HT1277 Mac Mail previous conversation as HTML attachment

Receiver using Windows outlook will receive my mail of previous conversation as html attachment. How to change things to conversation format? Anyone can help>?

Change your Preferences > Composing option to Plain Text, and disable the "Use the same message format as the original message" option in that same window. If you want to always see mail in Plain Text, regardless of how the sender composed it, execute this command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool true
Then quit Terminal and restart Mail for the change to take effect.

  • Mac mail program with complex HTML and ability to send hyperlinks?

    Alright, here is the issue I've been struggling with forever.
    I'm responsible for sending out my band's emails to our mailing list. I need to add hyperlinks and insert pictures that will show up in the body of the email for both mac and PC users.
    In Mac mail with Panther, my hyperlinks come out fine for both Macs and PC users. However, my inserted pictures show up in the body of the email only for other Mac users. Most PC users only see the pics as attachments not in the body of the email.
    I've also tried Entourage X, but the opposite problem occurs. Using HTML mode, my pictures always show up in the body of the email for both PC and Mac users, but when I'm in HTML mode there is no way to add hyperlinks.
    What is my solution here? Does anyone use other email programs that would allow me to fix the problem. Perhaps I need to compose complex HTML messages in order to ensure hyperlinks and pics appear in the body of emails? If you agree with this, where would I begin to learn how to do this?
    Please help!

    I have been searching for how to create custom HTML emails in Mail, in a way that would work with OS 10.3 and 10.4, so as not to rely on the user having Tiger. After reading through many posts, I came up with a script that creates a new HTML message that you can still edit in Mail itself before sending, and you don't need Safari 2. I'm new to scripting so please let me know if this is useful.
    Jodain
    Part I: defines the HTML code; you can make something in the script itself as long as the string this_html ends up in proper formatting. I actually came up with this primarily for pasting most the html code in the script itself, with a few changing variables. If you do paste or type html code in the script, make sure you use \\ for every \, and \" for every ". If you're using TextEdit to alter the html, use find and replace in that order (\:\\ then ":\").
    Part II: builds a message in Mail with the html content... an undocumented property of a Mail message. However, it only works when visibility is false, so unless you send it right away, the user is not able to still type the recipients and edit the body in Mail as he/she might be used to. Which brings me to...
    Part III: takes the saved draft and opens it up for editing. The open command only lets you view the message, even if it is outgoing, so I had to come up with a work-around so you can still edit as if you're composing it for the first time.
    --Part I
    tell application "Safari" to set this_html to source of document 1
    tell application "Safari" to set this_page to name of document 1
    --Part II
    tell application "Mail"
    activate
    set theMsg to make new outgoing message with properties ¬
    {subject:this_page, html content:this_html & ¬
    return & return, content:""}
    tell theMsg to make new to recipient
    save theMsg
    --Part III
    if not (exists the front message viewer) then make new ¬
    message viewer
    tell front message viewer
    set selected mailboxes to {the drafts mailbox}
    set sort column to date received column
    set sorted ascending to false
    delay 3
    set selected messages to {first message}
    tell application "System Events" to tell process ¬
    "Mail" to keystroke return
    end tell
    end tell

  • I have a macbook pro with Lion OS and am using Mac mail.  How do I attach documents as attachments instead of coming up in the body of the email?

    How do I attach a file to mac mail without it going into the body of the email?

    To add to what Kappy said, note that you really can't control how some other mail client might display an attachment.  Some may display them inline, while others may require them to be opened separately.  And different people have different desires in this area...  some want a PDF file, for example, displayed inline, while others prefer for it not to be.  Just attach the file(s) and don't worry about this so much.
    Also, I do have to disagree with Kappy on one point...  I would not say that you "should" compress files and attach the compressed archive file.  That will force all mail clients not to display the attachment inline, but not everyone will want that (you'd be forcing your tastes on all recipients of your e-mail), and some people have difficulty figuring out how to open and view the contents of compressed files.  It's an extra step for you and an extra step for the recipient, and is not needed for most popular file types.  (Of course, we could advise you more specifically if we knew what file types you're dealing with.)

  • Mac Mail & MS Word share as attachment

    Hi,
    Just noticed a bug.  If you use the MS Word File -> Share -> E-Mail (As Attachment) it attaches the document to a new Mac mail message but removes any images from your existing e-mail signature.
    Can anyone reproduce this?  I have it on two iMac's so far and it's rather annoying.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Do you had any feedback on this ?
    I have the same issue, the images in the signature seems to be send as attachment in tiff image file format in the new e-mail.
    Regards.

  • Mac Mail 5.3 Won't attach PDFs Launched from Acrobat or MYOB

    I thought this was an Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.7 issue - when I open a PDF in Acrobat and click "Share" > "Attach To Email" - Mac Mail does launch but the new email window is blank and I get an error message in Adobe Acrobat "An error occurred while trying to create a mail document.  Acrobat is unable to complete your request.". So I posted this originally on the Adobe community forum.
    However, I just tried to send a pdf straight out of my MYOB accounting software and the same thing happened.
    Never had any issues before, and send pdfs all day every day this way.
    Have cleared all cache in all applications.
    Have cleared font cache.
    Have run Disk Doctor and repaired disk permissions.
    Trying to avoid reinstalling software.
    Anyone else had this issue?

    Thanks Michael, have tried that, no luck. I will wait a couple of days to see if any other solutions come up (or if anyone else is suddenly having the same issue) before reinstalling Acrobat.
    [OK just tried sending a PDF attachment directly from another program (MYOB) through to Mac Mail and had the same problem so it is not an Acrobat issue afterall, it is a Mac Mail or Mac OS X issue. Will post this on the Apple site.]
    I have resolved the MYOB issue, it was working just painfully slow. So I still have the original Acrobat Pro PDF to Mac Mail issue if anyone knows of any solutions please?

  • How do YOU manage Mac Mail Previous Recipients?

    i am running into a bit of a workflow issue as i try and finally conquer my contact/database. (BTW i am on Lion on the Mac Pro and ML on the MBP FWIW.)
    i am trying to figure a way to either add NEW EMAIL ADDRESSES to my Mac Contacts/Address Book or to add these to my CARDSCAN database. the CardScan database i am using to organized all my business cards while my MAC CONTACTS/ADDRESS BOOK i use primarily to make phone calls.
    Window  > "Previous Recipients" is ostensibly a list of anyone that i have REPLIED TO. however, this database resides solely upon the computer on which you have Mac Mail installed on (i.e. i have hundreds of these on my Mac Pro and for some odd reason i only have one on my MBP). BTW another interesting question is whether there is a set of these on my iPhone or if/where it draws this information from for autocomplete in MAIL on the IPHONE.
    anyway, i have a script that will add all my PREVIOUS RECIPIENTS to my MAC ADDRESS BOOK/CONTACTS into a single folder so that i can get the data from the MAC PRO into AB/CONTACTS so that both the iPhone and my Mac Pro can use this information for autocompleting email. however, this seems like a very temporary stopgap measure.
    is the correct way to manage this to go one by one through each Previous Recipient, Add the one's that i want to AB/Contacts through the add functionality - at which point i can /see/ that this contact has been added to AB? if so, is there a way to do this so that my hundreds of EMAIL ADDRESSES don't totally pollute my CONTACTS on my iphone where i make phone calls? i mean, i want this data accessible to MAIL AUTOCOMPLETE but i don't really want to have to wade through all of these to get to a phone number.
    also, while the script that i have will send them all to a folder this does not mark them as added to AB and it is confusing to me as to how i manage this when NEW previous recipients are in the list.
    and do you have a problem with a PREVIOUS RECIPIENT email address overwriting a contact with the same name that is a PHONE NUMBER in AB/Contacts?
    TIA for any help or links to good urls on this etc.

    Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
    Select:  Play user interface sound effects
    In Mail. From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Select:  Play sounds for other mail actions
    And make a sound selection from the New Messages Sound pop up menu.

  • How do I send .jpg from Mac Mail (5.2) as an attachment to Outlook?

    I'm trying to send some photos to an Outlook email address.  They're telling me the photos are embedded.  When I send the email with .jpg's "attached" they show on my end as embedded and are received by the Outlook user as such.  How do I go about getting a .jpg to attach like a .pages or .pdf file?  Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

  • HT1277 Mac Mail receiving but not sending. smtp not working

    I have been using Mac Mail with my Gmail account without any trouble for the last few years and just for the last 2-3 weeks I cannot send any e-mails. I am receiving without any problems, but no matter what I do it won't send, not even an e-mail to myself. My Calendar is set up to send my notifications and those won't even go. I have verified my settings (time and time again), I deleted and reset-up my account, in the last two weeks I have done everything I can, but can't figure it out so I am getting kind of desperate. I am sure that it is something to do with smtp but all of my settings for that are right too (in accordance to the Gmail and Apple sites). What I have done is just read and responded to my e-mails (when I do it offline) and then I have to log into my gmail account and copy/paste ALL of my e-mails manually, which I am sure you can imagine is extremely inefficient. Thank you to anyone who can help!
    Running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 and accessing Gmail

    Here is a screen shot too, not that it says much, but this is what I always get, no matter the settings (since they are all correct! OH! I guess I should also mention that I currently live in Africa and that I am using my Blackberry Bold as a modem to get internet on my computer, but I have been doing that since last year and never had a problem until now.
    Also, I did just very recently (as in a couple weeks ago), insert a new modem to my computer to try a second method of getting the internet on my computer other than my phone, and it didn't really work so I am back to just the phone again... would that simple installation have anything to do with Mail not sending e-mail? I can't imagine that it would, But I have seen stranger things.

  • Mac Mail v4.1 stalls after attaching a Word document

    I have had intermittent trouble when attaching a Word doc onto an email. Right after the attachment is made, if I click back into the email body to continue typing, Mail stalls. This has occurred since the upgrade to Snow Leopard.

    I think you may be misundestanding. It freezes up just after the attachment is inserted - meaning, I get the dreaded spinning wheel. I have to force quit. When I reopen Mail, the message window reappears, but without the attachment. So I reattach, and typically it works, as long as I don't try to amend the message.

  • Where's the conversation in mac mail?

    Where's the conversation in mac mail? Like in Gmail. Mac Mail in conversation mode only shows one side of the 'conversation'. You have to go to the sent folder to the see the other side. Anyone know of way to change the view? Sparrow mail even has both sides of the conversation in the in box. Surprised mail is lacking this.

    Go to Preferences > Viewing and check "Include Related Messages". Mail randomly turned this off for me recently and I had to find it and turn back on.

  • NEW (?) Window Previous Recipients Sync in Mac Mail?

    i am about to sit down and manually transcribe my Mac Mail previous recipients into Contacts because there did not seem to be any way to get this into into Mac Mail under an individual group (I don't want hundreds of email address only contacts mixed up with my phone numbers but i DO want Mail on my iphone to be able to autocomplete with these addresses...) and i just want to check that there is not an easier way to do this than doing it manually.
    i have three or four hundred of these so any help would be appreciated.
    workarounds such as getting this data to GMAIL would be really great as well.
    thanks!

    And, some progress but more strangeness. After trying all else and deciding I might as well take the time to try the nuclear option, I opted for Rebuiding.  That worked, after a fashion, but not as expected:
    The two messages which had originally appeared only on the iPad now also were present in Mail.app, unchanged in terms of content, time stamps, etc.
    Of the two which had been only in Mail.app on the iMac, one disappeared but was discovered in Deleted Messages. The other one was still in the Inbox, but a new timestamp, about 8 or so hours earlier than the one originally showing, caused it to be displayed much further down in the list.
    A Mail guru might be able to divine some clues from the above. I've noticed occasional and brief disconnects between the two platforms before, but nothing this obvious or with this duration

  • Sending pdfs from Mac Mail to Outlook

    I have users that are sending pdfs from mac mail to outlook and the attachements are not going through.  All you see is the paperclip and nothing else.  This has just started happening.  I am telling the users to send emails as plain text with windows friendly attachement as well as to put the attachment in the email.  Anyone have any idea how to fix this.  There are some unhappy users.
    Thank you for the help
    Jeff

    Outlook for Mac has no option to import from Apple's Mail application. The best suggestion I can offer is that you use an IMAP account to transfer your messages.
    Get a free Gmail IMAP account from Google and connect to the account in Mail. Drag your messages into the account to copy them to the server.
    Connect to the same account in Outlook and copy your messages from the server to folders under On My Computer.
    Another option is to get a third party tool that are available online.
    One tool that I am familiar with is Apple Mail Export
    Or you can find more on
    google or
    yahoo for more results
    Hope this helps!
