Mac Mail 3 html formatting issues

I have some people I've been working with who recently upgraded to Mac Mail 3 and since a quarantine report they receive about email that was filtered no longer displays correctly. It displays correctly for anyone using anything other than Mac Mail 3 but for them, the first line of the report looks fine but everything after that looks way oversized. The report comes in an html format. Does anyone know of any issues with Mac Mail 3 displaying html formatted emails correctly and if there are any fixes for it?
Thanks

Hi 2point5,
THX for help, but that didn't help me. Maybe I didn't describe my Point exactly.
I receive a email, which have two alternative contents. One is HTML-content and the other is the TXT-content.
When I receive the email with 10.4.11, mail.app offer me the second alternative view (View->Message->Plain Text Alternative (AltAppleP) ) So I can see the TXT version of the mail.
In mail.app 3.5 (Leo) the point is grayed out, like as there is no txt version of the mail. (Same mail…)

Copy formatted text from Pages into Mac Mail loses formatting

Hi,
I have a document template I use in Pages that eventually gets copied into an email for sending (rather than attached, it's the actual email body).
Issue is, when I copy from Pages into Mac Mail, the formatting is horrible.
The closest I have to a workaround, though still not 100% (just way better) is to Export the Pages file to Word format, open the document in Word, copy the text there and paste it into Mac Mail.
It can't be this awkward, can it?
Thanks!

Couple of options:
Use command shift 4 and draw around the table with the mouse curser ~ a png picture of your table will be on your desktop ~ use attach in mail and tick send windows friendly attachments too.
You could also save Numbers as pdf ( Under the print option) and attach that instead.
No doubt there are other ways.

Mac Mail HTML Stationery - Image Drop

Hello,
I'm hoping someone who has a bit of experience developing Mac Mail Stationery templates might be able to help me. I have created my own template based off of a copy of an existing template and am running into some issues, particularly with 'Drag and Drop' images. I have a placeholder within the template that can be changed as appropriate within Mac Mail (by just dragging the image in.) My problem is that I cannot figure out how (or what) controls the scaling of this object. The images that I have tested (that range in size) seem to crop off and do not rescale to the size of the mask. Is there a way to control how these images drag in or make them scale to the best fit of a bounding box? I can't figure out how or what the images scale to and am not very familiar with the variables involved here. Is this something that is impossible to do? ANY advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
Thank you!

My HTML / CSS skills are pretty limiting but if there are any resources out there that someone can recommend that address this, please let me know. I copied one of Apple's html templates and then resized & redesigned as needed. The html code is listed below. I also listed the file called 'description.plist' which seems to control the dimensions of my drop space view (but not the size). Please let me know if you were looking for something different.

SMTP POP Mac mail Yosemite Upgrade Issues

I have used mac mail for years with little or no problem, however, Yosemite is another story.
The SMTP outgoing mail will not work.
Often times when I am trying to figure out the problem by input changes into my mail preferences
the computer does not ask me to save. Thus it all goes back offline. The problem just all of a
sudden happened with no reason and for a week now, off and on I have been trying to fix this.
Apple charges money over the phone, have to drive 30 miles to a genius bar or fix it myself.
Should I try to go backwards to Maverick? My Yosemite upgrade originated from Snow Leopard.
I thought Apple was the computer elite. What was wrong with the old email? I'm so frustrated.

Open Mail app, go to the top panel and select WIndow > Connection Doctor.
What is the error message (or messages) that the Connection Doctor is reporting?

Lion Mac Mail Yahoo IMAP issues

Each time I lauch Mac Mail on my Mac (running OS X 10.7.4), it downloads my entire inbox (thousands of messages) from the Yahoo IMAP mail server. Also, when sending emails, Mac Mail does not always create a copy on the Yahoo mail server. Sometime the copy is there and sometime it isn't.
Anyone else having this issue?

This is definitely not Yahoo-specific, nor is it new. Definitely seems to be a bug in Mail.app. This has been happening at least since 10.5 (am now on 10.8.2), and I have a GoDaddy hosted IMAP account.
Same symptoms...I delete emails on my Mac in Mail.app. I've gotten into the habit of forcing a manual sync. The emails disappear from the Mac, but several minutes or sometimes many minutes later, if I look on my iPhone or iPad, the messages have not been deleted. If I subsequently go look on my Mac, or at the server through a webmail browser - they're back.
However, if I delete the emails from my iPhone or iPad - they really do get deleted.
As stated up above - quitting and reopening Mail.app can force a real sync that gets things going back in sync...it seems like maybe Mail.app somehow forgets to actually sync...so when this starts happening - i.e. I notice deleted emails still appear on my iPad - if I quit mail and reopen it, it also shows the previously deleted email. So the symptoms seem like there is a "cache" of actions (deletes) in Mail.app that is not getting processed to the server. When you quit, this list seems to get flushed and whatever is causing Mail.app not to sync to the server gets remedied and on restart, the not-deleted emails show up because Mail.app now syncs with the server. Occasionally it seems Mail.app somehow can come out of this without being restarted...I'm not sure if that happens when it's "kicked" by some other event, e.g. an incoming message, to sync.
Extremely annoying.

Creating mac mail html signatures

Hi all: All the other mail products (Outlook, etc) allow easy creation of mail signatures as HTML's by a simple click of a link icon.
I cannot find any mention of html signatures in mac mail except for those who know how to write code.
Is this the case? If so, whatever happened to Apple being the user friendly platform as opposed to PC's?
Very frustrated and ironic that owning a mac (since 1985--of course, not the same one) is requiring me to hire someone who speaks and writes computerese.
Please advise.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Mac mail wonky photo issue

I looked but couldn't find an answer to this on apple forums.
I'm using mac mail 3.6, on an iMac with OX 10.5.8. Here's the situation: When I send a certain friend an email, she gets it with a photo of me attached in the upper right corner. (She has a PC with outlook). I have a different photo that I use as a default and it shows up in both the system preferences and my listing in my address book. Why is she getting a photo of me that is only in an iPhoto album (as far as I know?) I checked with another friend who uses a Mac and he gets no pic from me on his mac mail. So why is a picture of me that is only in iPhoto showing up in the mail she gets from me? (she sent me a screen shot and there it was).
Thanks for any help or advice with this.

Thanks BDAqua. This answered the question of why it was showing up. Now, as to why she has it in her outlook contacts is another question best left to her.
Thanks.

Help! Mac Mail and Hotmail issues

Hello. I'm looking for help with Mac Mail. I am a new Mac owner and haven't had any trouble before with hotmail on my ipod and iphone. Upon setting up the new mac and mail account (using a hotmail account) it started receiving messages, approximately 30. During that time, we turned off our Century Link wireless and set up a time capsule as wireless with the Century Link router/modem combo now acting only as a modem. After that, the email account stopped receiving messages. We tried removing the account and readding it and now no messages show up in the inbox at all. (not sure if changing the wireless actually affected any of this, but the timing was coincidental) When I look at "get account info", I can see that there are 543 messages listed under the Hotmail account under the heading "all messages on POP server." However, these messages do not actually show up in the Inbox. I've tried other help sites and as far as I can tell, the incoming and outgoing servers are set right. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mail message formating issue

Hi,
My name is Benoit Rondeux, I switch to mac with a macbook pro and I must say I love it!
By the way, I experienced some issues with mail.app and other mail applications (both windows, linux or mac):
- Even if I set the default font message to Arial, the message still appear in Times in Outlook... I must set the default font to, for example, Verdana,a and than change it before sending to Arial in order to display the correct font in every mail apps.
- I speak french and most of my email are written in french with accentuated characters. Actually, If I reply to a email, all those characters are replaced by chinese signs. I have tried to force the default charset for mail.app to "Latin 1" but It does not work. Again, I have to change the encoding format before sending if i want it to work.
Can someone help me to automate those changes to be sure it will always work?
By the way, as a precision, I always use a HTML-based signature for my business.
Thanks a lot for your help!!

I'm experiencing an issue where the SC approval email is well generated in HTML, but the received (in Notes) mail content is not recognize as an HTML .

Thanks in advance for your help.

EXCEL FOR MAC 2011 Date Format Issue

Excel for Mac 2011 14.1.0 on iMac OSX 10.7.5. I see no forum category for Microsoft Office for Mac so just chose iMac. Checked Microsoft site first with no success.
PROBLEM:
In new spreadsheet I selected one column and formatted to date format.
It was working fine. Then after I'd been doing some editing and having issues, I closed the file then opened it again.
The cells/column I'd formatted for dates was showing the date as strange numbers. Like this: Instead of 9/12 it shows 41894.
Even though the individual as well as column cell format is still "Date" with example style of "3/14" selected, it will not work.
I cannot find a way to "Clear Formatting" either -- only Clear Contents.
However, when I cut and paste the cells to another worksheet the date is fine -- but I've lost all my formatting and don't want to start over. Besides, I need to know what is causing the problem.
HELP!! Is this a bug?

Granny,
You will probably find help on the Microsoft Office website. Excel isn't covered here.

Mac Mail and Cox issues

Husband has an i7 Sony pc with Microsoft Live Mail - set up using Cox .pop settings.
Purchased a Mac Air for him and have been trying to set up Mail using smtp account settings through Cox. I have gone through this many, many times. I finally called Apple and got a guy who pretty much did the same thing. He sent in mail/I sent out mail and it appeared to work. Husband received a few e-mails - all ok. The NEXT am - we got up and all the e-mails were gone. Disappeared.
Please advise as to what could be the problem.

Mac Mail is continuously adjusting the "allow insecure authorization" option on it's own

I've already lost 3 clients due to a lack of timely email response, and I had no idea why Mac Mail was having issues connecting to my email server. I've spoken at length with my web hosting support, and it turns out the options in Mac Mail for "Automatically detect and maintain account settings" and "Allow insecure authentication" are new with Yosemite, in both the incoming and outgoing settings (see below).
Well it turns out the only way for me to be able to even use Mac Mail and have it connect to my email server, I have to have "Automatically..." unchecked, and "Allow insecure..." checked in each and every one of the accounts. I completely hate the idea of having to have anything "insecure" associated with my email, but it's the ONLY way I can get it to function properly, and I don't have the time to integrate everything to another email program at the moment. Not only is this a huge security risk in general, but the program will continuously uncheck the "Allow insecure authentication" option entirely ON IT'S OWN about every 20-30 minutes or so, completely jam up all communication I'm working on, require me to go back through and repeat the same tedious process for each and every one of the accounts, and then ALSO have to totally shut the program down and reopen it for the settings to take effect. In fact, the second of the two images seen above JUST unchecked the "Allow insecure authentication" box between the time it took me to start this post and take the screen shot!!
Something HAS TO BE FIXED with this or it could be a huge issue in a lot of ways. I'm planning on dropping the whole program altogether just as soon as I have the time to properly migrate all of my email setup to another program (which I'm looking forward to less than I would a root canal), but for now I'm just hoping and praying I make it that far without either a major security breach or losing any more clientele. As is, I've lost three clients in just the last week from not being able to correspond on tight deadlines.

Since you are doing a workaround, try deselecting use SSL.

UAG problems with OSX - same problem with Mac Mail and Outlook 2011 (via EWS)

Hi folks,
I'm trying to fix the last snagging issue I have with OSX clients in a UAG / Exchange 2010 deployment:
When trying to connect Mac Mail or Outlook 2011 the connections are very slow to start up, both at initial config and thereafter.
On connection I see lots of the same error re Session Cookies in UAG and no connection in the mail client. If I leave it for a few minutes, sometime many minutes, the errors stop and I eventually get a working connection.
The error is:
"Sesson Attempted to Access Restricted Application"
User with source IP address x.x.x.x tried to access application Exchange EWS that was restricted that was restricted for the session. This might indicate an intrusion attempt by misusing the session cookie.
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Many thanks
Steve

Ruud, no, we didn't find a solution, or rather our solution (so far) is to tell users not to use Mac Mail and to use Outlook 2011 instead, which seems to work fine (after some Office updates!)...and we haven't upset anyone with that requirement
(yet).
There are some very long discussions on Apple support forums about the whole Mavericks / Mac Mail / Exchange 2010 issues.
I do hope to have another go at this problem sometime soon, I'm sure there must be a solution (and my money says it relates our hardware load balancers).
