Lion Mail5.1 HTML emails display problems...

Hello all Lion Professionals,
Does anyone know why I see some HTML emails in a very bad way?
When I receive emails that includes pictures and HTML code the message fall apart, the images included in the message are there, but as an attachment...
It doesn't matter how it was the e-mail written 'bad evidence#2' when I've simply send to myself one test note from my own mail app, or simply a get a formatted newsletter 'bad evidence#1' from one partner (which it is perfect in any others mail applications and OS)...
Generally the Apple system emails are displayed properly...
Now I use Mail5.1(OS Lion) but I've face this problem before with Snow Leo too!
Just for checking this problem and the system, I've use for Thunderbird for Mac, and this problem does not appear at all, unfortunately Thunderbird does not fit my needs for other reasons.
I dont know what to do, if anyone can help please do it!
TNX in advance
Ghermy

Hi,
I just hope that I would have a great day, and this command line will change the way I can receive HTML emails... I did what U suggest but the prob remain, it is still here :-(
and after I run the line : defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 1
and test again with: defaults read com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing I get '1' as a result, it is not suppose to change something...
I'm dissapointed, I'm still make puzzles :-(
Anyway U help me more than anyone! TNX! :-)

I tried to fix an email display problem by deleting

I tried to fix an email display problem--only a quarter of the messages appear on the screen--the second time this happened--by deleting my accounts and re-entering them. Now although the mail icon on the home page says I have 30+ messages, when I click on it, I get a screen with the word Mailboxes at the top but nothing underneath and nothing else on the screen except two blank boxes. In one it says "No Message Selected". How do I reset mail when this happens again as I assume it will.

Hey PGP,
My suggestion would be remove the email, restart the ipad and then connect to that specific e-mail. Sometimes some emails hosts tend to have problems with specific device. You were not clear what email service you are trying to connect it with.
I hope this helps. (If it did, don't forget to rate as a helpful answer)
If not feel free to give me a shout.
Best of luck.

Sending HTML email having problem Hotmail

I am sending a HTML email with embedded images the images are appearing fine in Outlook and Yahoo, but in Hotmail the images are displaying but also showing up as attachments. Has anyone had this problem?
thanks

Hi,
I've had a similar problem. I'm trying to outsource my images and style sheets from our website.
I add a text part to the email also and this then shows in Hotmail. The HTML part is still ignored. My code is the following...
private static boolean sendMessage(String[] to, String subject, String message, String from, String[] filelocation) {
    try {
      String recievers = StringWizard.arrayToText(to, ", ");
      System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : creating a new email for " + to[0] + " from " + from + ".");

      prop.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

      InternetAddress toAddress[] = new InternetAddress[to.length];
      for(int i=0;i<to.length;i++) toAddress[i] = new InternetAddress(to);
InternetAddress[] reply = { fromAddress };
MimeMessage myMessage = new MimeMessage(mail_Session);
myMessage.setFrom(fromAddress);
myMessage.setReplyTo(reply);
for(int i=0;i<to.length;i++) myMessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress[i]);
myMessage.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
myMessage.setSubject(subject);
Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
// add html as the first part of the email.
// add html.
boolean sendHTML = UserHelper.HTMLEmails(to[0]);
if(sendHTML) {
System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : Rendering text/html email to " + recievers);
MimeBodyPart htmlpart = new MimeBodyPart();
htmlpart.setContent(StringWizard.stripJavascript(StringWizard.toHTML(msg.toString())), "text/html");
mp.addBodyPart(htmlpart);
// add default stuff (text).
// add text.
System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : Rendering text email to " + recievers);
MimeBodyPart textpart = new MimeBodyPart();
textpart.setText(msg.toString());
mp.addBodyPart(textpart);
// if we are sending any files with this email add them.
boolean attached = false;
if(filelocation!=null && filelocation.length>0) {
for(int i=0;i<filelocation.length;i++) {
File attachment = new File(filelocation[i]);
if(attachment.exists() && attachment.isFile() && attachment.canRead()) {
System.err.println("Email.sendMessage() : Attaching file " + attachment.getAbsolutePath() + " to email bound for " + recievers);

if(attached==false && !sendHTML) myMessage = addMessageHeaders(myMessage, cttext);
myMessage.setContent(mp);

HTML email - link problem

I created an HTML email in dreamweaver. It looks great on my Mac and in Mac Mail. I sent it out and some people on PCs have a blue box around the links. Much like the ones in DreamWeaver when you are working on file. Even to the point where the slices are out of place because blue stroke takes up space.
Do you know how to fix this? Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much! It's the first time that I received an answer and it was quick,
easy and perfect! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Entourage X HTML email display issue

I started receiving HTML based emails (i.e. like those from eBay, PayPal, etc) with nothing in the message body but a blank white page.
This problem started 2-3 months ago. Before that I was able to read HTML-based email. I did not change any settings or anything, this problem suddenly started itself.
Does anyone know the fix for this? I have to turn off the HTML display function for now so that I can read what's written in the email.
Thanks

If your question concerns Entourage, you might also want to search/ask in the newsgroups where the MS experts hang out:

sending as and email. I've posted my page and I use the "Send page
as email" to send it as a newsletter. It send fine and I see
everything and click on all the link that I need to.
I've sent myself a test email to make sure the graphics come
up, which they do, I hit Reply and the hotspots show up?
Do I need to create the links diffrently or what other method
do I need to do to get rid of these rectangles?
Thanks,

TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

ICloud email display problems

Hi there,
Recently emails sent to my iCloud account don't appear to open in full from my mac. I have no problems on my iphone but on my mac, the body of the email appears blank. Anyone else with the same issue and if so, any way of fixing this?
Many thanks,

You need to change the email address used for the ID. How is included here:

Make sure that you do NOT create a new ID/account

How can I send HTML emails that display in Mail?

Hi,
I have an email newsletter that I recently have begun experimenting with in HTML. The problem is, when I try to use HTML, the message displays properly in things like Yahoo! webmail, but in Mail for OSX, it displays like a regular text message, images and formatting are not used. I'm sending the messages from PHPList. Is there something I need to add to my code to get it to display correctly?
Thanks much.
-Jonas

Well, I did check the layout in Safari, and it looked fine. Since I'm not sending the messages from Mail (since it's for a rather large mailing list handled by PHPList), selecting "Mail the Contents of this Page" wouldn't really do very much for me.
If I do try to send the page using that technique, it does work. But I have to use PHPList to compose and mail the message. I just need to know if there's any other code I need to add to make it display in Mail. I can receive other HTML emails no problem, but mine just shows up as text, disregarding images and other elements. I just don't know what's going on here.

Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display. The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom. And the left side of the content is not visible. I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct. I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available. When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart... The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7. The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion. I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.

Lumia 920 no HTML email?

four days into my first WM phone, I cannot find the settings to receive my emails in HTML. Are there?
Very frustrating to see garbled messages instead of a HTML mail.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
As well as an issue with the phone settings, this issue could also depend on the mail server you use.
If you set up the email account to a non-Microsoft server as "Outlook (Outlook.com, Exchange, Office 365)" all HTML emails appear as plain text
If you set up the account using "Other Account" and use IMAP, all HTML emails display correctly.
This might suggest that the "Outlook" implementation on Windows Phones is specifically developed for 'Microsoft' servers.
We can therfore assume that this will affect all Windows Phone Users that wish to use ActiveSync on non-Microsoft servers or non-supported platforms such as Exchange 2003.
Thanks.

How to view all pages of a multi-page HTML email in Mac Mail 5+ (Lion to Mavericks)?

In previous versions of Mac Mail (up to that included with Snow Leopard, Mail 4), it was possible to scroll through all pages of a multi-page HTML email, like that send from the Tivoli Storage Manager reporting system.
Since Lion, that has not been possible. The first page displays, but that's it.
As a possible complication, I'm accessing an Exchange server, not IMAP.
I have not been able to find a setting that might be related to this, nor have I found anyone who seems to be perturbed by this issue. Perhaps there's very few of us trying to read multi-page Tivoli reports on a Mac.
In any case, I would prefer not to switch to a different mail app, or sign on to the Outlook Web Service version of our email to see the full report.
Any thoughts?

I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer. The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem. By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1. The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto". I don't know whether other destinations also cause the problem of the page not printing with old versions of Reader.

Some HTML Emails Do Not Display Properly

Recently, some HTML emails do not display properly in Mail. All I see is HTML. Yet, 98% of my HTML emails render properly.
Any thoughts on why this happens with some emails? Is it a Mail issue or are these emails not coded properly?

Hello Tony.
Could be a combination but since Mail renders 98% of of all HTML messages properly (using Safari as the engine), this indicates it is a coding problem.
I'm not a big fan of using HTML with email since it introduces a number of problems. If everyone used Plain Text for message composition, the majority if not all problems experienced with email would be eliminated.

HTML Email Problem

Hello,
I am creating an HTML email. I sent the email to someone who
opened it with Entourage on a mac - it looked great. Then I sent it
to some people who use Microsoft Outlook - it had some issues - the
main div tag was extending all the way to the right of the window,
but I had set the div to a fixed width of 600px. Also the image
maps that I had created for external links were now not over the
locations I had put them on (they had shifted out of place)
As I said, no problems in Entourage - it displayed and
functioned exactly how I intended. But in Microsoft Outlook, I had
the above issues.
Any help would be much appreciated. I can send you the email
so that you can see what I am talking about.
If this is not the right place to post concerning HTML
emails, I would appreciate some guidance as to where I should go.
Thanks
Kit

Yep. As does JangoMail.
