Leopard 10.5.6 Mail subject column mysteriously moved

Hi, I have been running Mail somewhat successfully since I switched to my new Macbook last August. I am running 10.5.6.
Yet, two days ago, I opened Mail to find the columns moved around in each mailbox. I tried to resort them in View/column menu, and I was able to uncheck every column header and redo the columns in the order that I checked off each selected header, except for the SUBJECT header, which is not in the menu at all. So I can't move it where I want to now, like so: FROM | SUBJECT | etc. The 'subject' column insists on being first, like so: SUBJECT | FROM etc. What is going on here, anybody know? It's not a big deal really, except I would rather have it my way!
(Only thing that happened recently was that when I scanned different folders on my hard drive with ClamXav, it told me I had two infected files in my /Library/Caches/Chache folder. I went in there and moved the two files to the trash. They are still in there. They referred to . . .Phishing . . .and were dated 2006, so they seem to have something to do with mail.)
Thanks for help anybody!

thank you, I am embarrassed as I was sure I tried that! I see that dragging the columns does work. Sorry to bother. . . with Macs the solution to a problem is usually the simplest, most obvious thing!

Apple Mail subject column

I just installed the Mac OS upgrade through Software Update, and now I cannot show the Subject column in Mail. I can sort by it; that option appears on the pop-up menu and the messages move around, but there is no choice in the menu to show the Subject column in the Mail window.
Does anyone have a solution or an explanation?

OK, never mind all of you who may have been running your brains on this. I found a useful post from earlier this year. It was a matter of entering (stumbling, actually) on the correct group of search terms.
And the answer was in the form of a Terminal command: defaults delete com.apple.mail TableColumns
I entered this after quitting Mail, then restarted Mail, and my Subject column was back.
And thank you, Ernie, for mentioning that it is a default choice and won't appear as a column option in the View menu. I won't worry that it's not there.

Mail Subject column

In the mailbox view, when the subject of a message is longer than the column width you can hover the cursor over the subject an in a second or two you are shown the complete subject. Is there a key combination that can be used to see the complete subject without the second or two delay?

as mentioned there is no such keyboard combo, but you can adjust the subject column width so that most subjects fit without having to hover over them.

Subject column doesn't show in Mail

Installed the latest Security Update last night. Was using the WideMail plugin. I was promptly informed I'd no longer be able to use that plugin upon restarting the mail app. Of course I had to reshow all the columns that were previously displayed using WideMail, but I can't get the Subject column up. I've tried restarting and expamding/contracting widths to see if it's hidden somewhere but to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated in this matter.

If you'd like to use widemail (which is a perfect solution for 10.6. imo) after security update, use this little plugin and everything will be like before:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37804/mailpluginfix
If you only want to solve your problem, use a right click on the column bar and check if "subject" is marked.

The subject column

I am using macbook pro built in mail. the list of received e mails show the sender, the time and the attachments, but is not showing the subject of the E mail. I right clicked the header and the drop down list to choose what columns to show do not seem to have a subject. does any one know how to view the subject in the list, or is it not available. thanks.

interesting. the subject column is indeed missing from the list of customizable columns. I assume that means that it should always be present. if you don't have it your Mail preferences are likely corrupt. quit Mail and delete (or move to the desktop) the file ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. ~ means your home directory. you can get to it by clicking on the house icon in the sidebar of any finder window or by going to /users/username.
then start Mail. you'll have to recreate all your email accounts so make sure you know all their settings. once recreated they will recognize their existing mailboxes. see if Mail behaves after that.
Alternatively, if you have a backup, restore com.apple.mail.plist from backup from before the problems with Mail started. Mail should not be running when you do this.

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I'm disappointed with the performance. Any

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

Mail Attachment with attachment name = mail subject name

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter and today I am using hard codes attachment names using the MessageTransformBean. I have read the blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/02/23/xi-dynamic-name-in-the-mail-attachment--pseudo-variable-substitution about dynamic filenames but how do I get the eMail subject as a viriable to create the attachment?
Thanks
Juergen

Juergen my weblog was the simplest suggestion to your issue - you can put the mail subject anywhere in
message get it (and remove) in the adapter module
you can also try to get the
Adapter-Specific Message Attributes from the adapter module
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/content.htm
but I'm not sure it the second solution works with adapter modules - but you can do an easy check

Purchase order by e-mail: changing the e-mail subject

Hello all,
We are sending are purchase orders to the vendors by e-mail.
I would like to know how can I change the e-mail subject to a subject of my choice (for instance the PO number, etc.).
Thanks for your help,
Sivan

Hi,
You can change the e-mail subject to a subject of your choice by following way.
If you want to send a purchase order as (external) mail, for example, to a
vendor, you have to maintain the mail title in the condition record for the
output type (for example in Transaction MN05) on the 'Communication method' tab
page. Enter the mail title in the 'Text for cover page' field. You cannot
maintain an additional mail text.
Hope this will help u,
Deepak

Alert management with custom mail subject

Hello,
I defined a business process, with a control step that throws an alert with a specific message "Error in &MessageTypeFound& " ( &MessageTypeFound& being a container element filled in in a previous step ).
When I look at the e-mail that the alert manager sent, I can see the alert, with the variable properly filled in, so the result in the mail-body is: "Error in WMMBXY".
Now, as a mail subject, I want the same message. In the Alert Category Definitions, I need to fill in the title and this will be used as mail subject.
To be able to use variables in this title, I need to define container elements in the alert category definition. How can I pass the Business Process variable ( &MessageTypeFound& ) to this container for the alert definition ? (So I can use this container element for my dynamic variable in the subject of the alert mail)
Any ideas are welcome !
Thanks

Hi Frederik,
Unfortunately the functionality you want is simply not available ... or well it is but its not implemented very good by SAP.
The workflow step that generates an alert does has a container element 'SHORTTEXT' which can hold placeholders and which is translated into the title of the alert message/mail.
However, the field is defaulted with the text 'Process &_WORKITEM.WORKITEMID&' when being executed via BPM ...
I tried to overwrite it by setting my own 'SHORTTEXT'container element within the BPM but that does not work ...
Regards,
Steven
( Tried everything on SP14 ... maybe something changed in SP15 ... )

Mail subject modification for smart-form SMIV

Hi Experts,
We have implemented ServiceDesk in Solution Manager 7.1 SPS 08 & are using automatic notifications to be generated as alert emails to the customer key users / service desk support team / message processors etc.
We are using Actions under transaction SPPFCADM, which is using smart-form AI_CRM_IM_SHORT_TEXT_LINK_FORM for the email content.
We need to modify the notification mail subject as follows -
Current Mail Subject – 80000xxxxxx : <Incident Description>
Required Mail Subject – 80000xxxxxx : <Incident Description> : <Incident Status>
Can you please suggest, how this can be achieved? What modifications are needed in smart form for the same?

Mail subject storage table

Hi,
    In one program sending mail.When I run background job ,job will created.
    In another report I am displaying all background jobs in perticular date. Now I want that mail subject has to display correspong to perticular job.
   Please tell me any mail title storage table or FM.I checked SOOD,SOFD,SOFIND. No use.
Thanks,
Suma.

Hi Suma,
I dont think what you are doing is correct. There is no direct link between SOOD and TBTCP. So you cannot fetch the records with the way you are doing now. One possible way could be to find the program name which triggers the email and link it with the job name using the program name. Am still trying to figure how to link the email triggered with that of the program name. Lets wait and see if anyone else can suggest a better and alternative approach for this.

Hello Rohit,
There was actually a limitation in previous releases, for external mails it is 50 characters. Check note 975947, it will solve your problem.

E-mail subject (in action)

hello All.
I have an action in billing. That action is a e-mail and use a form (smartform) to generate an invoice (pdf).
When the system sends the e-mail, its sends only the pdf. I need change de subject of e-mail because now the subject of the e-mail is the name of the form (Z_INVOICE) and I want a diferent subject. Aditionally, i want to send some text in the e-mail body.
Does anybody know how to do this?.
Thanks very much for your cooperation.
Mauricio.

Thanks venkata Raja Sundaragiri.
I have the text that I need attach in the e-mail, but i have not been able to put it in the e-mail body and the e-mail subject. How can I do?
Is there a variable or something like that in the Smartforms to do this?
I have some kind of action or processing method that i have to customize or can i use the same action to do both things (send email in pdf and attach the body and the subject)??
Thanks again,
Mauricio

Dynamic mail subject in File2Mail Scenario

We are doing File2Mail scenario. We r sending 5 files in 5 mails with 5 diff subjects by MAIL adapter.
Can anyone guide me how to send 5 files as attachment in one single mail with different mail subjects :
File names are - Employee_Leave,Base,Super,Loss,Profit.

Hey,
you can use dynamic addressing wherein you can provide the mail related information in your mapping.
for example the to, from, subject and content.
so you can map these fields form the input structure or you can have a constant to map it.
refer to this blog it will really help.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
the only differerence in your case is that you need file as attachment so mark the keep attachment field.
it will ask you for a mail structure.
use this structure as your target structure.
