How can I add text to a reply message on Mac

When replying to an email message via the Mail.app (on Mac), I would like my lines to have my name at the beginning of the line, and have it in a different font (similar to what Outlook does).
I was thinking of writing an AppleScript that will insert my mail, and change its font. The script will be bound to some shortcut.
1. Is there a script / option that is already doing it?
2. If not - how can I insert specific text into the current place in an existing email, preferably not by writing it somewhere else and simulating command-v?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. The line that you mention is added at the top of the message, and includes the original sender's email. I would like my name to appear, next to each line I add in the text of the original mail.
For example:
Assuming my name is Joe Smith, what I would like to have as the final reply is described below.
The lines that start with "[Joe Smith]" are my replies, to the original items in the original mail.

How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How can I add metadata to iWeb pages hosted on .mac?

How can I add title/description/keyword metadata to my website?
Is there an easy solution?
I publish my site to my .mac account.
Any direction would be appreciated. I work in the web marketing industry, so it bugs me not being able to add metadata to my site.
Thanks!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

So I find the folder: Welcome_files for example
Then do I open up the Welcome.js file using text
editor?
When I add the metadata, then do I Save As and put
the file back into the Welcome_files folder?
Actually every page like Welcome has a Welcome.html file and then a folder "Welcome_files". The file you want to edit is the Welcome.html file. Not anything in the folder.
Do I need to Publish again, or is that process
automatic since the site is pulling from down from my
iDisk?
Nope don't publish again. That would just overwrite you changes again. Just save the file in the same place and you're done.
Will I have to re-enter metadata every time that the
page changes, or every time the site changes?
Anytime iWeb thinks the page needs to be republished, your edited file will be overwritten.

How can I add the Happy Birthday widget to my mac?

How can I add the "Happy Birthday" widget to my dashboard?

Open a Finder window and click on the Macintosh HD on the left under Devices. One of the folders showing will be the applications folder; drag it onto the dock to the right of the System Preferences icon (individual apps can go to the left, but folders need to be to the right).
Hope that helps.
P.S. Don't forget to update your equipment settings/signature.

How can I add text to a field based on XML tagging?

I'm fairly new to using XML in InDesign layouts, and I'm currently facing an issue getting a bunch of content from database records formatted in a print document (text that flows over dozens of pages). I've figured out how to create an InDesign template, but I need to be able to add text between some of the XML elements in two different scenarios:
1. Add text or line breaks before or after an XML element that always appears in the document. For example: Adding "Description:" before the XML-tagged description content, or adding a return after the last element in a list.
2. Add text before or after an XML element only if it appears in the document. For example: If there's a second phone number, tagged "Phone2" in the XML, then I want " or " to appear before it in the layout. Otherwise there's just one phone number and it continues on to the next piece of content.
I have tried inserting this text into the InDesign template, but keeping them means having to also keep parts of the template that aren't used on every import--so I have a bunch of "or Phone2" bits of text to find and replace afterward. That's OK, but I'd like a more elegant solution that doesn't leave potential mistakes in my layout.
In my preliminary research so far, it looks like an XSLT or scripting might be able to handle this, but I don't know where to start. Can someone tell me if what I'm looking for is possible and suggest the best way to do it? I'm going to have to trial-and-error a solution for this myself.
I am using ID CS6 on a Mac. Thanks in advance for your help.

In aperture, how can I add text on my picture

In aperture, I want to add text ,or a messages to a picture, How can I do this?

What you seem to be referring to is Watermarking your photos. I offer a series of free PDF's on this issue including how to create watermarks in Pixelmator and add them to Aperture so you can export your images with a protective watermark.

Pdf files - how can I add text to a pdf file

I want to allow my Google group to fill info out on a Numbers form, but the Mac users evidently don't have Numbers. I sent it to them as a pdf file, but text can't be added to it as a pdf file. There has got to be a way. I tried using Tools - annotate - add text, but that didn't really work. Any help?

How can I add text (eg a signature) to my images in Aperture

Hi all. I'm using Aperture 3.2.4 I want to add a signature or logo to my images for printing. How can I do this? Do I need to use a plugin? If so, which?

In the Print dialog you can set metadata display options, to display text below the image, also add a watermark. I can only test this in Aperture 3.4.3 right now. I don't remember, if Aperture 3.2.4 could do this also: But look for these options n the Print panel:
The most flexible control you'll have with the BorderFX plug-in. It will let you add formatted text to borders and/or watermarks or text directly on the image- Here is a link:
http://www.iborderfx.com/borderfx/ This version requires MacOS X 10.7 or later. Google for an earlier version, if you have a different MacOS X version.
And last, but not least: Aperture's file export (Flle > Export > Version) lets you add watermark images to the exported image. You set the watermark parameters by creating or editing export presets.

Leonie

How can I add text to a photo?

Is there a way in iPhoto to add text directly to a photo being edited? With my old PC I was able to add text with Microsoft dicital image suite software. Thanks.........Allen

Adding text to a photo is not a feature of iPhoto.
You can do it with
Preview - already on your machine
BorderFX - a free plug-in. (http://www.iborderfx.com/iborderfx/)
or an external editor.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate.
