Ironing the bugs out of a custom Mail Stationery

So I'm making a custom Mail Stationery for myself. It's pretty set up the way I want to look. It looks good when I'm sending it, and to someone else who uses the Mail client, it looks like it's supposed to as well.
In Gmail's web interface, it doesn't work. Basically, Gmail misinterprets the images I use for the template as attachments, and displays them as so, rather than using them for the interface.
Here's the source code I'm using:
Description.plist

  • Can't find the custom mail stationery folder since upgrade to Lion

    I have some custom mail stationery items I created in Leopard and have since upgraded to Lion when it was released.  Today I went to edit one of my custom ones and the folder was no longer present in the old location at
    User folder/Library/Application Support/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/Custom
    I have searched everywhere looking for the 'custom' folder but can't find it.
    Problem is that mail still is showing them as if they still exist (and can use them) but I can't find where they are.   I decided to try creating a new template to see where it stored it but I can't find it anywhere and definitely not in the usual place.
    Can someone please point me in the right direction .. I'm pulling my hair out!!!!

    Binaut's answer is great.  However, how I was able to successfully move and place my custom stationery packages so they would show up in the "CUSTOM" category in a new mail using stationery took a different path. I had to place it in the SYSTEM Library FIRST. Of course I made the changes to the Table of Contents.plist and all that. AFTER I placed the package in the System/Library/Application Support etc. (the traditional place for templates) Mavericks Magically created the CUSTOM folder automatically and everything worked.
    If I'm off on this, please let me know.
    Below is a link to a new discussion I've started.
    Hope this works for you!  There's also a link to a good tutorial on creating your custom stationery in the first place.
    Best to you!

  • Pre teen wants an apple ipad. is the 3 refirbished got all the bugs out or should I stick with the 2?

    does the refirbised iPad 3 have all the bugs out or should I stick with the iPad 2?

    There a few reports of issues, but those expereincing them are in a very small minority. I've never had issues with either of mine.
    My suggestion would be the refurbished 3rd generation. A refurbished unit will have had a little extra testing and basically be a new iPad. Also, the 3rd gen has a faster processor and a better screen than the 2, and will run Siri (the 2 won't).

    Use stationery in messages
    You can add a personal touch to a message by using stationery. For example, if you’re inviting friends to dinner, you can use the Dinner stationery to make your message look like a professionally printed invitation.
    Apply a stationery template
    In the New Message window, click the Stationery icon in the toolbar.
    To view the template choices, click a category, such as Announcements.
    To use a template, click its thumbnail.To try a different template, click another thumbnail.
    You can change the background color of some templates by clicking the thumbnail. For example, click the Daisies thumbnail several times to see different background colors.
    After you decide on a template, click the Stationery icon again to see more of the message area.
    If the template contains placeholder images, drag images from your desktop or the Finder over a placeholder.
    If you have images on your Mac from using Aperture, iPhoto, or Photo Booth, click the Photo Browser icon in the message toolbar to view and select those images.
    You can drag any folder of images onto the Photo Browser so that the images are easily accessible.
    If the image is larger than the placeholder photo, double-click the image to display a slider you can use to zoom in on an area of the photo. You can also drag the image around to show a specific area.
    If you use a template often, add it to the Favorites category. Drag the thumbnail over the category list. To remove a favorite, select it and click Remove (x).
    Remove stationery
    To remove a template from your message, click the Original thumbnail in the Stationery category.
    Any text, images, or formatting you added is retained.
    Create your own stationery
    In a new message, enter and format your text, add images, and then choose File > “Save as Stationery.”
    Your custom stationery will be available in the Custom category, at the end of the list.

  • Will Apple make me pay for Pages 3 just to get the bugs out of 2?

    I'm another Pages 1 owner who is not happy with Apple's failure to produce a bug fix for Pages 1.
    It's fine to ask for more money for new features, but I don't like having to pay more just to get rid of the bugs they've known about since the beginning (the Tabs bug, as just one example).
    So if I swallow my frustration and buy v2, do you think Apple will produce any updates for fixing bugs in this version? Or will they make me wait another year and buy the software a third time?

    Pages' update policy has been argued to death a while back.
    It's probably not going to change, so maybe balance accounts against other options on the basis that this is going to be subscription software! Personally I find not so bad value at that, since other programs also become obsolete or get tired, or charge you more for an update than the cost of iWork anyway.
    As to your question about "bug fixes" - free updates might indeed be made available to fix up actual bugs. a Pages 1.0.1 must have been offerred somewhere along the line, and there was a Pages 1.0.2 just before Pages was released. If this happens with Pages 2, you will get it from software update.
    Wishlists about new features, or how the existing ones might be made to work better are not actual bugs. And often they reflect somewhat conflicting requirements. So Apple have to sift through these, work out a way to implement them - and most likely will be looking at another release before they get around to it.
    For AU$119 a year - make sure you get the best value by putting in feedback to Apple (Pages main menu, Provide Pages Feedback). Or consider what the Applestore salesman told me when I asked about iLife '06, which I would be unlikely to use enough to stretch what it does. Just get every second new version, he said. So that's $59.50 a year. You pays your money and you takes your choice. On the other hand, in my opinion, Pages 2.0.1 really does owe Pages 2 users a thing or two - and I do hope Apple are getting on with it.
    Regards.

  • Custom mail stationery missing...

    While I have the stationery in Mail, it does not appear to be where it should be. I read the following article: http://www.jdempsey.com/how-to-create-customized-osx-mail-stationery-in-leopard/
    The thing is none of the stationery templates are anywhere to be found. I've searched for it with Spotlight but found nothing.
    I created a template in Mail called "iantest" and it saved by default in
    Mail>Stationery>Apple>Contents>Resources>Custom>Contents>Resources
    Perhaps I can modify content.html in my "iantest" file, but then would the images be embedded and would there be any placeholders?
    Do you know where the Mail stationery is?

    mail stationery is located in yourharddrive/library/application support/apple/mail/stationery/apple/contents/resources/stationery/contents/reso urces.
    first path is yourharddrive, not homefolder.
    hope this helps

  • Custom Mail Stationery Placeholders freeze

    So I'm making a custom stationery with lots of placeholders for images.
    I've finished making it, but there's just one error.
    Whenever I drag a photo from one placeholder to another it freezes.
    I've been trying to find answers online to no avail.
    I've used it on multiple computers, also to no avail.
    Thanks any help is appreciated.

    Having the same issue here!
    While my stationery template with 1 placeholder used to work very well in Leopard, it now freezes when replacing the placeholder image in Lion (Mail 5.2).

  • Why would someone launch a newer version and not get all of the bugs out first?

    Facebook will not load. Email will not load. Nothing will load. Firefox is not compatible with my anti-virus, so it disabled. All Adobe files were lost in the download process. FF is running soooo slow. I uninstalled FF and now cannot reinstall. When I go to mozilla.com there in no "download now" button. What is up with this?

  • HT4528 My IPhone Bugged out/It is currently in the reset mode. I need to exchange all of my contacts from my Yahoo acct. to my new IPHONE. Can you please help me?

    Hello ,
    I purchased my IPHONE about 2 months ago. I am visiting family in DE & this tuesday it starting to go off & on by itself. Then the icons looked like they were floating . Then I could not call or text . The SIRI device would not work. Then it would shut down then the apple icon would reappear. I took it to a verizon dealer in Rehoboth DE & they said it BUGGED OUT/It is in a RESTORE MODE. It will not turn on. We could not transfer anny of my pics or contacts. I never even had a chance to back up the memory on ITUNES.
    The tech @ Verizon said to contact APPLE to trouble shoot and try and transfer the contacts from my yahoo acct.
    Can you please help?
    Gina

    set up your yahoo account in mail, contacts, calendars as an Exchange Account and you should be able to get your contacts from Yahoo from there.

  • The To Do List Items in Mail are grayed out. I can't edit or mark them :(

    As stated in the title, the To Do items in Mail are all grayed out, I can't edit or mark them complete anymore. In iCal, on the other hand, To Do items are working correctly. I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and the To Do items were working fine before, but are not now.

    Sorry, I should have explained it more. I had 186 To Do items in the Mail To Do section that were working fine before I installed Snow Leopard (I was able to mark them complete or incomplete, rename, and edit them). After installing Snow Leopard, half of them are grayed out and half of them are working correctly. I am unable to mark the grayed out To Do items complete, or rename or edit them. The To Do items that are grayed out are random, like, it's not all of the complete ones, or all of the ones that are in a month or so.
    Here is a screenshot: http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/4743/screenshotgh.png
    I know it's not the biggest deal, I just used to use Mail as my To Do thing If you know of a better app for the kinds of To Dos you see in the screenshot, let me know

    With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer.  Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer.

  • [svn] 1543: Bug: BLZ-152-lcds custom Date serialization issue - need to add java.io. Externalizable as the first type tested in AMF writeObject() functions

    Revision: 1543

    Log Message:
    Bug: BLZ-152-lcds custom Date serialization issue - need to add java.io.Externalizable as the first type tested in AMF writeObject() functions
    QA: Yes - please check that the fix is working with AMF3 and AMFX and you can turn on/off the fix with the config option.
    Doc: No
    Checkintests: Pass
    Details: The problem in this case was that MyDate.as was serialized to MyDate.java on the server but on the way back, MyDate.java was serialized back to Date.as. As the bug suggests, added an Externalizable check in AMF writeObject functions. However, I didn't do this for AMF0Output as AMF0 does not support Externalizable. To be on the safe side, I also added legacy-externalizable option which is false by default but when it's true, it restores the current behavior.

  • Just upgraded to 10.9. was hoping it would fix the bugs in the last system.  now my Epson scanner won't work.  Downloaded their newest software.  No go with the new OSX. Why would Apple roll out a new free upgrade that interferes with Epson?

    Just downloaded OS 10.9.  hoped it would fix bugs from the last version.  now I can't use my Epson perfection 4870 scanner. Cehcked with Epson. They say the software is an Apple update.  checked with Apple-No Go.
    For now my Scanner just won't work.  I'm surprised Apple would introduce new OS material -free- which compromises a good vendor like Epson.

    nope, Barney.
    My issue is   a large amount of money spent over many years on computers for my company, myself, wife and sons. Got an investment here
    The company I favor, Apple sent me a message that they have a wonderful new Maverick operating system.
    I send documents back and forth to friends and people to do business. Hoped maverick would fix the bugs  from Leopard.
    With Maverick system, my main document sender, Epson perfection 4870 and its software doesn't work anymore, or so it seems to me.
    Checked with Apple, very apologetic, they can't help, maybe it will be fixed in a couple of days...
    Epson, referred me to Apple...
    I still ccouldn't send documents.
    Until my buddy Macjack pointed out the obvious- Image capture does the job. Thanks very much,MJ
    I didn't know that- not in the Apple help area, can't find it in their manual, their help line couldn't give me a clue to something as obvious as this
    So, lot of money over the years. Plenty of smart, well compensated folks writin code at both companies.  I can't keep up with tit all, they don't keep up with each other.
    Bottom line Apple releases a product  that doesn't work well for a lot of little people like me.  Maybe some clear expanation would help re:Macjack..
    I certainly don't understand all the ins and outs of a zillion dollar computer behemoth business model.  Do know this though, If I ran my business like this customers would go somewhere else and some would probably sue me.
    Thank you
