Mac Mail - How to turn off the animated "boxes"

Best place to put this question hopefully ? As they seem to have gotten rid of the dedicated "Mail" forum here.
In mail, how do you turn off them outlines/boxes that magically appear around a whole paragraph or number, etc.. when your mouse gets close ?
Its so annoying, and used to not do this. I am sure some people find this cute, useful and cool. I find it a nuisance since it messes me up when trying to copy and paste text here and there and structurally manipulate emails. My workflow just finds it "in the way" all the time and I never actually use what its purpose is. So I was hoping there was a way to turn it off so it doesn't do that.

Well you can always select 'plain text' from the format menu (or button in toolbar if installed) but of course you will lose formatting for the whole document.

How to turn off the dialog box in the Write to Spreedsheet File

I am saving data in a loop using "Write to Spreedsheet File". When I gave a constant path to this Vi, it was fine. However, when I gave a path defined by a global variable, it consistantly popup dialog box and asked for my choice.
How can I turn off that dialog box?
Thanks.

Simply ensure that the path in the global variable is valid.
It could be that you have a race condition and the global is read before a valid value gets written to it from elsewhere. Can you show us some code?

miniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when the adapter is attached and the TV is off ? And will keeping the adapter connected even if it is not in use, cause damage to the adapter ?

I have my external monitor/tv setup of the left. If I leave the adapter attached with the TV off, I am still able to cross the border/boundry of my MBP screen ! As instead of detecting a TV, the MBP is detecting the adapter as a screen. I do not want to damage my thunderbolt/miniDisplay port by plugging and unpluggin the unit each and every time.
