KNOWN ISSUE: HTML Messages with plain-text signatures

To get around the EAS security policy issue, I'm having non-sensitive emails from work forwarded to a GMail account from a redirect set up in our corporate OWA. The redirect seems to send the messages to GMail without any issues; formatting is 100% intact, and in the GMail web client as well as Thunderbird, Entourage, etc., HTML emails with plain-text signature attachments show the plain-text message inline with the rest of the formatted message. All of our internal mailing lists have these plain text attachments that say where the message was coming from (Message sent from [email protected] by listserv). These get affixed to every message, both plain text and HTML.
Here's my problem: The Pre's email client handles both plain text and HTML messages beautifully. But, when I receive a message from a mailing list with a plain text attachment, the HTML portion disappears, and all I see is the signature.
Is there any way to make the Pre show the HTML INSTEAD of the plain text? I can live without the sig, I know where the messages are coming from already. But if I can't read the message, it's useless. I've only begun researching this and so far Google hasn't been much help, nor has searching these or other forums. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got off the phone with Palm Support. Apparently this is a bug in the mail application. It currently does not support parsing both HTML and plain text in the same message. It will read EITHER plain text OR HTML, but not both at the same time. This will be fixed in a future update.

Reading All messages in plain text format

Is it possible to read all incoming mail messages received through a traditional POP3 account in plain text format as opposed to HTML?
I am running my own POP3 server (hmailserver).
Sometimes we are sent messages in HTML format. When they come in on the iPhone, the font size is microscopic. If all messages were received as plain text, it would simplify things dramatically.

There is no such preference setting/option with the iPhone's mail client.
I've never been a fan of HTML formatting with email for a number of reasons, with this being one of them. When the sender uses HTML, the sender controls the formatting, and HTML is not rendered the same with each email client, and all email clients do not include a preference setting to change all formatting for received messages to plain text.

HTML messages with SMTPClient

I'm trying to send HTML messages using the older SMTPClient class that comes with the earlier JDK's. I use an older version of CodeWarrior to write my code and it has problems with the new SDK. So I haven't downloaded the JavaMail API yet, it looks to me like this SMTPClient does everything I need. But I'm having problems sending HTML messages. I test my code by sending the messages to my own Outlook Express account. Outlook express interprets very simple HTML messages correctly, but as soon as I add more complicated tags it stops interpreting the message as HTML and just prints out the HTML source as plain text. This works fine:
msg.println("<html><body bgcolor=#D67689>");
msg.println("This works Fine!");
msg.println("</html>");
But I want to put together a slicker message than that. As soon as I add more code to the message, it is not interpreted properly.
This does not work:
msg.println("<html><body bgcolor=#D67689>");
msg.println("Now I just get plainText!");
msg.println("<img border=0 src=http://members.shaw.ca/bryantronsgard/IMAGES/FlowerBanner.jpg width=467 height=199>");
msg.println("</html>");
Do you have to follow some stricter tag schema when sending HTML over SMTP? Is there some trick I am missing?

I know nothing of this SMTPClient, but if it doesn't support setting a message's content type to "text/html" then it doesn't do everything you need.

How do I send Plain Text email and view HTML email as Plain text

On the Z10, how can I send a plaintext email message?And how can I view an email message as plain text?

I agree with everyone else here. For Blackberry NOT to allow text email just seems ludicrous. It is the kind of thing Apple would do to their hypnotized fans. Surely it isn't up to Blackberry to dictate how people send and receive email. There job is to enable people to work in the way that they want to work, which for many people means TEXT only emails. Like others I have run into problems using systems that expect text only emails (e.g. Toodledo) and just figured I would switch the Z10 to text mode. Shocked when I found out I couldn't. I really like my Z10, but can't help but feel in some ways Blackberry have made massive backwards strides, e.g. Blackberry Protect, Blackberry Connect (is that the thing that connects it with the playbook - I can't remember as I stopped using it when I realized all the features had vanished), etc. Come on Blackberry, we want killer features in the Z10 and not features killed :-)

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.

I have been having to change my email messages to plain text alternative in order to read the font. Can I change the default somewhere?

I have been having to change my email messages to plain text alternative in order to read the font. Can I change the default somewhere?

Maybe I need to try a different route. I was able to change the font settings for the general mail. I am now thinking it is a problem with Safari or the internet browser. I am seeing the bubble font only on messages that contain pictures ~ When I click to view the full message in the browser, the font changes to a readable font.

Help! Every app crashes when interacting with plain text files

I recently bought a 13" i7 MacBook Air. I love its design and I found OS X Lion unbelievably fast on it, yet I find myself in a very dark situation, now.
From the Finder to iA Writer, to TextEdit, every single app crashes when working with plain text files. In Finder’s column view I don’t even have to open them: the instant one .txt is selected, Finder crashes.
Creating a new user account seems to fix the bug for that account, but I just spent one whole day copying files from my old work MacBook (where Lion opened .txt files without a problem) to the new account and losing another entire day of work because of a stupid bug is out of question. Also, I feel it would be a very temporary fix. What if the bug presented itself again? Would I have to create a third, a fourth account, and so on?
I didn’t use any migration tool because I wanted a very clean installation.
On top of that, the machine is as App Store–only as one could be. The only “internet” apps I have on it are Chrome (for the occasional Flash video), Movist (I can’t work with Quicktime’s flying controls), and nvALT. I didn’t even had the time to install the Creative Suite on this one. I can’t for the life of me think this is app–related. I suspect it’s some weird OS bug.
I work in advertising, and I do some work in Adobe’s Creative Suite but *all* my copy is stored in plain text files. I always did it that way so that my files would be future–proof. It is kind of ironic now. So please, if anyone as the slightest idea of how to fix this, please, please, help. I find myself with a brand new computer I can’t use for work.

What are the files named?
Where are they being made? (What folder?)

Firefox 11 beta is having issues loading Flash and HTML content, shows plain text instead of images

I'm not sure what is causing the problem but it has been happening since beta 10 and now its also in beta 11. Randomly when I load any web page the page is displayed in plain text leaving all the HTML or flash content blank. Yes I have the most recent version of flash installed along with Java just in case it was looking for that mess as well. Sometimes the pages load fine, and sometimes they don't, it's like playing lotto with the internet. The only fix I know of is to either keep refreshing the page and "hope" it catches it on the reload, or closing Firefox and running CCleaner. Some times FF will load some of the visual data and leave gaps but usually its just basic text mode. I'm at a loss as to whether the problem is from Firefox or my ISP being a douche, either way its annoying that Firefox is not showing internet pages like it used to.
Hate to see it happening but it looks like Firefox is on its way to being just another Internet Explorer clone (failure). Should have stayed with your original team, all the new folks you have hired are really mucking up the whole project and its goal of a free and open internet. Not to mention writing bad code and costing you money and more importantly the user base.
(Update, now it's not doing it go figure, but I'm sure it will do it again at some point, perhaps its not Firefox and something else, I'll keep my eye on it and try to report any findings)

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Trouble Forwarding HTML Messages with Entourage

I use Entourage for email at home. Occasionally, I would like to be able to forward an email message to someone and keep the original HTML format intact. I have my preferences set to reply to messages in whatever format they were sent. For some reason, when I try to forward a message with lots of pictures in it, the forward messages just turns into text. Any suggestions?

Oh wow! I thought it was me. Same issue here; Exchange 2007, and all I get is Plain Text. Yet I can go to another account, and write HTML mail, no problems...

Plain text signature not wrapping in Apple Mail 8

Hello all,
I just upgraded to Yosemite and am experiencing a problem with Mail 8. I have a text based signature that I used on my business email. I created it in text edit, converted to plain text and then pasted into the Signatures pane. I have the option selected of: "Always match my default message font".
When creating a new message, or responding to a message, the signature content is not wrapping, causing the window to be about 6 times wider than my screen width. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks,

UPDATE: Deleting and recreating the signature solved the problem.

Generating html links from plain text

How can I scan a text (a String) and add links when a word is an URL?
I tried the following which works but it's too slow:
String text = rs.getString("text");
 text2scan=text.split("[\n ]")
 for(int i = 0; i < text2scan.length; i++){
 String replacement = null;
 String word = text2scan;
log.info(word);
if(word.indexOf(".com")!=-1){
replacement="<a href=\""+word+"\">"+word+"</a>";
text=text.replaceAll(word, replacement);
text=text.replaceAll("www","http://www");
text=text.replaceAll("http://http://","http://");
text=text.replaceAll(">http://",">");
Isn't this already implemented somewhere?
Thanks
Niklas

 e.printStackTrace(System.out);
And a test file makeHyperlinkTest.txt
This file just contains plain text with hyperlinks to places like www.google.com and http://www.yahoo.com.
The program I have written will convert these links like www.google.com into hyperlinks for displaying as html.
Make sure you visit http://www.java.sun.com and read all about Java.
And if I already have an <a href="www.google.com">Hyperlink</a> in this file it should leave it alone right?

How can I export a mailbox of messages as plain text?

I have a mailbox filled with correspondence from a colleague. About 150 messages in all, some with attachments. I'd like to print out all the messages in that folder but not one at a time. I was hoping to be able to save them all as plain text and convert them to a PDF for two-sided printing. Examining individual messages in Text Wrangler, I see that they are all XML-based messages and, so, filled with XML codes. Is there any simple way to convert or export these without manipulating each individual message?
Yes, I could print each message individually, but that's going to take a long time and waste a lot of paper.
robert

Select the messages. Choose File > Save As…. You'll get a pop-up menu to select Rich Text, Plain Text, or Raw Source.
If you choose rich text or plain text, the messages will appear in TextEdit as if they run together. Select Format > Wrap to Page, and you will see each message starts a new page.
