No, no, smercurio. This is charcter encoding here. In older versions of LabVIEW you could specify what character encoding to use when sending an email through the SMTP VIs. But that gave problems since people in certain locales used certain characters that where not transfered right when the wrong encoding was specified, and that encoding stuff is not understood by most people at all, so the wrong selected encoding was rather the rule than the exception. In newer versions of LabVIEW do the SMTP VIs handle the encoding automatically based on the currently used locale on the system.
This change is documented in the Upgrade Notes of LabVIEW and probably happened around LabVIEW 7.1 or 8.0.
A decent mail client will recognize the encoding and convert it back to whatever is necessary before presenting it to the user. The OPs posters server application obviously isn't a smart mail client but probably just some crude text file parser that has no notion of proper mail character encoding and how to deal with it.
I would suppose that there is a chance to dig into the SMTP VIs itself and try to manipulate or disable that encoding altogether in there but that may open a whole can of worms somewhere else. The proper way would be to process the incoming mail by a character encoding aware mail client before passing it to the text parser. On Unix setting up something like this would be fairly trivial.

Thunderbird, enable wrap plain text messages at 72 characters.
Hello!
I would like to have Thunderbird to wrap my messages at 72 characters. It was possible earlier, but with the 3.0B1Pre it doesn't do it.
In <Preferences - Composition>, there is something called 'Wrap plain text messages at [ 72 ] characters'. There is no check box to enable it.
Is it possible to enable this feature? Have searched around a bit, without any luck.
Orjanp...Try to look in about:config for:

With "Download Headers" option checked, opening plain text emails results in cropped body text
When I open raw plain text emails (i.e. not formatted as HTML) I only see the first
255 characters of the email body; all of the remainder is chopped off, and never appears no matter how many times I re-open the email.
I have narrowed this down to my somewhat unusual download preferences in Outlook. They are configured as follows:
Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
I know the email text is there in full, because when I point my web browser at OWA, I can see the full body.
If at first I choose Mark to Download and then Process Marked Headers, I can then open the plain text email and see the body in full.
When I open HTML emails I have no problems, regardless of whether the email download was forced or not.
This issue existed on my old Office 2010 installation for XP too. It persists now I have upgraded to Office 2013 on Win 7.
This is not an acknowledged issue yet within the Outlook team (in fact, a possibly related issue was
reported by someone else 3 months ago but suggested to be a font corruption issue, which is incorrect).
It seems like Outlook just forgets to download the full text for plain text emails when opening them. It's repeatable every time, so it doesn't seem like a race condition. (To reproduce: set your Inbox download preferences as above, then send
yourself a plain text email, wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing and then open the new email).
We use a 3rd party provider (Cobweb) for our email service and I believe they are using Exchange 2013.
We use ESET Smart Security Suite and I have tried disabling the scanner for that but see no change in the outcome. I would appreciate if anyone without ESET could try to reproduce these steps for themselves and confirm.
Starting Outlook in Safe Mode does not solve it.
Note: I already asked this
question at the Office Community site and it was suggested I
post on the Exchange Server Outlook Clients forum. The feedback there suggested it to be client related, so now I've been directed to post here!
Thanks,
MarcelHi Melon, thanks for your response.
My plain text font is set up as the default, Automatic.
In any case, I can see the first 255 characters of the plain text body, so plain text font colour can be eliminated as a potential problem.
After the 255th character, the body text then stops. There are no "hidden characters". If I shrink the window height to accommodate just what I see, the vertical scrollbar does not appear. This confirms that there are no hidden lines of text
below.
The mail is simply not downloaded from the server correctly. If I drag the mail onto my desktop, then view that file in Programmer's Notepad, I can see that after the position representing the 255th character in the body of the email, there is garbage (control
characters).
If, instead, I first mark the email for downloaded and then click the "process marked headers", wait for it to download and then drag it onto my desktop, by contrast, the body contents look complete and this is reflected in the fact that I can
see the whole email when I open it in Outlook.
This problem has so far affected me on four different PC setups (1xWinXP, 3xWin7) and two versions of Outlook (2010 and 2013). However, Cobweb -- our cloud email provider -- did recently upgrade to Exchange 2013, so that might be an important factor.
I don't think I can remember seeing these plain text issues in the 10 years previous to that upgrade during which I've been using various flavours of Outlook.
I have supplied repro steps in the original report above. Could someone please try these? I have expanded them in full below for simplicity:
To reproduce:
1. Change your download preferences in Outlook. They are configured from the ribbon bar as follows (assuming you are using Outlook in Cached Exchange mode, connecting to Exchange 2013):
Send/Receive -> Download Preferences -> Download Headers (checked).
2. Send yourself a plain text email containing more than 300 characters of text.
3. Wait for the Inbox headers to finish refreshing.
4. Open the new email.
Result: The email body will be truncated at the 255th character.
Expected: The email body should show all the characters. -
Formatting plain text messages
Is there any way to write plain text so that Outlook will turn certain words into a specific hyperlink or will format other words (bold and/or underlined) when it displays the message? Specifically, I am using the "additional text" field
of a resource mailbox in Exchange 2010, which is plain text. If I type a URL into the text (e.g., http://www.somesite.com), Outlook will pick up on that and format that text as a working hyperlink in the message the recipient sees.
From this plain text input, I would like to be able to have the recipient's Outlook format a specific phrase as a hyperlink. For example I want Outlook to format the words "Click here" to be a working hyperlink to http://www.somesite.com
without actually displaying the URL in the message. Additionally, I would like to be able to have Outlook make other words or phrases bold and/or underlined.
Is it possible to write plain text so that the recipient's Outlook would pick up the desired formatting and display it the way I want?
Thank you very much for your help.Hi,
As we are talking about Plain text, we can neither add hyperlinks to text nor format the text, Plain text doesn't support bold, italic, colored fonts, or other text formatting.
If you are editing a HTML or Rich Text email, I suppose you can try Quick Parts or AutoCorrect feature, either may meet your need:

I use Mail 3.6 and some incoming email messages start with
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
then go on to 200+ lines of alphanumerics (mostly upper and lower case letters).
What causes this problem, how can I fix it?
Text encoding is set to Automatic, and I'm not using any fancy fonts. Senders are usually
sending from PCS that may well use Outlook.

DECODING MAIL FROM WEB SERVER IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT(THE MAIL BEING SENT BY LABVIEW APPLICATION)
Hi All
I have a labview application that send mail every hour automatically.
But actually the mail has to be decoded from the web server(by another application).But now when that application decode the data in the mail(that is send by labview application)its getting some funny characters inside that can not be detected by the decoding application
(When open the mail no problem.)But actually our goal is to decode the mail from the web server.
Why the extra characters are appearing when decoding from the server?Is it because of the HTML format?
Is there option to send the mail in plain text format(not like attachment)?
In outlook we can change the setting (tools->options->send->mail sending format->....here we can set as HTML format/Plain Text format)
Like that at the sending time can i chenge the sending option as plain text format in my labview application?
Thanks...smercurio_fc wrote:

IPhoto sends emails in Rich format even if the default format is Plain Text
Detailed Summary (wouldn't fit in the Topic Subject):
iPhoto will always send emails in Rich Text format even if Mail application is set to send all emails in Plain Text format. In other words, emails initiated from iPhoto ignore the selected Message Format setting in the Mail application.
Description:
It is a better practice to email photos in the Plain Text format instead of Rich Text format so recipients using different email clients can easily download attached pictures as regular attached files.
The workaround is to change the email format to Plain Text before sending it. This wouldn't be such a problem if you could make this a permanent setting however this is not possible. The Mail application has a specific setting for this but iPhoto simply ignores it. This is the issue I am raising here.
How to reproduce the problem:
1. Open the Mail application (Assuming you already have an email account configured)
2. Go to Preferences, Composing tab
3. Change Message Format to "Plain Text"
4. Optional step to verify that the Plain Text is now the default format: Start a new email. Click on menu Format and you'll see "Make Rich Text" available, which means the current email is in fact in Text Format. Close this email.
5. Open iPhoto
6. Select one or more photos and click on the "Email" icon on the lower right hand side
7. A details popup will open, click on "Compose Message"
8. The Mail application will open as well as a New Email window with the Subject field filled out and the selected photos in the email body
9. Click on the menu Format
Expected: Th last option should be "Make Rich Text" indicating that the current email is in Plain Text format as determined by the Mail settings (steps 1-5 above)
Actual: Last option is "Make Plain Text" which means the current email is fact in the Rich Text format which does not match the Mail application settings.
Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue? Also, is there a fix for this? It is not an acceptable solution to tell users to manually select Plain Text for every email. I am tired of asking people to resend emails that way. That is a workaround, not a solution.
Test details:
- Mail Version 4.4 (1082)
- iPhoto Version 8.1.2 (424)
- OSX Version 10.6.5iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback to report a bug.
Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue?
Need to ask Apple that one.

Mail Messages appear only as plain text
Somehow my default is set to view Mail in plain text. To see a message as it was formatted, I have to select View/Message/Next Alternative. I have to do this with every message, even those I've previously opened and went through the View/Message/Next Alternative selection.
How can I see messages as they were formatted without having to go through the menu routine each time?
I'm using system 10.6.6.If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flashblock</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

Word 2010 - I can only paste as plain text. Paste with source formatting is mising.
I am using Word 2010 (version 14.0.7143.5000).
I started writing a document with different formatting/styles. If I copy formatted text from this document and try to do a paste special, I only have the option to paste as un-formatted plain text. My different paste options are gone. This
used to work.
I have performed Windows Update patches recently. I do not have Skype or any Skype plug-ins installed that I am aware of. I tried running Word in safe mode and without any web browsers open.
Any ideas?I eventually figured out the problem. The problem was not in Word or a setting within Word. The problem was that I had other programs open that were modifying the data in the clipboard, specifically Windows Remote Desktop and Tight VNC viewer.
They were converting the data in the clipboard to plain text without my knowledge. So once I closed VNC and change Remote Desktop not to share the clipboard between machines, the data in the clipboard kept its formatting and the different Paste
options in Word returned. Hopefully this information will help others with this problem. -

View mail messages as plain text by default in Mail (7.0)
It appears as if Apple removed this very useful feature.
I prefer to look at e-mail in plain text. It gets rid of ridiculous formatting choices and inline images and most importantly, web bugs. So I've always set my mail clients to disable any kind of formatting and display the messages in plain text.
I can't do that in Mavericks Mail.app, at least as far as I can tell.
Bad choice, Apple.Most mailers recognize plain text and html, and that's all they're expected to do. If you need a special feature like that you'll have to script it yourself.

Hi.
It seems as if the current version of Mail for Exchange is unable to show e-mails in plain text format. They show up as empty e-mails while those in html format display correctly.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

How to send a plain text and HTML email at once?
Hi all,
I'm attempting to use cfmailpart to send a HTML and plain text email all in the same cfmail script. I'm using Outlook and Gmail to test. I temporarily changed my Outlook settings to "read all standard mail in plain text," but it does not read the plain text cfmailpart of the email, it just attempts to format the text from the HTML email and display the links. If I remove the HTML cfmailpart from my cfmail script, the plain text version is delivered, but Outlook removes extra line breaks that I actually want to keep intact, and some of the other formatting is improperly rendered. Is there a better way to make sure email clients hold the plain text formatting (even though there really isn't any formatting with plain text) and a better way to test? The HTML version looks great in both Gmail and Outlook.
Thanks!Use the wraptext attribute of the cfmailpart tag to add line breaks.

Auto_master, mounting afp shares without username/password in plain text?
Hi,
i'm trying to mount afp-shares from a Synology Diskststation and an Airport Time Capsule via the automountd.
I've modified the /etc/auto_master as follows:
# Automounter master map
+auto_master # Use directory service
/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
/Synology /etc/auto_afp -nosuid
I've created the /etc/auto_afp:
iTunes -fstype=afp afp://"Username":"Password"@DiskStation.local/iTunes
Data -fstype=afp afp://"Username":"Password"@AirPort.local/Data
Providing Username and Password works fine, but is there a way to make this work without the Username and Password in plain text?
Thank you.An applescript application set as a user login item should be a better choice.
I'm just about to work this out for an SMB mount of a users Windows home (augmented AFP homes are breaking preventing the 'Mount UNC path' option in the AD plugin).
Post back if you still want info.
