Garbled text in incoming email

I don't know what is happening but all my text at the top of my email (email address/subject etc.) are coming out in illegable writing (fractions and letters).
I found one posting about a font conflict - helvetica fractions - and I removed it but it still happens. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have had so many problems. Any solutions?

I found one posting about a font conflict - helvetica fractions - and I removed it but it still happens.
The fonts that cause such problems are Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic. Find them and trash them. It is easy to think you have done so but find there are copies still present on your system.
Send me a screenshot to verify the issue if you want (tom at bluesky dot org).

I'm only getting the header and not the text of incoming email messages on my iphone 4. How can I get the text?

Try settings>mail, contacts, calendars>mail>preview and alter to how many lines you wish to preview.

Randomly underlined text in incoming emails

For some reason, in received emails, information is randomly underlined within the message and in the color blue thus causing wording to be a "hyperlink". It prevents me from being able to scroll through the message to read it. How do I get rid of? I am guessing that it must be a setting that I inadvertently enabled? Extremely annoying. I am using a BB Torch. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

My boss just updated his Torch to the lastest software update and now has this same problem. Can someone please help? I hate to have to wipe his device.

Since 10.5.6 upgrade, email messages are garbled text

Hi,
This problem seems to have started with the latest upgrade. My email messages are coming in with garbled text. This happens in my Yahoo account where I will go to the mail website and the text there will be fine. It's only in the mail program.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.

Hi,
I have the same issue.
Although the mails seems to have been downloaded correctly parts of the parts of the message mime information is displayed as part of the mail body.
The only thing that helps is to rebuild the index of the specific mailbox (inbox in my case).
BTW: Mail of iPhone OS does NOT have this problem. Generally it handles mails MUCH better than the real OS X. Strange, isn't it.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

I am just about giving up! I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 4.3. Now when i copy text from an incoming email and paste it it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it.

I am just about giving up! I have upgraded Pages to 0.9 (4.3). Now when I copy text from an incoming email and paste it into Pages it pastes in as an Object and I can't work on it. It has a border round it and corner markers. I have never had this problem before. I have looked at every conceivable thing but cannot find how to get rid of this Object and just paste in the wanted text. If I fiddle and fiddle within this text I can eventually get a cursor and work on the text - but how on earth can I get rid of the surrounding box?
I don't know if this is at all clear but I can't think of any other way to describe this - but it looks like this in Pages with corner and top, bottom and side markers.

Peter hello - I have been copying and pasting for as long as I can remember and it has NEVER done this before - so why now!? Anyway, Jerry has told me about Paste and Match Style --- yet another new thing!
I have also discovered that I don''t need to hold down Option when I go to Save to get Save As - I can hold down 4 keys (shift, option, command and S) and it will bring up Save As!!
Thanks for your response.

the text of my incoming emails is not showing when I tap the message. I probably changed some setting by mistake but I don't know what i did. would like to be able to read my emails on the screen. the 2 line starting area shows fine.

browsing around internet found others have had this problem and recommended turn off/turn on phone, which I did, and that fixed it. at least for now. thanks...

My incoming emailes default to plain text even though view-message body as-originalHTML is checked

Most (not all) of my incoming emails (in particular from one main client's employees) always come in plain text, I want to be able to view all message in HTML format and reply in html format (this is generally fine fr my response, but the trail leaves all their comments in plain text).
I have view-message body as-originalHTML as ticked. Stil doesn't work. I run Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Mac 10.7.5. My server is gmail
FYI, In account settings I have ticked the box 'compose messages in HTML format". Not that that is relevant..

The email client they are using is relevant, and are you sure your getting HTML in the emails (ctrl+U will show message source)
The normal arrangement is if Plain text and HTML are sent they are Plain text, followed by HTML. But having both like that is not a problem.

Assign ringtones to incoming email/text msg

On my LG Env I was alble to assign different ringtones for incoming email/phone/text messages. Any idea how I do that on Droid 2?
Thanks!

For the phone go to the contact, edit, scroll down to additional info, tap the arrow, scroll down to ringtone.
For text you have to have a 3rd party app such as handcent or chomp.
Don't think you can do it for email.

No colors that should be found in text in my incoming emails

I have a new computer and after getting it up and running I've found that my incoming emails from friends that often send part of their mail highlighted in colors now appear to me only in black. I have color enabled in settings. They have said things like, "this sentence is in red" and it only appears black to me. A solution that works would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the opportunity to ask.

>"Allow content to choose its own colors"
That sentence is very deceptive. It implies that it operates on someone ELSES content, ie incoming mail.
There is no indication that it operates on your OWN content. It makes no sense to interpret it as meaning "allow my own content to choose its own colors instead of my own colors chosen above"

Is there a way to change font size in incoming email messages?

In the Mail preferences I see options for changing fonts and sizes for composing email, but is there a way to control incoming font sizes?
Some emails for some reason show up in very tiny fonts when they come into my Mail program
thanks
nick

Hello Nick,
Thank you for the question. You can update the font settings in the Preferences for Mail. By going to Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors, you can update the Message list font and the Message font for easier viewing. The Messages font will only change to the font you select if the sender does not have specific formatting for the text in their email:
Option
Description
Message list font
The font and font size for viewing the list of messages (in classic layout only). Click Select to use a different font.
Message font
The font and font size for writing and viewing messages. Click Select to use a different font.
If the sender used a specific font for a message, that font is used when viewing the message.

How do we change the code of incoming emails?

Prior to downloading the latest version of Firefox, we were able to access the code-changing service via the orange button in the top left corner of the screen.
The latest version has done away with that orange button and its associated drop-down menu, wherein we used to be able to change the transmission code of incoming emails to Unicode.
How can we change the codes now?
It is very disappointing that you make stupid changes without any notification.
What was wrong with the old orange button, that it HAD to be changed?
It appears that some ignorant newbie, who is unaware of what is really going on decides to make a name for himself, making cosmetic changes – simply for the sake of making changes!!!
Whenever changes are made, they firstly should be absolutely necessary; and secondly your users should be notified of the implications of any changes.
The current disregard of customers is just not good enough!!!
Since the loss of the orange button, we have been forced to perform the tedious, time-consuming task of editing each email which is to be stored, removing all the ASCI-type codes from the text. Previously, Firefox altered the transmission code on request – MUCH simpler & MUCH quicker & MUCH more convenient!!!
How are we supposed to get Firefox to do the change?? Pray tell.

Hi, I am sorry that you do not like the changes in Firefox 29. I would be happy to help you with the problem that you have.
Mozilla did not completely remove the menu function that you are talking about. If you look at the top left side of the browser you will see an icon with three horizontal lines. This has the same function as the Firefox button that you talked about. It is customizable and takes up less space when configured this way. That was the rational behind the change. From this point you click on options. After that it is all the same. I hope this helps. If you are really unhappy with the changes to Firefox 29 I wold recommend that you let Mozilla know.
