How do I open links in Mail using the keyboard?

Hi,
I would like to know how to, when I view a message on Mail 5 on Lion, I can open a link in the message with the keyboard only?

If you have a numeric keyboard, this should work:

How can I open links from mail in the background?

I receive a lot of digest emails with lots of links. I would like to be able to click all of the links in a given email, have Safari open those pages in the background, and then when I'm done selecting the links I can switch to Safari and read them all. It's a logical workflow for me: click all the links you want to read, THEN go read them.
But instead, every single time I click on a link it jumps to Safari, so I have to switch back to Mail, click on the next link (which again jumps to Safari), etc. NetNewsWire allows me to open all my links in the background so I can avoid all this switching back and forth--can Mail do the same thing?
Thanks in advance for any help ...

You should be able to Command-click on the link in Mail and have it open in the background.

I am unable to "open link behind mail" using Mac Mail now. It used to work fine, and just clicking works but not right clicking to open behind mail. Please help

This used to work on my Mac using Firefox and Mac Mail but now it doesn't. Opening regular links are unaffected. I can still click and open easily. This only happens when I try to use the feature, to open links behind mail. When I right click nothing happens. Nothing is opened.

Hi GetPaulHoward,
Thank you for posting your question to the SUMO support forum, however I am not sure this pretains to Mozilla. There is a help forum you can contact at Apple.

Hope this helps.

How do I open a PDF attachment using the Open In function from iPad mail

I Am trying to open a PDF document from my mail. In previous versions of the iOS (presently I am on 7.1.1) the open in feature of the email re organised that you had an rhe adobe reader installed and allowed you to select this to open the document. Thiis no longer working for me.

The functionality certainly has not gone away with iOS 7. What do you see when you attempt this (and how do you go about it)?
Only thing I can recommend off hand is to try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Filing mail using the keyboard?

I have recently switched to Apple Mail, which I have to say is very fast - much faster than Thunderbird. It's very slick and I'm very happy with it.
On Thunderbird I had a really useful add-on with which I could file mail into a specific folder simply by using a keyboard shortcut. I would then be presented an auto-completing text box where I would start to type in the name of the folder where I wanted the message filed.
Is there an equivalent facility in Apple Mail? I can use the mouse of course, but it's so much slower.
Thanks in advance.

In that case, then you're going to feel better using stuff like MailTags or Act-on. I prefer smartfolders because the are... smart ?
Having Unread, Flagged, Today, Yesterday, 3 days, week, month, last month, Threads, Recently Viewed, Recently Sent, Co-Workers, Family, Friends, Attachments, 2007, 2006, ..2005, etc... I think that I make an interesting use of the smart folders. But, of course, this cannot apply to your IMAP setup and desire to replicate this on every application (Web, iPhone, etc.)
Good Luck then!

How does one put Mac to sleep using the keyboard (Lion)

I have put my Mac to sleep by pressing command, option & the eject key. Screen goes blank/dark compter a sleep. I have noticed this not longer works. The screen goes blank but come right back on. Has that command been eliminated in recent 'upgrades'?

that still works for me.

Pausing ITunes Playback Using The Keyboard

Friends,
When playing a song in ITunes, I can stop playback by moving the mouse over the pause button in the top left-hand corner of the ITunes window, and left-clicking. How can I accomplish this same action using the keyboard?
Thanks much,
Tom Hesley

Looks like hitting the space bar actuates the play / pause button in ITunes.

"open links behind mail" feature doesn't work

Since migrating to Yosemite, I can no longer use "open links behind mail" feature.
The links do open directly to Safari or Chrome on top of mail.
But the "Open links behind mail" won't launch, regardless if the browser is open or not. I see it, it clicks, but nada... nothing ;-(
This feature always worked before migrating to Yosemite.
Any suggestions?

Open links behind mail

Since migrating to Yosemite, I can no longer use "open links behind mail" feature. Apparently this is a bug and I see complaints about it going back to Oct 2013 at least. Does anyone know if Apple EVER fixed this problem?

Bad syntax on my part. It's the right click Contextual menu. But I use it so much it's a shortcut for me, Sorry for the improper terminology.
No problem. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I thought that maybe the problem was a missing shortcut which I was unaware of. I have the contextual menu, and it works. If there was a shortcut, I didn't have it and thought that maybe that was what everybody is having a problem with.
Do you have the contextual menu item? Or does it just not work? I've seen some posts where the contextual menu is missing altogether.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Mail won't "open link behind mail" in Mavericks

Is anyone else having this problem? I get weekly digests from a number of groups as well as google alerts. My usual workflow is to read through the digest right-clicking on any links that I am interested in and selecting "open link behind mail". When I do this in Mavericks... nothing happens! Safari opens but it does not load the page. so that means that now I am stuck swiping backwards and forwards between Safari and mail - opening a link, then back to mail to open the next one.

I have the same problem with mail that I receive from LinkedIn groups that I follow. I found that if you press and hold the Command and Option keys when you click a link it will open behind mail, in Safari.

Not opening links from mail - firefox turns grey at bottom

firefox usually opens links from "mail" in a new tab. Sometimes
firefox greys out and will not allow links to open. Clearing history
or restarting firefox solves the problem somettimes. Multiple restarts
may be required.

I suggest you to file a bug report regarding this issue: https://bugreport.apple.com/
I can confirm that Safari has serious issues with opening links from other applications. For example Content Guide links in Quicktime Player opens empty windows.
