Issues with Japanese encoding using Mail

Since recently (I would say since I updated to 10.6), I have an issue with Japanese-encoded (ISO 2022-JP) mails on my English MacOS.
I have no problem to read, edit and write answers to any mails.
However with some ISO JP-2022-JP encoded messages (sent with Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Windows/20090812) btw) I have the following misbehaviour:
- if I send the message and let the encoding to "automatic", Mail sends the mail in UTF-8, which I do not want since most of Japanese computer do not understand UTF-8 by default (and the receiver gets panicked: "I can not read your mail T_T !")
- if I set the encoding to "ISO JP-2022-JP", I can not send nor save the message (see [1] at the end of the post). One should note that the error message when saving is really misleading (and yes my hard-drive has a lot of space left) and it should be fixed by Apple.
- if I dig a bit deeper, I can in effect find some characters in the original message which prevent Mail to send my mail. It however does not make any sense since:
- those char were in the original message properly encoded in ISO JP-2022-JP
- those char are always very common ones
The only solution I have found so far is to delete the original message in my mail, which is very frustrating...
A sample of such mail can be found at (I removed personal info. and the mail is about a drinking party):
- http://files.me.com/trouve.antoine/73w3w9
Help would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much.

[1] I get the following error messages:
-> try to save:
*This message can’t be saved to the Drafts mailbox.*
The message contains one or more attachments that
are too large to be saved in the Drafts mailbox. Try
deleting some attachments.
->try to send
*Invalid Text Encoding*
Some characters in your message could not be
converted to the “Japanese (ISO 2022-JP)” text
encoding. Choose a different encoding from the
“Text Encoding” menu.

You can find out about the different versions here, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_2022
Thank you. I feel a bit stupid for not having looked in Wikipedia at first...
I sometime wonder how could such basic problem like charset not being solved after more than 40 years of computer science...
Here is a note that addresses that problem, but I don't think it works with 10.6. Might be worth a > try:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121808&tstart=60
Thank for the link.
It seems to still work: new japanese mails are now sent in "ISO 2022-JP-2".
However, for messages with the header explicitly specifying "ISO 2022-JP" (which should be "ISO 2022-JP-2" on my mac) it has no influence.
The only ways I see to solve this issue would be:
i) to force "ISO 2022-JP-2" for all mails (a bit too extreme)
ii) to force the use of "ISO 2022-JP-2" instead of "ISO 2022-JP", but I do not think such precise configuration is possible
This mess appears to be due to Thunderbird which seems to mix "ISO 2022-JP-2" and "ISO 2022-JP", but I do not have any working Thunderbird to test now...

Issues with iMac freezing using Mail, Safari, Chrome

I'm having issues with my iMac freezing, forcing me to hard restart my computer each time. I think I've had to powered down via power button altleast a twenty times today and yesterday. I've restarted 4 times just trying to finish this post
It seemed like I was only freezing using Safari at websites like facebook and youtube.com. So I switched to Chrome, which lasted a few hours until I started freezing on that as well.
I logged on as a Guest account and they seemed to be working fine. I thought Flash may be the issue so I re-installed but no dice. I emptied cache, cleared history from each browser, etc -- no help.
Then today I started freezing just using mail. While typing a message, auto correct attempted to correct a word and my system completely locked up from that.
I have plenty of hard drive space, RAM isn't an issue either.
Here's some of my system log just before one of my recent freezes:

I uninstalled the Glims plug-in on safari, and that's seemed to cure a little bit of the problem with safari. But I'm still getting hang-ups and freezes. I'm not even noticing a pattern anymore with which apps and so forth are causing it.

Gmail causing issues with other email using mail app

I use the standard mail app for 3 hotmail accounts (with my own domain name) & a work exchange account (which I turn on and off as required). These work well on iPhone 4 & iPad3 using IOS5.1.
However, on adding a gmail account to the mail program I stop receiving all email on the hotmail accounts. As soon as I delete gmail on a device, that device I starts receiving hotmail emails.
The solution for me was to delete the gmail account as I only set it up for analytics & don't need the mail. Although this issue would stop me switching to gmail full time.
Has anyone else encountered this error & found a solution?

No, you can’t. Gmail doesn’t let mail to be downloaded twice by either the same or different POP mail clients.
I believe .Mac actually handles something like this but I do not have it.
Any IMAP account would allow you to do this. Actually, almost any POP account other than Gmail would also at least let you download the same mail on both computers. It’s just Gmail that doesn’t.

Sateillite A200-1A9: Issue with sending/receiving E-mail using Windows Mail

Using Windows mail I have to close/open the programme to be able to send mails, they get stuck in the Outbox. By closing and reopening the programme the mail gets sent. Also the Blue figure 1 in brackets showning 1 unread mail in the Outbox is there all the time although there is no mails read or unread in the Outbox
Not a server problem as all mails are going/receiving fine on my desktop.
Pressing send and receive button does not help. although some of the time it will receive mails when pressing send/receive but will not send them
I do have Norton Internet security 2007 and am getting fed up with the continuing problems that this seems to cause over the period 2004-7.
Is there an issue with the Windows mail programme running with Vista that is known

I think I have found a solution

Wrong encoding using "Mail" on iPad

Sorry for bringing up an old issue - -
the official Mail App seemed to be unable to handle the utf-8 correctlly.
I encountered with the same problem like this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2811597?start=0&tstart=0
I have sent a mail , using my Google Mail account , with Official Mail App.
(I've forced my Google Account to use UTF-8 while sending mail.)
The subject of mail is "メルタスチン" (which pronounced in Japanese sounds like "mail testing")
And the content is "アスタイト" (which sounds similar to "as title")
However I get the mail with wrong encoding type in MIME header:
http://pastie.org/6081304
(The pastie link is clean.)
The subject and content is messed up for sure ,too.
I don't think it's an exeption specified to GMAIL ;I've tested Yahoo!, Hotmail, GMAIL, and it's still not working properly.
However, the mail route acted pretty wiered.
Background:
I'm in Taiwan , people here use Traditional Chinese(local common encoding:Big5), but I need to send a Japanese mail(common encoding Shift_JS).
P.S.
There was an thread on google forum about this issue ; yet there's no pratical soltution.

Try adding a special character to your message to force UTF8 in iPad Mail. Try an emoji character from the emoji keyboard, or a dingbat via copy/paste from an app like Unicode Map (range 2700).

Issue with Japanese characters in files/filenames in terminal.

I recently downloaded a zip file with Japanese characters in the archive and in the files within the archive. The name of the archive is "【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌第一等.zip"
The characters are properly displayed in firefox, chrome, and other applications, but in my terminal some of the characters appear corrupted. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/4R22m0D.png
Additionally, this leads to corruption of the files in the archive. When I try to extract the files, this is what happens:
% unzip 【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌第一等.zip
Archive: 【批量下载】パノプティコン労働歌第一等.zip

extracting: +ii/flac/---- -instrumental-.flac bad CRC 569b6194 (should be adb5d5fe)
I'm not sure what could be the cause of this. I'm using uxterm with terminus as my main font and IPA gothic (a Japanese font) as my secondary font. I have a Japanese locale set up and have tried setting LANG=ja_JP.utf8 before, but the results never change.
Also, this issue isn't just with this file. This happens with nearly all archives that have Japanese characters associated with it.
Has anyone encountered this issue before or knows what might be wrong?

Maybe 7zip or another tool has workarounds for broken file names, you could try that.
Or you could try to go over the files in the zip archive one-by-one and write it to files out-1, out-2, ..., out-$n without concerning yourself with the file names. You could get file endings back via the mimetype.
This script might work:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <zip.h>
static const char *template = "./out-%04d.bin";
int main(int argc, char**argv)
int err = 0;
zip_t *arc = zip_open((const char*)argv[1], ZIP_RDONLY, &err);
if(arc == NULL)
printf("Failed to open ZIP, error %d\n", err);
return -1;
zip_int64_t n = zip_get_num_entries(arc, 0);
printf("%s: # of packed files: %d\n", argv[1], n);
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
zip_stat_t stat;
zip_stat_index(arc, i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, &stat);
char buf[stat.size];
char oname[sizeof(template)];
zip_file_t *f = zip_fopen_index(arc, (zip_int64_t)i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED);
zip_fread(f, (void*)&buf[0], stat.size);
snprintf(&oname[0], sizeof(template), template, i);
FILE *of = fopen(oname, "wb");
fwrite(&buf[0], stat.size, 1, of);
printf("%s: %s => %lu bytes\n", argv[1], oname, stat.size);
zip_fclose(f);
fclose(of);
zip_close(arc);
return 0;
Compile with
gcc -std=gnu99 -O3 -o unzip unzip.c -lzip
and run as
./unzip $funnyzipfile
You should get template-named, numbered output files in the current directory.

Gmail App Issue with picture embed in mail body

Hi,
I am an iphone 5 user and have installed the Gmail app from google inc. . But there seems to be an issue with sending emails.
If a new email is composed with a picture copied from the camera roll or other app in phone and pasted onto the email body in the gmail app,
and sent out, the email body gets stripped off the embedded picture.
The sent email in the 'Sent' folder of Gmail app does not display the embedded picture. Is this a known issue with the Gmail app?
Is there any resolution?

Hi.,
First you have to store image in MIME Repository. , then use HTM type to send mail .,
check these : [Send Picture in body of Email|Send an picture to body of an email;
and [Send HTML mail with image|Re: Send HTML mail with image;
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

Font issue with left sidebar in Mail

I'm having perhaps another/different font issue with Mail after updating to Snow Leopard.
I do have a Dell 24" LCD hooked up to my MBP. I've noticed the comments/links related to the font smoothing issues. I've played around with that with no noticeable change.
Check out the before & after pics. Anyone have thoughts?

Same issue here whenever I'm using a different color profile. Only the default color profile seems to work properly with the new sidebar in mail.

Awt alignment issue with japanese character

I am using japesenes OS(Win XP ) and running awt application (JDK1.6).
For Choice box (dropdown box) ,if the font is less than 15 and if there
is a mixture of japanese and number ,the numbers and the Japanese characters
are not vertically aligned.
I am using java.awt.Choice component to display all the months
Choice month =new Choice();
month.insert ("1 \u6708", 0);
month.insert ("2 \u6708", 1);
month.insert ("3 \u6708", 2); .. so on
While running the applet , in display window
The numbers and the Japanese characters are not vertically aligned.
When a month is selected, it is slightly truncated at the top.
My default font is [family=SansSerif,name=sansserif,style=plain,size=12]
when i change the font to 15,the characters are properly aligned.
Did anyone faced this before? if so can you please clarify why this behaviour when font size
is less than 15 or how to resolve this issue without changing the font size .
thanks in advance,
ruhul

Hi,
I have also faced the above mentioned issue.The workaround of using Full Width unicode though resolves the alignment of Japanese with english/numbers/special characters.
There is other issues with this to mention a few:
(a) The text is still top aligned.
(b) A leading and trailing space is added to the value in the choice component when full width unicode value is used instead of english/number/special characters.
It would nice if the mentioned issues could be resolved or if a work around could be suggested.

Issue with Email generation using MAPI32.OCX and Outlook 2010

Our application use MAP32 OCX to generate an email with an attachment (PDF File), but no email address. The user will select the address from their contacts.
Right now we have an issue with some Outlook 2010 clients that after about 8 emails , Outlook has an issue and hangs.
Now if we do a mailto://[email protected] before we create the 8th email, Outlook 2010 doesn't hang. Is there any setting we can set in Outlook 2010 to prevent the "address checking" when the email is generated or do I have to fill
the email address with a "bogus" address that the user must then overwrite to prevent this from happening?
Thanks,
Chad Newman

Hello Chad,
Why do you need to use MAPI instead of OOM?
I'd suggest automating Outlook instead. See
How to automate Outlook from another program and
How to automate Outlook and Word by using Visual C# .NET to create a pre-populated e-mail message that can be edited for more information.
Also you may find the
C# app automates Outlook (CSAutomateOutlook) sample project helpful.

Anyone else having an issue with TCP connections using iCloud for Windows?

Hi,
Before I asked this question, I did wait to see if any related questions came up, but none did, so I submit it now.
On my admittedly older laptop running Windows 7 64b Home, I've run into difficulties with the iCloud for Windows app to the extent that I had to uninstall it.
It would that, as my laptop was running, in the background, iCloudServices.exe would endlessly iterate TCP connections, which, while not actively sending or receiving any data, after some hours would number over 100 instances, taking up resources, and grinding my laptop's WiFi connection to a grindingly slow pace. I ended up, within the app, turning off everything, iCloud Drive and Photos, (I never used bookmarks), but still this would continue to occur.
I contacted Apple Support, explaining what was going on, and they stated they only dealt with IOS and gave me a Microsoft Support number. When I called Microsoft support, I came more and more to the realization that the issue was specifically with the iCloud for Windows app, as that was the only software that was endlessly creating and not closing TCP connections as it was. How was Microsoft supposed to solve an issue with Apple code?
So I called Apple back, whereupon they insisted it was a Microsoft issue. I explained other cloud services installed on the same computer were not having the same issue, it was unique to ICloudServices.exe. They stated they only dealt with IOS. I stated I purchased an iPad Air less than 7 months ago, and was trying to run iCloud in support of that. They again stated they only dealt with IOS, and suggested I again try Microsoft. I asked them if it was reasonable to expect Microsoft to solve issues with Apple code? They said regardless, there was zero support offered for anything having to do with Windows, and all I could do was uninstall the app, which I did, though that did not feel very satisfactory to me. My thinking is, if Apple writes a Windows app in support of their hardware, they should offer support for it.
Anyway, I was just wondering, is this an issue unique to me? or have others experienced a similar issue? I found this issue by opening the Windows Resource Monitor, looking under the Networking tab, and scrolling through the TCP Connections section to find 100+ concurrent iCloudServices.exe instances listed, whereas even Chrome, with multiple tabs and extensions, topped out at around 20.
My one month old Desktop, DYI, sports a solid Asus 1150 MoBo, i7-4790k cpu, 16GB Ram, and an EVGA GTX 970 video card. I list some specs only to illustrate this computer has no hardware issues in comparison to my long in tooth laptop. On this desktop, running Win 8.1 Pro 64b, at least as many, identifiably Apple, background service TCP connections are created even compared to Chrome, regardless of many tabs being open, many extensions, and even some related apps. Adobe does not even come close, though I run the full CC subscription. On this new computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64b, there are currently over 50 TCP connections and loopbacks that do not identify themselves, with just a - for the Image, and PID. With the experience on my laptop, I wonder how many of these are generated by Apple software, if not specifically iCloud software?
The frustrating aspect of these connections is they seem in no way active, While the Chrome and Adobe connections can be seen to be transferring data, as long as I am not running iTunes, or so have my iPad actually plugged in, it seems 99% of the time these iCloudServices.exe connections are just taking up ports, neither sending nor receiving any data discernable to me under the Processes with Network Activity, or Network Activity lists, both displayed in the same window as the TCP Connections in the Windows Resource Monitor.
Though I am fairly ignorant as regards coding, it seems as if there is no call to close a connection, very specifically, iCloudServices.exe, when it is no longer needed, and the next time a connection is needed, a new one is opened, rather than accessing the one previously opened. The only other reason I could imagine this might be occurring is if my Norton Internet Security software might mask and/or block the port after a certain time of inactivity.
Anyone out there have any ideas or advice about this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

Issues with pagination when using Adobe table with Web dynpro for ABAP

Hi All,
I am facing strange issue with table text.
I have three cols in table, one is of type Char255 and other two cols are of type string.
The text in the col 1 is displayed perfectly but in other two cols of type string whenever we have pagination the text in table is getting truncated and in next page new row starts.
Could you please tell me the settings that will enable flowing of text in the row of table to next page.
Thanks,
Arti.

Check the properties of the text field you use for those columns (if you want to control it on this level) or check the same attribute for the row subform (one level up control): "allow page break within content".
Regards Otto
p.s.: we all have deadlines... and manage to pay something back. Think about it.

Issue with SaveAs PDF using XSLFOP

Hi, We have been using SaveAs method to generate PDF files using XSLFOP technique successfully, however, recently we ran into an issue where a very large report (about 100+ pages) generated a PDF file that could not be opened. We get the following error when we try to open the PDF file. “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” We tried it again with lesser range of dates and the proper PDF file is generated. (Report was about 35 pages). So we think it has something to do with the large volume of data which is causing the SaveAs method to generate the corrupt PDF file. Any help will be much appreciated !! Note : In the same folder where we have the EXE,PBD and DLLs, we have two subfolders fop-0.20.5 and jre. Thanks, Chirag Vora

Hello Chirag,
We submitted this problem to engineering 10 years ago with PowerBuilder 9 !!!
It appears to be a problem with the FOP processor which needs a large amount of memory to complete the task. You can find similar issues with other tools than PowerBuilder:

As a workaround, you can save the data in XSL-FO format within PowerBuilder, then use the fop.bat file in the \Shared\PowerBuilder\fop-0.20.4\ folder to convert it from outside PB.
This will still give you the memory error until you modify the batch file to increase the maximum heapsize for java.
In the fop.bat file change the java start command to : java -Xms64m -Xmx256m ...
The option -Xms definies the initial heapsize for the java engine and -Xmx the maximum heapsize.
We believe the default maximum heap is 64MB and this is what it is running into (or running out).
Setting it to 256MB with -Xmx and it was able to complete
HTH,
Jacob

Issue with Attachment download from Mail?

I am having an issue with an attachment. I opened the attachment from an email account on my iPad2 and the screen has just gone black. Mail will not let me out of trying to view the attachment. I tap on the screen and nothing happens. It has frozen my mail accounts. Any one have an idea how to cancel the attachment if the mail is not responding?

Do a hard reset: Press and hold on the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time. Continue to hold even after you see the "Slide to Power off" screen. Hold until the Apple logo comes up.
