Lion Mail 5.0 Subject text behind button

When creating a new message in Mail, I see the word "Onderwerp" (Dutch for Subject) is partially behind the button for extra options (see picture below)
I tried resizing the window, restarting Mail, rebooting, but it's still like in this picture. Curious if anyone else has the same problem and if there's a sollution?

I'm seeing the same thing.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Color picker for text in Mac OS X Lion Mail is not working properly

I found a bug in Mac OSX Lion Mail program. I tried it on 3 different machines and they all act the same. When you compose a new message in mail and you change the color of the text to another color than black with the color picker, the text changes to the apropriate color. If you try to select that same text and try to revert it's color to black again using the color picker, the text bocomes blank and you cant see it anymore.
Does anybody have the same problem as I do?

Same problem here - it's a bug which hopefully will be fixed in a future update.
In the meantime, here is a workaround:
Highlight the text you want to change
Click on the color icon
Click on "Show Colors"
Run the "Back slider" a little up, and then all the way back again.
This should make the text black again - it's a little cumbersome to say the least, but it does the trick

How to not "read" Junk Messages In Lion Mail?

In the new setup in Lion Mail, the left column now has the subject line and first couple lines of the message.
To create any kind of action with the message, I have to select it. It then appears on the right and is seen as opened mail.
For most messages, this is okay, but for junk mailing (foreign entitities wanting money etc.), I don't want to open it but I do want to delete it.
Does anyone know how I can delete without "selecting" the message and automatically opening it or do I just have to use the alternate older view of Mail that is provided?

I second this... Some emails I don't want to see at all. (i.e. Prince SoNSo has left me a gazillion dollars, all I have to do is reply...) Is there and edit button in the new mail as similar to the one used on portables?

Lion Mail unable to find "excerpts"/"character subsets" of email addresses (worked in 10.6)

Hi,
I recently started using Lion and feel that Mail search has been downgraded. In Snow Leopard, I could search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address, but this does not work in Lion, and when I called Apple Care about this issue, they confirmed this is proper operation of Lion Mail search and didn't seem to think this was an issue of concern.
For example, I have an account with First Arkansas Bank & Trust. I've received email from FABT from four different email addresses:
First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>
First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>
Account Services <[email protected]>
In Snow Leopard, I could search for "Arkansas" and limit to "From" field, and all emails from FABT would show up. Now in Lion Mail, when I type "Arkansas" in the search field, Mail automatically searches all of my email content, so I get all my FABT emails but also emails from United Airlines talking about fares to a city in Arkansas and so on. I am then given the option of limiting my search to "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or "FIRST ARKANSAS BANK & TRUST <[email protected]>" but not "First Arkansas Bank and Trust <[email protected]>" or "Account Services <[email protected]>." If I do a search for "from:arkansas," I get results for all but "Account Services <[email protected]>." I can only retrieve that email address by searching for "from:aservices" or "from:first" because they appear at the beginning of the email address. Apple Care tech support confirmed that Lion Mail cannot search for an "excerpt"/"character subset" of an email address like "arkansas" in the case of [email protected]. Is it also like this in Mountain Lion? Is there any way to request that Apple improve its search functionality?
Snow Leopard Mail search had no problem searching for subset character strings. e.g. doing a search for "rkans" (including full text search) brings up zero emails in Lion, whereas it worked perfectly fine in Snow Leopard. I'm also not pleased with the loss of the scroll bar arrow buttons in Lion... :/
thanks for any advice you may have

Thanks for your reply! To what extent does Apple listen to such feedback?
I am sure they will read it, but it's impossible to know whether they will take action. I would guess that having a large number of people ask for something increases the chances.
For questions relating to how Mountain Lion behaves you should ask in its forum:

Lion mail won't send

My lion mail won't send. It just spins it's little spinner to infinitum. What can I do? (lion upgrade on imac).

Select Window ▹ Connection Doctor from the Mail menu bar. You should see a green dot next to each of the mail servers you've defined. Is that what you see? If not, click the Show Details button. A drawer opens at the bottom of the window. If there's text in that drawer, please post it. If not, click Check Again and post the text that appears. Edit out any personal information before posting.

Lion mail 5.2 search function

I just switched to Lion and have been disappointed with the Mail app. I'm over 50 and find the new "grayed-out" icons throughout Lion's new graphic scheme really annoying... and Mail is no exception. Ditto the bouncing of lists, texts, etc., at the end of their scrolling range. What purpose is served by this? Why can't they just stop?
Anyway, the main issue I have with Mail is the search function, which seems nearly useless. I can't seem to find a way to search on Subject, Contents or Sender, all of which functions have been vital to my business. I'm not sure what to do about this, because I'm stuck with Lion now and can't go back to Snow.
Can anyone help?

Doesn't work for me. The drop down I get is only the following:
"All/Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Notes/Flagged
trying to search in each of those fields does not bring up the old "Entire Message/Subject/To/From/ etc...fields.
I'm using Lion and it seems that this came on all of the sudden when trying to search in Mail shows NO search box choices. NO Subject / No Entire Message / No From / No To Etc.....
I have multiple machines all running Snow Leopard and only this one machine running Lion but I do not think that Lion was always this way since I updated this machine. I could be wrong. Is this the Lion and Mountain Lion Mail app and I just have not used the Mail Search function on this machine until now?
Anybody know if this is Apple's idea of "slimming down" the existing apps to be more iOS like or is this a malfunction of the most recent security/java update? Either way I hate it and can't find anything without those options. I ordered a T-Shirt it came in the wrong size. Before I could always type in T-Shirt under "Entire Message" and find the right one almost immediately. Now when I try I get the whole inbox it seems. No filtering at all.
Issue? or "New and Improved" from Apple?
I hope this is not the normal behavior for Lion, I already not pleased at the "New and Improved" combination of Search and URL address in the new Safari......It's a joke. Talk about limiting our macs to be more like our phones, geezo before long we will have one search function to use and it will be so time consuming to go thru the results it won't be worth it. If I could remember enough detail to narrow down my results I would not be needing the search function. Of well, thats another feedback letter for Apple i guess.

Lion Mail Search Stopped Working

The search in my Lion Mail doesn't work at all. When you enter some text you get nothing. This is on my Mac Pro. On my Macbook Pro it works. I even deleted all the mail and let it reimport. I even reindexed spotlight. Next step is to remove all the accounts and start over. I stopped using Apple Mail because of this before and chose Thunderbird which works perfect, but Lion Mail came out so I thought to give it a try and it still doesn't work. I have to be able to search.

Brilliant, works every time!
Actually, you were the one who found the solution by trying the following statement:
    set CS_Messages to every message that subject contains "Daily Summary"
Have you any idea why my original script stopped working, just like to know to stop this happening again.
Since the original script has always worked flawlessly on my computer under OS X 10.8.1, the only thing I can think of would be another application interfering with Mail or AppleScript in your system.
By the way, the following version of the script might be somewhat faster when you have a huge number of messages in your mailbox:
set theContents to {}
set theContentsRef to a reference to theContents
tell application "Mail"
    tell mailbox "CS Notepad"
        tell mailbox "Test"
            set CS_Messages to every message that subject contains "Daily Summary"
            repeat with thisMessage in CS_Messages
                copy content of thisMessage to the end of theContentsRef
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
theContents
See the AppleScript Language Guide, Class Reference, list (p. 110 in the PDF version) : “For large lists, it is more efficient to use the a reference to operator when inserting a large number of items into a list, rather than to access the list directly.”

How to change To address in Lion Mail message list pane

I quite like the new Lion Mail app although I return to "Classic Layout" whenever I need to sort and clean up my inbox, but for general use the two-column layout with the message list on the left and the selected message content on the right works nicely for me. I would however like very much to change the "To" line in the message list. Currently my list of received messages shows "To" on the first line to the right of a picture of the "To" person. On the far right of this line is the time or date of receipt in blue. Under this first line is a little icon with "To" or "Cc" - sometimes, and that is followed by the subject. On the right of this second line is the mailbox and account. I have set preview to no lines to keep the list as compact as possible.
What I would dearly like to change is the To address in the first line. I know who the To is - it's Me! Occasionally the To shows another name if that person precedes my name in the list of recipients. What would be VERY useful is if this data showed the From address!
In the Classic View I can move the email columns around, adding new columns and removing them. Either way, in my inbox I can have the From address right in front of me. Is there any way of changing the To address to the Originator address - the From address - in the message list in Lion mail?
Thanks - Lawrence

Thanks, but that controls the header detail shown for the message in the right pane. So if I select a message in the message list on the left pane, the method you describe controls what header detail I see in the right pane when the selected message is displayed. The piece of data I really want to change is the first line of the message information contained in the message list in the left pane. It currently shows the To address in this window, which is useless to me; the From address on that first line - next to a picture from my address book of whoever is sending the message - would be infinitely more useful.

Text wrapping buttons no longer appear in Pages 4.1

When a movable object is selected in Pages, the relevant toolbar appears. When the Text Wrapping button is clicked, however, the drop-down menu is blank:
I tried this in multiple documents and the same thing happened.
The text wrapping tools still work, but it is impossible to tell between them except through trial-and-error.
I just updated iWork to 9.1 (Pages 4.1) and that's when it started happening.
Is this just a glitch in the new version or can I do something to fix it? Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks for any help!
Cheer,
Jellyfrank

Apple removed colors from most of the system windows .
For instance, there is no longer color for the circular buttons at left top of windows
They didn't change the GUI in some applications. It seems that this apply to apps which must be able to run in Snow Leopard as well as in Lion.
Removing the colors in rev 9.1.0 would have introduced inconsistency in Snow Leopard in which iWork '09 will be 'frozen' soon.
Keeping them introduce an inconsistency in Lion but, as you know, I guess that next major version of iWork will be Lion only, I guess that colors will be removed in this one. So the inconsistency will disapear.

For all like me who have been fooled by rss disapearing in Mountain Lion Mail

I have read lots of threads regarding the discontinued support of RSS feeds in Mountain Lion Mail, but unfortunately, after I have installed Moutain Lion (I am really angry with Apple not to have communicate on this point and to have discover it at the end of the install!).
So, after reading a lot on the subject, here's what I have made to get back everything I needed.
First, I wanted to get all my saved articles back. For this I have gone in ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> (you have to show hidden files) Here you have the list of your old rss mailboxes. Select the ones you want to restore and drop them into a folder that's not hidden (in a folder on your desktop for example) because you won't be able to see this folder in the file selection window in the next step.
Then go to Mail->File->Import mailboxes
Select "Apple Mail". Then go to the folder previously created and select all the .mbox files you moved in.
Now you will have a new mail box with all imported subfolders and alle your saved articles. You can then rearrange them as you like.
Now, to renew your feeds subscriptions, you have no other choice than to use another rss app. And to find all your feeds links, go to ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> or the folder previously created and in each .mbox open the info.plist file. In each file look for the string in front of "RSSFeedURLString", double click on it and copy and paste it in your new rss reader.
It's not a clean solution, it's quite long (mainly for the import of rss feeds in the new reader), it forces to have old saved articles in mail and new ones in the new app, but that's the only solution I have found.
If anyone has a better one, I think lots of us will appreciate.
PS: please accept my apologies if everything is not clear, as English is not my mother tongue

Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics.

Hi,
I've come across this problem in which Lion mail doesn't allow shortcuts for bold and italics. I try pressing the short cut for Command + B or Command + I
but it does not affect the text at all. I have to move my cursor to the Bold or Italic icon to change a particular word's form.
Of note, Command + U allows me to underline a word just fine. I also write my mail in the default Helvetica, and in size 12.
Anyone know of a solution? I'm pretty sure it's just a glitch, but it's become a great annoyance for me.
Thanks for your help!

Spinning beachball in Mountain Lion Mail - HELP !!

Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion
Mail is full screen and has a spinning beachball - I cant minimise the screen - I can swipe to bring up the desktop or anyother program, however whenever I go back to Mail I get the beachball.
So - I have done a 'Force Quit'
When I reopen Mail it defaults immediately to the full screen and then seconds later the spininng beachball starts.
I have done a full restart, Mail starts up the same way with the same problem.
I have held the power button in and done a PRAM reset - I still get it opening up the same way.
I've been to Disk Utility and done the verify and repair disk but the utility finds no problems, therfore nothing to repair. I'm running out of ideas!
Help!

If arthur's suggestions don't work -
Quit the application.
Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.mail
Move the folder to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, make sure your mail is there, and then delete the folder from your desktop.
If the application is the same, return the folder to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
