Losing faith in Mail - am I missing something?

I'm really starting to lose faith in the standard Mail client in OSX Lion.
If I forward a message, the mail client adds the entire routing table of the original email as text within my forwarded message, that makes all my forwarded messages look terrible.
This doesn't happen when I reply to a message, only when I forward one.
It also doesn't happen when I Forward as attachment (although IOS Mail can't read emails where I've used Forward as attachment)
I've looked through all the settings and can't find anything obvious - I can't believe everyone else using Mail would accept this so I'm guessing something is wrong with my settings.
Any ideas gratefully received...

Thanks to Bart and Barney for their answers but I don't think I've explained myself very well.
When I forward an email in any other email client I get the typical header from the original email
This header only consists of the fields;
From
Sent
To
Subject
When I forward an email in OSX Mail the header that is placed at the beginning of the mail consists of these fields
From:

This just makes any email I forward unreadable for the recipient as it's full of email code that should remain under the bonnet.
Any thoughts?

You must be running iOS 5 in order to have that feature. You also must have an IMAP email account for the feature to work.

Mail 6.6 missing plug-in for PDF view, can't save to RTFD file

Hi,
I see there are some similar queries about this, but no definitive answer. I can't seem to save to RTFD file format, and my sent mail indicates a missing plug-in for where the PDF attachment should be.
I did mess around with the Mail Library a bit to transfer across my mail database from an older machine. Something which did not go smoothly at all.
Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.

MX change - missing something obvious

Good day,
In need of some advice... I'm probably missing something that's staring me right in the face.
6 weeks ago, I changed our MX records. Old MX records (call them ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com) pointed to our soon-to-be-gone sendmail relay. New MX record (call it mx1.example.com) points to a load balancer in front of our 2 brand new (and really awesome !) Ironports C-series.
Now, for all legitimate traffic, and most of our spam, everything is working a-ok.
However, SOME of our mail traffic is still coming in through the old sendmail boxes.
The old MX records' TTL was 1 week. Our current TTL is 1 hour. When possible, I spot-checked the DNS for some of the offending senders, and they return the new MX record for our domains.
Does anyone have ANY insight as to why some domains seem to be ignoring our TTL or using now 6-week-old records ?
Tearing my hair out,
Jad

It is not uncommon for spammer to cache or even maintain their own list of SMTP servers. Basically if they find any server that will accept email even without an MX record point to it they will send it spam. I know this may be hard to believe but I have put a mail server on the Internet without and MX record and a month later I get significant spam volumes. We (at IronPort) have heard many customers who continue to get large spam volumes to legacy mail servers even though there is no MX record pointing to them. We have run into this as a common problem "I'm still getting spam, even after I put my IronPorts in place." An investigation show the email did not go through the IronPort, but instead through a legacy system which does not even have an MX record.
As a rule, we ask that Internet facing port 25 access be blocked to all non-IronPort legacy email host.

I have just put my mates birthday in his contact along with his E mail, address and so on.
I then went into my calendar to find how it was displayed and nothing was there.
OK I thought I'll add it in calendar and only found a setting for meeting, memo and anniversary.

Realizing 2 Glitches Unless I'm Missing Something

Number 1.. The "Mail" app that comes pre-loaded on the home screen to access my gmail account is not letting me.. I am 200% positive the username and password are correct because I double check on my laptop that my login information was the same... I keep on getting a message saying "Cannot get mail" "the user name or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect"
Number 2.. The camera and video camera seem to keep freezing up and when its not doing that its taking pics without me pressing anything when im in the application.
If i'm missing something please help me to become aware...

The generic mail app that came with the phone to the right of the "phone" interface when opened asks for

I am missing something in integrating iMac w/ iCloud. Plz help.

I am trying to get Photo Stream up and running on my iMac, iPhone, and iPad, but have run into trouble. I have upgraded iPhoto to 9.2. I have 10.7.3. I am in the Cloud (I have the email, contacts, Find my Phone, calendar, and iWork icons). I go to the iMac setup step that starts with the Photo Stream splash screen that says "No, Thanks. Turn on Photo Stream".
I click "Turn on Photo Stream" and get the iCloud splash screen that has the "Move to iCloud" button.
I click on that and get the Find My Phone map and box where I enter in my password. I enter that and get the grey textured screen that says to use the app, go to iCloud.com
I click "Go to iCloud.com" and see the light blue map and am told to enter my password AGAIN. I do and my devices are located (this wasn't the goal, as I HAVE my devices).
I click on the cloud next to "My Devices" and I see my 5 icons (mail, contacts, calendar, find my phone, and iWork), but no sunflower photo stream icon.
WHAT AM I MISSING???????

I went to Sys Pref. > iCloud.
Sys. Pref. changes from the Show All view to the iCloud splash IN Sys. Pref. and has the button "Move to iCloud", which I pushed.
I so appreciate your help, Winston Churchill, and yours, Csound 1, but as I have copied above, I HAVE tried that. Pardon, my frustration at this point, but I have tried every way to H*l! I can see this calls for a phone chat. Thanks anyway.

I thought I read this summer that with iOS 6 if you deleted an email on one mobile device, it would delete that email on your other mobile devices. This does not seem to be the case but it sure would be handy. Am I missing something?

Perhaps you're thinking of iCloud?
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/calendar-contacts-mail.html
I'm not sure if deletions are synched as are new messages - I don't use iCloud for mail myself - but it might. Someone else here might know for sure, or you can ask in the iCloud forum.
For other email providers, it's always been the case the if your email account is IMAP or Exchange, mail deletions appear on all devices since they're all just looking at the same database of messages on the email server.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

HT2792 Just purchased from an airport store the MagSafe Airline Adapter so I could use my MacBook Air on a long haul flight. But, the airline adapter plug doesn't fit the socket. Am I missing something?

I purchased at the airport last week before a long haul flight the MagSafe Airline Adappter so I couod keep working on the MacBook Air without fear of the battery running out before I had completed the necessary work. The shop assistant assured me the kit worked on all planes but......the socket on the flight, both outbound and inbound, was the normal female 2 pin/3 pin socket that I used to use for my old thinkPad. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious here
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Geoff

Hi CaptFred,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand your point and have indeed separated them. Since sending the message I have visited the Apple Store to check the picture of the accessory in case I was missing something and I wonder if I am missing the 20mm adapter but, over and above that, I just dont see the right size/shape empower port socket in the plane seat, only the traditional 3 pin/2 pin sockets. I wonder if the salesman was selling me a pig in the poke because the Apple Store also says that it fits some commercial airlines whereas the salesman told me it worked in all flights. I suspect I will need to go to the airline companies direct to see which planes have this particualr Empower port. In the meantime I am tempted to ask for my money back. Geoff

For the love of Jeebus, please tell me I am missing something with PP's janky audio workflow

OK, I've read the help docs, gone through the tutorials, watched the videos. Still I am not finding an efficient workflow for dealing with audio in PP. Let's face it, audio in 5.5 was completely baffling to us newbies jumping ship from FCP 7, and I thought the CS 6 update was going to simplify things. No dice. As I am a somewhat recent transplant, I am willing to admit that…. wait, nay, I'm HOPING that I am probably missing something here and that it's just stupid operator error. Fingers crossed.
Here's my situation. I am editing a documentary that has hundreds of hours of footage and thousands upon thousands of clips. We are working with three different kinds of audio: stereo, mono 1 & 2 (interviews with a lav mic on channel 1 and boom on channel 2) and mono (interview on channel 1 with lav microphone only). Here's my problems:
If I set the audio so that they're all stereo clips
Then I'm running into problems with the mono 1 & 2 tracks. Say the boom audio is better on the right channel, and I want to silence the left. I turn the left channel off. Then I want the boom audio to be on both channel's equally… well, I can't figure out a way to do that. In FCP, I would just put the pan to center, and the audio would play the right channel's audio on both channels equally. With PP, panning does nothing but adjust how much of the boom is heard, as opposed to how much the lav (now silent) is heard. I can't find a way to pan the boom to the center, so that it is heard equally on both channels.
If I set the audio so that they're all mono 1 & 2 clips
Doing this solves the boom/lav problem as listed above, as the mono tracks seem to center pan and play on both channels equally, so simply deleting the lav works well. However, now if I have a stereo song that I want to keyframe some fades in (say a music bed playing in the background that I want to fade lower when a person starts talking)… now I have to pen tool in keyframes for the left track AND the right track separately, try to get the fades to match on each track, then separately fade the audio back in for each track. So essentially I've DOUBLED my work for each of the tracks I've marked this way.
As a note, I love having found this out the hard way, after editing a 20 minutes interview into bits and pieces scattered across my timeline, and then finding out I should have set the audio to Mono 1 & 2. Easy enough, I thought, as I went back to the Project window, found the original clip, then went to modify the audio so it would work in my project. I got the extremely helpful message that "Any changes you have made to the number of clips or the type of those clips will not be reflected in the existing timelines. Do you want to continue?" YEAH! That's super. You might as well have put "Making this change now will do nothing to help you. You'll have to go back and edit everything again. Do you want to continue?" Great, Adobe, thanks. Bang up job there.
I was really happy about not having to transcode in PP like I used to have to do in FCP 7. That was until I realized how the audio worked, and for the latest scene of this documentary had to go through every clip/camera download to figure out how the audio had to be set-up before I could start editing. Transcoding a big job used to take me a day. Configuring the audio in PP for this one scene took two.
I would be the happiest person on the planet to find out that I've been wasting my time and that there is a simple solution for all of this. Hope someone can point me in the right direction and thanks for any help!

I'm not suggesting any of this as a model, and your needs are different than mine.
1) Go to Preferences -> Audio. Under "Default Audio Tracks", Set "Mono Media: Mono". Set "Stereo Media: Mono" (Choices from the pull-down for both are Use File, Mono, Stereo, 5.1, Adaptive)
You can change these, but I don't. I am using both mono and stereo tracks. I set up a custom sequence with the particular combination of stereo and mono tracks I want.
2) Set audio for clips by selecting all clips and going to Modify Clip -> Audio Channels Tab. Under "Number of Audio Tracks" there should be a "1". Under Channel Format it should read "Stereo".
I am not sending the audio to anyone else to edit further. I am doing a final stereo mix. If camera one is set up to record 2 mikes as a stereo track, then I leave that unchanged and put it onto a stereo track. If camera two is set up to record one mike onto channel 1 as ambient sound and channel 2 is a mono feed from a sound board, then I modify those clips as Preset Mono, 2 audio tracks, Channel format Mono, and that puts the left source channel (or whichever I choose) onto Audio track 1, channel 1 (of one), and right source channel onto audio track 2, channel 1.
4) Delete all the existing audio tracks in the sequence and replace them all with mono tracks, so all tracks in the sequence are mono.
I modify the tracks while creating the sequence, and ultimately use a custom sequence.
Under my Effects Controls panel there is only Channel Volume, and nowhere to adjust the pan.
I'm using the mixer, not the effects control panel.

IPod (music) app on the iPad is terrible, or am I missing something?

I think the iPod app on the iPhone is pretty great, but the iPod app on the iPad 2 is really, really awful. Am I missing something? My main issue with it is that you can't browse by genre. There is a Genre tab at the bottom, but when I tap then and then tap a genre, instead of getting a list of artists in that genre, what I get is a little popup window that lists every song by every artist from every albums within that genre. It's completely worthless. On the iPhone I can tap a genre and then see the artists in that genre. Tap an artist and I see the albums by that artists, then I can tap on a specific album and then play it. That's what I want to do. Is there some way to do this with the iPad version that I'm missing?
Even the Artists tap is far from ideal. If you tap that you do see all of the albums by that artist, but they are all listed in one popup window and you can't tap an album and just see the tracks on that album and just play that album. You can start playing on a certain album, but when that's done it will go onto the next album in the list, and that's not what I want.
Is there any way to get the iPhone's iPod app behavior that I like?

I agree. It is certainly one area that can be significantly improved on the iPad.
Send feedback to Apple on it.

I'm having trouble scheduling a "repeat" for an appointment that recurs, e.g., "the second Thursday of each month," rather than on a specific date. It seems that it can only repeat a given date. Am I missing something??

For iCalendar: Is there a way to schedule a repeat for an event that repeats, e.g., "the 2d Thursday of the month."? All I see are options that will repeat (every day, month, year, etc.) on a given date. Am I missing something?

loyev1,
There should also be a "Custom..." selection in the (every day, month, year, etc.) drop down menu. Select "Custom..."
