HTML typed in email messages

Hello, I'm new to Macs - love them! I have been able to drag and drop web addresses into the body of my emails, but I can't type in an address and have it hyperlink, as I am used to in Windows. As this insert shows: www.apple.com , the message does not highlight for click on direction to internet address. How do I set this preference in my computer (new G4 Powerbook 12") Doc Hoop.

To add a hyperlink such as Click Here in place of the full URL - http://www.apple.com/ select/highlight the text you want to convert to a hyperlink and at the menu bar, go to Edit and select Add Hyperlink.
Insert the full URL including http:// in the box provided and when finished, select OK.
The previously selected/highlighted text will be active and underlined before the message is sent.
When inserting a URL/internet address within the body of a message, you must include http:// and the URL will not become active until after the message is sent.

How do I disable all HTML in incoming email messages?

I just switched from Thunderbird to Mail and discovered that I cannot disable HTML rendering in email.
I don't want to turn off only images. I want all HTML commands to be ignored.
Most HTML is an annoyance, esp. with all the bad web designers who put gray text on a white background among other things.
For now, it's back to Thunderbird.

The solution is to go back to using a more configurable email client (Thunderbird) until Mail.app is fixed. Configurability is often my top criterion in picking a software application.
You can tell Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
But I don't think it is realistic to think Mail is ever going to conform to your desires, so you should continue to use whatever app works best for you. There are many requests in these forums for Mail to be enhanced so people can produce and send html more easily, and a very tiny number who want receiving it disabled.

How to turn of HTML tags in Email Messages?

My BB8830 World Edition on Verizon continues to show full html tags - e.g. <http://www.oracle.com/dm/global/opn.gif> - instead of just the link, which makes any email with links extremely difficult to read as the full html tags display in the middle of a sentence or para.
Any idea how to turn this off?

You'll have to wait for Verizon to release OS 4.5 for your device. Once you upgrade your device, you will be able to view HTML email.
There are also third party packages (that you'd have to pay for) available to read HTML email, but the OS should be available within the next few months. Then again it is Verizon, and they tend to drag their heels on updates, so....

HTML Formatting Auto Email messages

We have a scenario, when we provide a status update to an SR. The activity description is sent out as an automatic email. Workflow is working fine issue is automatic email is in Text format instead of an HTML format. Reason why I need an HTML format is in the description there could be a link to a web page. This link appears as text instead of a Hyperlink.
CRMOD Support states this as an enhancement - I was wondering if anyone has created any workarounds for this.
Thanks

I dont believe there is a workaround for this as the emails are sent as plain text email. This has been highlighted as a request from customers i asked them if EMOD could be used in workflow which would be great for both internal and external customers.

Cannot paste html content into outgoing messages

Using Mail 3.2, I am no longer able to "paste as HTML" into an email message. I called AppleCare and spent 30 minutes on the phone with 2 people in the Phillipines but they were never able to understand my problem.
I am a political activist so do this alot: find something great on the web, copy and paste to an email that I send to a group of people. There should be live links, photos and the original formatting.
Instead, "paste as HTML" no longer shows up as an option under "Edit." I also tried using the appropriate keystrokes, ie, ^V plus apple key, but only got plain text in my outgoing message.
Since it still works on my MacMini, for now I am sending messages with HTML on the Mini, but it's a hassle.

are you using Safari to copy the html stuff? that's the only way Mail will understand it.
if yes, and it's still not working, try reinstalling the [Safari update|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/safari31 .html].

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

Adding a rounded dropshadow effect behind a HTML email message

Hello. I am looking to add a rounded corner box with a dropshadow effect behind a HTML email message. I got it working great in gmail with four corner images and repeating background slice for the sides and top and bottom. The problem is background images do not work in Hotmail and a few other email clients. Anyone have any suggestions as how to achieve this? Thanks.

Ah, "the client wants it". That factor has led to more bad design decisions over the years than I can count.
The client needs to understand that there are literally hundreds of millions of email users with hundreds of millions of different settings for their accounts, and there is now way imaginable in heaven or on earth to FORCE all desired styling and content to appear in every possible viewer's email when they open it. On a local network maybe, but not the entire world. So, ultimately they're asking you to design something that far less than tenth of one percent of possible recipients may (not will, but may) ever see.
It's a bit like asking you to paint an elaborate mural inside a closet and then they lock the door and break the key off in the knob. You did a great job on it but no one will ever see it.
I don't work for Microsoft or Google, or Yahoo or Opera (or any of the hundreds of thousands of proprietary hosted email services out there), so I couldn't venture even a wild a guess as to how to force their servers to display content for a single insistent client somewhere.
I'm sure this has been tried unsuccessfully many many times in the past, but I seriously doubt it's been "done" universally. I've seen a few dozen people here who've tried it and tried it, and eventually gave up because they realized just what I just laid out... was true.
If the client still insists, politely explain to them that they are defeating their purpose in adding all the fancy effects because of the minute number of people who will ever see them. Invisibility is not the purpose of promotion, and if promotion is the purpose of the emails, making them invisible won't help.

When typing out emails on ipad, screend I lose the message I am typing. Does anyone know what the problem can be?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

HT3529 I have just bought an iPad I have typed in email addresses into Contacts, but when I try to send a message most of them come up within red with an !. Then it will not let me send! This is sapping my confidence ! Please help if possible!

I have typed in email addresses into Contacts, but when I try to do an email, most of them have an exclamation mark and won't let me send! Where am I going wrong ? It is really sapping my confidence!

Did you set up your email account info in Settings?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts > your account should be listed in there with the appropriate incoming and outgoing mail servers and correct user names and passwords.

Email messages don't display in thunderbird message pane but wdseml file is good.

There are some email messages that don't display correctly in the Thunderbird message pane.
Either the pane is completely empty or chunks of html show up in the pane.
I checked the actual email file stored in:
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\d976yxfm.default\Mail\pop-server\Inbox.mozmsgs
and it looks good, as the Windows 7 explorer window is able to show the email message cleanly in the preview window.
When I click on "View Source", it shows the wrong source file, I think.
The text in the "view source" window doesn't match the text in the ".wdseml" file at all.
Note: I recently migrated my C drive from a spinning hard disk to an SSD, perhaps this caused the weirdness? But, most of my email messages do display correctly, just some of them are hosed.
Any ideas how to fix?
Currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, latest update from Microsoft (as of 3/13/2014).
Thunderbird version 24.3.0.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Windows still has a command processor.
So no need for bash.
type CMD into the search box to locate it
If you can use bash I assume your familiar with CD to change folders.
One little thing I use to save typing is I locate the folder in Explorer, click beside the path so it changes to a C:\ based item and use Ctrl + C to copy it and paste it into my CMD session. CTRL+V does not work, but edit on the windows system menu does.
To rename the files, navigate to the folder they are in and Copy *.wdseml *.eml
once you do the import return and del *.eml to clear out the duplicates from the first step.

Why does my iPad no longer display email messages?

My iPad suddenly stopped showing the body of emails, both for my iCloud account and for my Google mail account. I discovered that if I click to either reply or forward a message a truncated version of it appears with no attachments or graphics. I didn't change any settings or anything before it happened. What do I do to get the body of email messages to show up again?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How can I search for a specific folder when filing an email message?

Dear all, first of all thanks for your support.
Please don’t hit me but I am currently a BlackBerry user, since this is the standard I got from the company I work for.
That said, new server technologies allows now to use also other devices with the same company server, something that gives me the chance to switch to an iPhone.
Basically it’s all ready for the switch, but just one thing holds me from making the step.
It’s the email messages filing procedure.
With the iPhone, assuming I am not missing something (something that I hope), when you want to file an email in one of your folders you select the “file” function and then you scroll with your finger across the folders list you have in your email account.
This is all right if you have an handful of folders, but if you have hundreds, if not thousands, of folders it will take forever to find the one you’re looking for.
With a BlackBerry, once you selected the email messages you’d like to file, and after you selected the “file” function, you can also scroll, but – very important for me – I can also start typing the initial letters of the folder I’m looking for. The more I type the less folders will appear, as less folders will match with letters I typed. Once the list is short enough to easily see the folder you want (usually after you typed two or three letters, which takes no more than a second), you can pick the folder you wanted in a blink of an eye.
This makes email messages filing a very fast operation, and since I use this for my job I can’t live without email filing.
If someone of you knows how to perform the same with an iPhone, and possibly with the original apple mail software, I will very glad to make the switch.
Thanks to all that will offer their support.
Regards.

How to attach a text file as an attachment to email message?

Hello Everybody,
I have a .csv file, in which details about emp-id, emp-name, e-expenses for Reimbursement and email address are stored.
My application reads this .csv file, and sends a mail to each employee with his id, salary details in text format. (by changing content type to "text/plain") The code is working fine. But,
My problem is:
The message is sent as message body to the end user.
The end user / the person who receives this mail will not be a technical person. So,
1) If he trys to take a print out of this e-mail, He get only half of it.(as no. of colums will be more than paper size).
2) I am finding alignment problem. IF employee name is too big, other columns will shift to right and data will not be exactly under column header. (it is going in zig zag way)
So, I thought sending text file with all the details as an attachment might do well.
But, I don't know how to attach a text file to email-message body.
code
try
 { String s1="";
 File f1 = new File(the path);
 FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(f1); //new
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
 int count=0;
 while((s1=br.readLine())!=null )
 count++;
 //out.println("within while loop "+count);
