Mail doesn't display my html

I'm tearing my hair out over this. Solve this for me and I'll love you forever! :-)
I have a shell script running on a Linux machine to generate multipart mail messages. These display perfectly in Thunderbird (PC or Mac) but the html is missing when I open them in Mac mail. Switch to plain text and they look fine, but the html just doesn't display.
I've tried Snow Leopard and Lion with the same result.
Anyone come across this problem? Anyone any ideas?

Thank you Austin, that was exactly the problem: the overall (multipart/mixed) boundary was properly terminated, but the others weren't.
I must have looked at that a hundred times and not seen it. I've corrected that and now it's working.
I guess thunderbird is just more tolerant of format deviation than Mac Mail!

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line.
My preview shows first three lines of email, but when I chose the email specifically mail doesn't display any lines of text. Been this way for about ten days. Please help. Ben

Awesome. Rebooting the phone worked. I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown). thank you for your help.

After upgrade to OS X10.6.7 Mail doesn't display pix. Missing plug-in instead. Already reset Java

After upgrade to OS X10.6.7 Mail doesn't display pix. Missing plug-in instead. Already reset Java to default.
Did not find any other suggestion online.
What's happening?

Hi
Is it not displaying any type of picture attachment (JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG)? Is it any message that you view, from any sender?
How did you reset Java? You may want to clear the caches as well. Empty ~/Library/Caches & /Library/Caches/.

Problem with video skin doesn't display on html although the video played normally.

I used "Adobe media encoder" to convert a video file to "FLV" format, so that I can import to "Adobe Flash CS5" . I have chosen all the component buttons and tried to "publish preview" on to html but the video skin doesn't display although the video does. Two swf file skin file + fla + swf movie + html are all in the same folder.
Please help....I have tried to fix this problem for 10 hours already and still have no luck, tried to search online for solution but counldn't find anything.

I already gave you the answer to your problem and now here is
the proof:
http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin/dancin.swf
Notice the skin?
http://www.johnkalnin.com/test/dancin.html
Notice the lack of a skin?
This is because the skin is in the wrong directroy. If I put
the skin in the same folder as the HTML file, not the swf, it
works. So if you would do what I said a few posts ago and make this
work:
http://www.mikelrouse.com/SteelExternalAll.swf
Then your problem would be solved. The problem is that the
skin path must be defined by the html file calling the swf file,
not the location of the swf file.

Transferred mail doesn't display "most recent" messages in iOS3

I just setup a brand new Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server and began transferring mail from offline mailboxes to the IMAP structure on the server. This works fine in Apple Mail, as it displays the entire message list and keeps a local cache. However, this does not work properly on my iPad, iPhone or those same iDevices belonging to my colleagues.
Instead, it displays a seemingly "random" list of 200 messages rather than the "most recent" messages.
An extensive search of Apple Discussions yielded three very similar cases, all seeming to involve the transfer of mail from one server to another with similar results (errors).

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11318599&#11318599
Has this been solved? Can someone offer me/us some help?
FTR:
I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.4), the server is also up-to-date and the iPhones/iPads are as well (3.1.3 and 3.2 respectively).
Thank you,

the message just isn't seen as a multipart message.
What do you mean by that exactly? Only the plain text version is displayed?
Send me one (tom at bluesky dot org). Not forwarded or copied -- send it to me as if I were one of the normal recipients.

E61 doesn't display cyrillic HTML email attachment...

Nokia E61 build-in email client correctly recognizes all Russian encodings in plain-text email messages. But if the message contains HTML attachment written in Russian, E61 fails to display it properly - what I get is just a garbage of ISO-8859-1 accentuated symbols; looks like E61 fails to parse and recognize encoding parameters in MIME boundaries.
Heres a short example (fragment of headers and message body that is being displayed incorrectly). Note that it's completely OK with the subject, the problem is only with the body.
Subject: =?KOI8-R?B?ySDQz9PMxcTOycog1MXT1CDTIEdNQUlM?=

Would you please provide me the any other way to attach a UTF-8 encoded file. Since I noticed that the (.html) file attachement that I am sending along with the mail is not UTF-8 encoded.
This is the reason why the same html markup text (along with the non ASCII) characters are rendered correctly(in all browsers), when I was using an external UTF-8 Editor (gedit) and saved the .html file in UTF-8 format.

Mac Mail doesn't display new Yahoo messages

Mail application on my Mini was somewhat erratic so I did the usual trick of removing "com.apple.mail.plist" and restart application. Now all my accounts are working as they should be except Yahoo.
I deleted and added Yahoo account twice, the settings are OK but I can't see my new messages for this particular account. (IMAP)
Yahoo account is working. I can send and receive from my iPhone and iPad.
Mail displays the folders on Yahoo server.
I can see the "Sent" messages.
At the bottom left of the sidebar, I can see incomiing messages but once they are retrieved no new messages are in the Inbox.
Can someone please help?

I checked email several minutes ago. Activity Monitor now shows it as using 0% of CPU time. When that's the case it's now using any power at all. Every so often it will "wake up" to check for new mail. When that happens it will briefly use some CPU power. That interval can be controlled with the setting for "Check for new messages" in the General panel of Mail's preferences.
You didn't ask about RAM, but when Mail is idle I'd expect it put minimal demands on RAM.

Firefox doesn't display my html properly (Like it is looking like on my editor). Explorer displays the page like my html editor.

Hello,
I develop my web site with a html editor. When I use preview, everything is fine. If I use Explorer, everything is fine also but if I use Firefox to display the page, the images and text are not where they should be.

If you use MS software to generate page code then make sure that you disable VML (MS Office) code in the web authoring settings. Otherwise only IE will be able to display that website properly.
You can see VML as green comments in the View > Page Source.

Mail doesn't display the full body of messages

An example: my bank sends me an email that I have a new bill from whoever. The email contents display as you would expect until just after the due date for the bill, and then it's just blank. I've tried this with Load Remote Images both off and on, with the sole difference being whether the bank logo displays or not. The same email displays in its entirety (except for the logo) on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, with LRI set off (which I prefer for security reasons). This happens a LOT with all sorts of emails, not just from the bank. It's a total pain because I have to schlep my laptop instead of my iPad Air on trips just to get non-mangled email (and a non-crashing browser, but that's another story). This isn't new, BTW, it's been happening on previous releases of iOS.

Another quirk I've just noticed. Sometimes the mail WILL display completely at first and then after I look at another mail, it changes to displaying with the body missing. This is weird.

Mail doesn't display mails in Inbox after fresh start

After starting my MBP, and on first startup of Mail, I do not see my existing mails within the inbox.
To resolve this issue, I can either:
1) restart Mail
2) switch to an existing mail subfolder and then back to the main inbox.
After either option I see my old mails displayed.
Any idea why this happens?
It started after upgrading to SL, never had this issue under 10.5. before.
Thanks

It gets Mail to rebuild the index for the selected mailbox. If it's an IMAP account, Mail will refresh all the messages from the IMAP server. If it's a PoP account, Mail just reindexes.

Help me ditch Outlook! Apple Mail doesn't display messages for all accounts. Thoughts?

I have two IMAP accounts, both GMail. One account always shows messages (Gmail in the screenshot below) but the other usually does not. I've deleted the account, rebuilt it etc and nothing works. When I do get messages to display, as soon as I change folders then go back the messages have disappeared again.
Both accounts are set up the same way. One the account that is not working (Ruddell Consulting in the screen shot), I see the total unread message count under the Mailboxes window but the sort column and preview windows are blank. When viewing the common inbox I only see mail from one account.
I'm trying to get rid of Outlook 2011 but with the same account settings in Outlook 2011 both accounts work as expected so I'm stuck with it until I can get this resolved.
Any thoughts?Thanks!
Jim

I found the problem. Or at least a workaround. I use Google Mail and some folders in my Gmail account were causing problems for Apple Mail. I removed the folders and Mail works as it should.

Mail doesn't display properly in outlook

hello
when i send mail using mail.app, it seems to be doing odd stuff without me realising - i need to use rich text so i can use colors, but when it's received by outlook users, the font changes half way through, and little square blocks appear which i can't see on my screen. this is obviously related to that fact that i copied and pasted into my email, but how do i make it appear at their end the same as on mine?
it seems to be that outlook's a bit weird - but how do i be as weird as outlook?
i have the same trouble whereby sometimes, when someone sends me something with special characters in, when i reply or its quoted, the special characters (eg, é) changes to +AOk or something silly like that. how do i stop that?

This can sometimes occur if you are using a font that is not available on the windows machine. It will substitute with it's default font if it cannot find the corect one.
Try a test using a basic font like Arial or Times New Roman and see if you get the same result. IF all looks good, then you've fixed the problem. If it's still mucked up??? Well the you got me, I'm stumped.

Mail won't display HTML mails

I am having the problem that mail does not display HTML mails properly but shows them als plain text. Well, at least kind of. I went through all settings in Mail and Safari and whatever I might think of but no success.
Not even HTML mails from Apple are displayed correctly.
Any idea what could wrong?

I find this kind of funny because I just turned off all HTML in Mail on purpose with a Terminal command.
Has anyone else been messing with your computer?
I don't have the Terminal commands to redo HTML here at the office , will have to wait until I get home, but if you trash the preferences for Mail that should fix it.
Quit Mail then go to user/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.mail.plist
Then restart Mail and see what happens.
There is another one with the same name in /Library/Preferences that you can trash as well if that doesn't work but it's most likely your user preference. If no one was messing with your computer probably just a corrupt preference because there is no way to turn HTML off in Mail other than through a Terminal command line that changes your user preference file. You can't have done it by accident.
