subject: lines are treated as part of the email body and are
    displayed in the email body, rather than in the header as I wanted them to.
    2. The From: line in the email header is the actual sender, not the Bursar.Office as I
    put in the testmail file. This can be easily done when using SMTP (telnet to port 25)
    or mailx.
    How do I tell sendmail/the email client to display in the intended places the From:,
    To: and Subject: information that I specified in the testmail file?
    Many thanks!
    Newman

    I searched in google and found a solution:
    mailx -r [email protected] -s "test html email
    content-type: text/html" john.doe < testmail
    The testmail file is a pure html file with one <html></html> element. The content embedded in this element is the body of the email, with all the usual tags you would like to use: <head>, <style>, &lt;h3&gt;, &lt;p&gt;, &lt;ul&gt;, etc.
    The trick is piggy-backing a content-type with the subject. It seems to me this it to get the content-type into the email header rather than into the body. And that was exactly the problem I had.
    The command lines was executed on Solaris 10. It works.
    Hope this could be useful to someone who would encounter the same problem.

  • I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the mail "file" has 2GB. How can I permantely delete this information from my iphone4?

    How can I permantely delete email information from my iphone4?
    I deleted all my emails from inbox and trash, but the Mail "file" still has 2GB...

    Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It's been 4 or 5 days now and iCloud still says I have 0kb of 5GB available, and 6.1GB of mail on iCloud. I guess that's better than yesterday when it said I had 8.3GB of mail. Does anyone know if it simply takes Apple a week to actually empty a mailbox?
    thanks in advance, hopefully tomorrow it says I have only 4GB of non-existent mail and I can start using it again...

  • Over the years and upgrading machines, I now have over 20k of emails in the import mailboxes within several folders. How can I archive these in way so the are still available, if necessary, to search, but don't load and slow down my mail app.

    Over the years and upgrading machines, I now have over 20k of emails in the import mailboxes within several folders. How can I archive these in way so the are still available, if necessary, to search, but don't load and slow down my mail app.

    Ok Thank you.
    I wont worry now.
    Just maybe dig in deep and delete the deleted mails that are still around and that will hopefully clean it up a bit.
    Many thanks for your help and advice.

  • Why is the "From:" field being changed in Mac Mail.  I have multiple gmail accounts setup and it seems to change the "FROM" field even though I've selected which account to use to send the email.

    So
    I've got multiple gmail accounts setup in Mac Mail.
    Somtimes when I send or forward emails, it uses the wrong FROM field even though I'm declaring
    specifically which account to use.
    This becomes apparent when the person replies to my message and it goes to the wrong account

    Check you accounts in Mail and make sure each account has the correct outgoing server address. Check the box to use only that server.
    Second, go to the gmail website and in settings under the account tab, make sure you have the correct settings for replying to messages.

  • Gmail labels and hierarchical folders in Mail app

    I may have missed discussion on this, so please point me to the thread where this is mentioned. Something I just noticed is that labels I create in Gmail (from the Web interface) that have slashes in their names are interpreted in the iPhone/iPod 3.0 Mail app as parent and child (hierarchical), giving me actual sub-folders! I have a label in Gmail named "Money/Bank", and in the label listing for my Gmail account in the Mail app on my iPod touch, it shows "Money" as a grayed-out item, and "Bank" as an indented sub-folder with a slightly smaller folder icon. Can't touch the gray item, but I can touch and load up all the mail archived in the sub-folder. A very nice way to organize archived Gmail mail on my iPod! Of course, I now fully expect someone to reply with "Jeez...where have YOU been?!" Or is this something brand new?

    If you name email folders like that in many programs, it will create two folders (or more)
    It assumes it's a path, just like an operating system does when typing a path.
    If you don't want that, you can name it:

  • How to use alias in "From" field when I send a mail with utl_smtp ?

    Hi all,
    I'm using a PL/SQL package with an Oracle 11G database to send mails. It works fine but instead of use of my mail in "From" field like "[email protected]" as sender E-mail address, I would like to have "Toto" in the sender address. I tryied to use utl_smtp.mail(l_connection, '<toto> [email protected]') but it doesn't work. The only way I can send mail is when I set utl_smtp.mail(l_connection, '<[email protected]>') directly. When I use the Alias, I have an error from smtp server telling that I use a bad syntax address.
    Does someone know how to use the alias ? Where do I do a mistake ?
    Thank you for your help.
    sis2b

    Thank you, I find how to solve the problem thanks to your link.
    I try to send HTML E-mail so I had the From in the from field writen in the header of the mail and not to initialize the connection.

  • Not getting e-mails from wireless cam in Windows 8 Mail App

    Please forgive me if this is not being asked in the correct forum.  I could not find another place that seemed to fit.  Feel free to move it if necessary.
    I have two Linksys Wireless IP Cameras.  Both are configured to detection motion and send an e-mail with 5 pictures to my Live.com e-mail address.
    This configuration has been working for over 1 year and works.  To verify, I get e-mails from the both cameras when I use Internet Explorer and login to http:// mail.live.com  with my live.com (aka Hotmail) email account.
    I upgraded to Windows 8, logged on the very first time with my Microsoft Live account.  From all appearances, it looks like the Windows 8 Mail App was configured to use my live.com e-mail account.  There are message there that I see when I login via
    Internet Explorer.
    The problem is, I never ever get any of the emails that were sent from my Wireless Cameras in the Windows 8 Mail app.
    If I sign in to my live.com email account via Internet Explorer those messages are there.  As a test, while I was looking at one of my emails via Internet Explorer, I forwarded it to myself.  That message with pictures and all did arrive in the Windows
    8 Mail app.
    So, does anyone have any ideas why the Windows 8 Mail app does not get the e-mails sent from my Wireless Cameras?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Normally I do use IE to check my email.  I want to use the new stuff.  Note that the camera is stand alone and not connected to any computers.  It is a wireless IP camera and is configured to send e-mail when it detects motion.  Linksys
    has told me that in general, the camera is compatible with Windows 8 but there are no drivers to plug it in directly to a computer with Window 8.
    You stated that you suspect that the mail app does not support the function.  I'm not sure what you mean by that.  It is a mail application and should present me with any incoming e-mails to my account regardless of where they come from. 
    I know that the camera is working because I can see the message via IE in Windows 8 and in the Mail App on my Windows Phone 7.
    So, if the Windows 8 Mail app does not support the function, why I can view one of the e-mails from my camera using IE in Windows 8 and then forward it to myself at the same e-mail address and then the forwarded message arrives with all the pictures
    attached and is viewable in Windows 8 mail app.
    I have also setup my camera to send e-mail to my work account.  At work we have Exchange and I use Outlook 2010.  I get the messages from the camera in that program without any problems.
    I also get the message using the Windows Phone 7 Mail App.
    I just can't understand why the Windows 8 mail app is ignoring or blocking message that are coming from my cameras.

  • Generating a PDF from a OTF (imported from CLOSE_FORM) and send it by mail.

    Hello!
    I have a problem.
    I'll try to explain it toy you.
    I have a SapScript that the user has the option to send it to the printer or have a Print Preview. I need to send it by mail in PDF format.
    If the user select PRINT, a spool id is created, I can get the OTF, generate the PDF and send it by mail. Everything OK with that.
    The problem is if the user select PRINT PREVIEW I don't get a spool id. So, what I did is to get the OTF from the CLOSE_FORM MF and generate de PDF from there. I tried several FM to generate the PDF but for sure I'm doing something wrong, because or the PDF is corrupted or I have a problem with the parameters in the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 FM.
    So, what I need it: Generate a PDF from a OTF imported from CLOSE_FORM FM and send it by mail.
    Examples or the FM I can use are welcome.
    I tried to do search here, but I couldn't find anything that may help me..
    So, please... Show me the light!!!

  • Cyrillic Subject Encoding in Mail.app

    I have a problem with wrong cyrillic subject font on the message list pane in Mail.app
    Though on the message preview pane everything looks well.
    It has been happening with with only some emails, but it's quite disappointing...
    Can you please advise any workaround for this issue?

    etresoft wrote:
    That is just incorrectly encoded on the sender's side. From the other headers, it looks like a Microsoft bug. Apple Mail is displaying what it receives. The subject line is a plain text header. To include any non-ASCII on the subject line it must be encoded as I have shown above. Otherwise, there is no way to tell that the characters should be something else in Cyrillic.
    That's correct.  On the other hand,  a more robust Mail could guess the subject encoding from the body charset, which it apparently does when displaying the full message, but not in the message list.

  • Fetch data from table and generate attachment than mail it.

    Hello Experts,
    From couple of day I am searching on Google for a better database procedure that will help me to get data from tables and generate attachment and mail it but i fail.
    My Scenario is:
    I have a query that will fetch almost 5000 records from database tables. Each record has almost 75 characters
    select a.location_code,
                   a.item_code,
                   b.description item_desc,

  • SMTP very slow/errors and times out in mail.app

    I have a series of account set up that are working great except for my work mail (exchange IMAP). The server it's on is pretty slow, and this is complicated in mail app as I get constant SMTP send errors "the server rejected the address...." it's very intermittent - I can have an hour where everything sends just fine, and others where it just doesn't work. Connection doctor takes at least 10 seconds to successfully connect.
    Is there a way to adjust the time out value on mail.app so that it doesn't immediately fail to send?

    Let us separate between the intermittent SMTP errors and the slowing down for the time being. What happens (and how long it takes) when you open a shell and connect to the SMTP server ? For example, try something like this:
    ]# telnet smtp.google.com 25 (if your smtp server is imap google)
    try to send a simple message and see how long it takes, e.g.
    helo smtp.google.com
