Linked image in Apple Mail highlighting instead of linking

I'm trying to send an email from Apple Mail with an image that links to a web page.
I made the email by uploading a small html page with the image+ link, then using Safari's Share>Email This Page. I've also tried attaching the image and using File>Add link.
When testing the mail on my working machines (iMac and macBook Pro, OSX 10.10.1, mail verson 8.1) the image highlights with a blue background instead of linking through. If I double-click it opens the image in Preview. Hovering over the image will show the URL in a tooltip, but clicking it only highlights.
The image link works fine on my iPhone, iPad, and older Macbook 4,1 (OSX 10.6.8, mail 4.6), and it works fine on a friend's macbook (OSX 10.9.5, mail 7.3), but not for another friend with the same OS/Mail versions as mine.
Haven't seen any mention of this problem anywhere else and would love to get some guesses as to what might be going on.
many thanks!

I just upgraded to Yosemite and thought I would try Mail again. My first big objection is I want absolute dates instead of relative dates (today, yesterday etc.).
Does anyone know how to change this in Mail?

inbedded is not a word.

Several days ago some of the links in my Apple Mail messages stopped working. Specifically, the links going to some variation of "response beacon" don't work. All I see is a blank screen. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Strange behavior with embedded highDPI images in Apple Mail 7.0

Here's a screenshot from Apple Mail 7.0
The images get embeded with phpMailer so the source may looks slightly different but the width attributes will remain.
Only the first embedded image is affected
I did a testrun with Litmus and all other mails works as expected. Even Apple Mail 5 and Apple Mail 6
Is this a bug in Apple Mail or do I miss something?

I wonder if this is the same problem that I encounter:
I receive faxes in my inbox as tiff files and before Mavericks I could view them properly in-line .. but now only the first one I go to displays correctly .. all other received faxes show this same image.
If I "open" the attachment it is properly displayed .. but in-line it is always the same image that displays .. the first one that I go to when opening Mail.
As far as I can see it is only tiffs sent by my fax-to-email service that show up improperly .. other in-line attachments such as PDF's seem unaffected and display correctly.
I thought that it was related to the coverflow issue that was fixed by the 10.9.1 update .. but no such luck.

I can't cut and paste any images into apple mail

I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet.
I am using a gmail pop account and firefox as my primary browser. It took me a few times to figure this out as the image appears to be attached in my mail, but is removed when I send, such that if I have text and an image in an email the recipient receives only the text. Before I hit send I can see both the text and the image.
I have tried starting again in safe mode and repairing permissions. That has not helped. I can login to my gmail regularly and cut and paste images with no problem.
This is exceptionally frustrating.

Hello. In 2012 you answered a query about the following problem:
"I have had my MacBook Pro for over three years now, without much trouble, but recently I've been unable to send images that I have cut and pasted into Apple mail. I can attach an image that I have saved in my photos and it will send but I can not send an image that I have cut and pasted from the internet."
This problem started with me this morning and it does not happen when I open a test account. The thread stops after you asked if it occurs in the test account, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am using mac mail 3.6 on system 10.5.8.
I hope you receive this, I have never posted in one of these forums.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

Create Hyperlink in MS Excel that links to an Apple Mail email??

I'm thinking there should be a way to do this. Analyzing financial information, I get numerous emails everyday with information I track in Excel. What I need to do is set up a hyperlink in an Excel worksheet that when clicked, takes me to the individual email message in Apple Mail that contains the source of the information.
Since I use Gmail, I know I can link to the individual email message on Gmail's server. But Apple Mail is where I store and read my email.
If this cannot be done utilizing Apple Mail, is there another email client that permits this??
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

LinkABoo and the latest version of MailTags (currently still in Beta) let you create references to messages in Mail. I haven’t tried any of them, but I’d rather use the former for this because it’s a non-intrusive standalone application rather than a plug-in. Plug-ins may have an adverse impact on Mail’s stability.

Locking images in Apple Mail

Hi, I'm trying to line up four photos horizontally in my emails (apple Mail v. 6.6). But when I send them they appear vertical. Is there anyway I can lock them so that they stay horizontal? thanks, Mary

How do I import an image into apple mail signature?

I tried to copy and past my company logo into the signature for my work apple mail. I think it's a .tiff file.
It displayes correctly on my computer, but does not display when sent to others. Both are using Thunderbird.
Am I doing it wrong?

Try converting the image to .PNG (use Preview Export)

Apple mail and logo with links in signatures

Well anyone knows the code for implementing a logo (pdf, jpeg) with a hidden link to a website, in a signature.

Hello Lars.
Since the Mail.app does not support complex HTML composition, it isn't easy but there is a workaround provided in this thread.

Closing Apple mail link

My wife has pretty much exclusive use of our iMac using 10.7.5. I originally set it up even though we both have iCloud accounts. She does not use Apple Mail (Gmail instead) so whenever she clicks on a web link to send mail, the Apple Mail program comes up. Is there any way to make Gmail the default mail program when website links provide an opportunity to send mail and shut down the Apple Mail?

There are no publicly-available e-mail addresses for either the Apple Store nor Apple Customer Service. You'll have to call them.

When I click a link in email client (apple mail), it does not open in firefox. I have checked both Firefox and Safari and Firefox is the default browser.

When clicking a link in either apple mail or even from a word document, nothing happens.

Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like Safari the default and then let Firefox do it again.
See:
* [[How to make Firefox the default browser]]
* [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]

Mail Message URLs like message: ... not working with Apple Mail any more

Links to certain messages are not working for me any more. For example if I drag a Mail to TextEdit Mac OS X creates a correct Link with the scheme: message:<... etc. Those links should open the linked message in Apple Mail. This seems broken for me.
Is there a way to reenable this functionality, via Terminal or so?
I have to admit that I used Sparrow for a short time. It looks like this stole the message-linking. Now I completely removed Sparrow, but it is still not working again with Apple Mail. Any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Markus

nope, same result with the flags, and now my eyes are burning from having used outlook mode instead of classic mode.

Hyperlinks in Apple Mail (OSX 10.9) not working

Hi,
Since last week, I can't use any hyperlinks in the e-mails I open with Apple Mail. These are links pasted in e-mails, links automatically generated, and movies in e-mails that don't work.
I have tried using the control-button, but to no avail. The only option I have is to copy paste to my browser (Safari).
One funny thing I noticed, when I tried sending feedback to Apple Mail is the error message 'The application "Google Chrome" can't be opened. - 10810".
I don't use Chrome. Is it possible that my hyperlinks don't work, because Apple Mail is trying to find Google Chrome? Why would it do so?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Gerben Dangremond

Asking the question is one way to answer it. It turns out Chrome was set as my default browser. I changed it via the preferences in Safari. I never used Chrome on this Macbook Pro, but maybe I accidentally changed the default browser. Or may Google is really taking over.

Apple Mail problem with exchange server

Hi
I configure my both Apple Mail and Entourage to link with my work's MS outlook exchange server. Apple Mail is using Exchange and Entourage is using SMTP. Both work fine receiving and sending while i am in the office. However, when i am home or using USB modem, it will only receive and will not send. Can anyone advice what is the issue?
Thanks

well your work IT guy "should" know which IP address is needed to access from within the work network and from without depending on how he has set up that Exchange server... else it is time to find another IT guy It really is an exchanger server issue, not an Apple Mail issue.
For example, I have been given two IP addresses to use for the outgoing server, and I toggle between one and the other when I want to send email via my exchange account.
hope this helps
