Is there a Mail utility to force/encourage Subject line text?

Is there a utility or product that will force/encourage me to pick from a list of "approved" Mail Subject line text?
I want Subject Line to (under certain circumstances) to start with [COMPETITION: A Vendor]. And be able to pick from a list of "approved" text.

Group address (from mail list) is added to subject line

Just this week-without changing any settings-emails that are sent to a mailing list show the addressee in the subject line as well as the address, but in brackets, i.e. address [email protected] / subject -[[email protected]] great news!
I checked with my ISP who hosts our mail and they thought it might be a virus attached to address book or mail program.
Can anyone help? It is a problem in annoyance only, altho it interferes with searching.

That is very unusual. You might want to check with the mailing list administrator and see if anything has changed there. Is there anything unusual about the way you create and send these messages?

Hmph, obviously they haven't got the slightest clue what they're talking about. This might be true with a Windows machine, but there is no such virus on Macs. You can safely set this worry aside.

Whenever I forward mails I get only the subject line as forward All attachments and text is blank

I am currently using Windows 7 - 64 bit as my operating system. Previously this was not the case. But after I changed my operating system, problem started in forwarding my mails. Whenever I forward my mails, Only the subject line is filled. All the text, attachments and pictures from original mail are not carried alongwith.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== From the very beginning

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.

Mail 7 standard-violating localized subject line

With Mail Version 7.0 (1822) Apple has introduced a horrible standard violating localisation of the "Re:" we are used to at the beginning of subject lines in email responses. In German "Re:" gets replaced by "Aw:" an abbreviatiob of "Antwort" which translates to "reply". Most English-speaking users may have never heard of this, but this "Aw:" nonsense was originally introduced to Mac OS X by Microsoft Entourage 2004, only to be removed quickly after massive user protests.
I don't know what Apple was thinking when they decided to have subject lines start with "Aw:" and frankly I don't care. I want this standard violation gone. The sooner, the better.
How can I fix Mail to show me a proper "Re:" instead of a standard violating "Aw:" in the subject line?

It is only bold if the message hasn't been opened from within Mail. You can select as many bold messages at once and mark them as unread to make them no longer bold.

Mail subject lines blue or disappearing!

My Mail is acting weird for about a week now. Two things.
1. Large numbers of the subject lines in the top panel where my mail is listed will turn blue. They'll turn back to the normal black text sometimes either when I scroll or restart Mail.
2. The subject lines started completely disappearing today! They're still there, as if in white font on white background and I can still click on them and read the email, but they're invisible.
Is Mail malfunctioning because it can't handle thousands of saved emails? That's a bummer if true. I thought I could use it like an archive.
I searched the communities for answers first and read something about "rebuilding" mailboxes which I'd never heard of before. If that's what I need to do can you direct me to complete instructions. I don't want to lose my emails.
Thank you for helping!

Hi Michele,
Not likely too many eMails doing it.
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
If you want to Rebuild a Mailbox...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
In Mail, highlight that Mailbox, under Mail's Mailbox menu item, choose rebuild.
Reboot.

Mail subject line question

Is it possible to change the subject line text in Mail to bold font?

Do you mean in messages you receive? Use the Fonts preferences tab in Mail's preferences. How the subject is displayed to the recipient in messages you send is under the control of their mail client.

Missing Subject line for the Approval Notification Mail

Hi,
We use CUP 5.3 SP7. We have configured the system for role based approval. We found that the approval notification mail being sent without any Subject line. It's configurable to set the admin mail id, but couldn't find one to set the Subject.
We get the following content in the mail....
View <http://<host:port>/AE/index.jsp?verifyApproverLogin.do........................>
Can we set it somewhere from the configuration?
Regards, Anil

Hi Alpesh,
Thx for your reply..But i think you missed my point...Let me try to explain it again...
When we submit a request, the system triggers a notification mail to the approver(s). And this mail seems to be missing a Subject line... and it's shown to be sent from the System E-mail id we set at the SMTP server config.
I couldn't find a tab for setting the E-mail format for the first approver neither at the stage nor in the e-mail reminder configuration.
Perhaps, setting the next approver will help if i had a secondary approver. But we are using a single stage WF in CUP. Am i missing some config step here?
Regards,
Anil

Subject line 'space' character is lost when sending mail?

Hi,
I'm using JavaMail, and when sending a mail with a subject line that is longer than 62 characters, the last space before the 63rd character becomes a linefeed. This means that when the recipient receives the e-mail, the space in the subject line is actually dropped (becomes a linefeed).
For example. I send an email with the following subject line: "New User Setup [ITNUS-0005] User Setup Progress Report for: Louise Gans".
The recipient will receive the following subject: "New User Setup [ITNUS-0005] User Setup Progress Report for: LouiseGans".
Note the missing space between "Louise Gans". Perhaps someone could test sending out that subject line, and see if they get the same problem?
Looking at the message source on the recipient client, it shows a line feed / new line where that space is supposed to be.
Using MS Outlook or GroupWise or another mail client, the subject lines gets sent through perfectly using the same mail server (Groupwise Internet Agent 7.0.3), but using JavaMail to send the mail through that mail server gives me the space problem.
Can anybody shed some light on why this is happening? I would really appreciate the help.
Here is an example of the code I am testing with:
public class SendHtml {
     public static void main(String[] argv) {
          new SendHtml();
     public SendHtml() {

The header is being "folded" as described in RFC 2822 section 2.2.3.
The folding doesn't lose the space if unfolding is done properly.
Perhaps the recipient mail program isn't handling unfolding properly?
If so, please report the bug to the owner of that program.
If you need to work around such a buggy program, you can set the
System property "mail.mime.foldtext" to "false" to disable all folding
in JavaMail.

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?

Is there a Java utility class to help with data management in a desktop UI?
I am writing a UI to configure a network device that will be connected to the serial port of the computer while it is being configured. There is no web server or database for my application. The UI has a large number of fields (50+) spread across 16 tabs. I will write the UI in Java FX. It should run inside the browser when launched, and issue commands to the network device through the serial port. A UI has several input fields spread across tabs and one single Submit button. If a field is edited, and the submit button clicked, it issues a command and sends the new datum to the device, retrieves current value and any errors. so if input field has bad data, it is indicated for example, the field has a red border.
Is there a standard design pattern or Java utility class to accomplish the frequently encountered, 'generic' parts of this scenario? lazy loading, submitting only what fields changed, displaying what fields have errors etc. (I dont want to reinvent the wheel if it is already there). Otherwise I can write such a class and share it back here if it is useful.
someone recommended JGoodies Bindings for Swing - will this work well and in FX?

Many thanks for the reply.
In the servlet create an Arraylist and in th efor
loop put the insances of the csqabean in this
ArrayList. Exit the for loop and then add the
ArrayList as an attribute to the session.I am making the use of Vector and did the same thing as u mentioned.I am using scriplets...

In the jsp retrieve the array list from the session
and in a for loop step through the ArrayList
retrieving each CourseSectionQABean and displaying.
You can do this in a scriptlet but should also check
out the jstl tags.I am able to remove this problem.Thanks again for the suggestion.

I have spent many hours, fiddling with classpaths, ensuring that the mail.jar, mailapi.jar, smtp.jar, activation.jar are all from the same generation of JavaMail. With my classpath set correctly I can run a simple program constructed to just test whether the box can send out email from the command line.
The code for the program is:
public class email {
     public email() {
     public static void main (String args[]) {
          try {
          EMail.send("10.132.147.62", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "test", "test");
          catch (Exception e) {
               System.err.println(e.toString());
Where EMail.send() is:
public static void send(
String mail_server_host,
String email_from,
String email_to,
String subject,
String message) throws AddressException, MessagingException, IOException {
send(mail_server_host,
(Authenticator)null,
new InternetAddress[] {new InternetAddress(email_from)},
new InternetAddress[] {new InternetAddress(email_to)},
(InternetAddress[])null,
(InternetAddress[])null,
subject,
message,
null,
null);
which calls:
public static void send(
String mail_server_host,
Authenticator authenticator,
InternetAddress[] addresses_from,
InternetAddress[] addresses_to,
InternetAddress[] addresses_cc,
InternetAddress[] addresses_bcc,
String subject,
String message,
InputStream[] attachments,
MimeType[] attachmentTypes) throws MessagingException,IOException {
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("mail.smtp.host", mail_server_host);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(
Session.getInstance(properties, authenticator));
msg.addFrom(addresses_from);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addresses_to);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, addresses_cc);
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC, addresses_bcc);
msg.setSubject(subject);

bpBody.setText(message);

else if (attachments == null) {
bpBody.setContent(message, attachmentTypes[0].toString());
mpMessageBody.addBodyPart(bpBody);
msg.setContent(mpMessageBody);
else {
mpMessageBody.addBodyPart(bpBody);
for (int i=0; i<attachments.length;i++) {

As said before all .jar files are of the same generation, yet when I run FileNet and the underlying content engine, and try to send an email, I recieve this exception. I have run out of ideas, and any help would be appreciated.
Things I've tried (multiple times):
- Removing any old versions of the jar files and replace them with JavaMail 1.3.3_01
- Have the content engine specifically import the JavaMail jar files.
While I realize some of you may not know what FileNet is, perhaps you have come across this exception before. Any new ideas would be more then appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

I haven't seen this error before so I need more detail to reproduce it.
It looks like you daisy chained calls to various static send() methods from various classes. Could you write a static main() for the class with the send() method actually doing the work? In the main() write the test case and compile it, test it and if it still doesnt work post it. Please include the import statements as it is germain to the solution.
Its much easier for me to help you if I don't have to recreate "FileNet" to reproduce your error.
As an alternative....

Whats wrong with my code?
Please help!!!!

You're using the "imaps" protocol, but you've set properties for the "imap" protocol. Change all the property names from mail.imap.* to mail.imaps.*.
Also, get rid of all the socket factory properties.
If you still can't connect, see these connection debugging tips.
Most likely you're using the wrong host name or port number. In almost all cases, it's better to just let JavaMail choose the correct port number.

Is there a group policy to force all workstations in an OU to logoff?

Hello,
Is there a group policy to force all workstations in an OU to logoff?
Thanks in advance.

I have not seen a policy related to log off users of specific OU's, but why not to give this a try:
import-module activedirectory
$Computers=Get-ADComputer -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=hadock,dc=hadock,dc=net"
foreach($PC in $Computers)
(Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName $PC.name).win32shutdown(4)
Above script uses WMI to send force logoff requests to clients in Hadock OU.
Hope it helps.

TS3276 When I click on the "Get mail" icon, nothing happens even though I know there is mail. However, if I click on "send" and then go back to the Inbox, the emails start loading. What's going on?

Is there a mailing list for the OID in oracle?

Hi All,
Is there a mailing list in Oracle for the OID discussion?
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle!
You have posted to the right forum. Also there is an OID mailing list inside Oracle, but unless you are an Oracle employee you cannot mail to it (even not from the outside).
