Mail Email Preview Panel Display Error

I've recently upgraded to Lion and, with it, to Mail 5.1. I'm having a problem with the new display in Mail. The Preview pane is only displaying the top half of the lines of text in the 'From' and 'Subject' fields. The previewed lines of text from the main body of the email are showing correctly. No problems when I change to Classic View using  Mail Preferences / View, but I would really like the preview facility to display properly. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, this is one of the big downsides of Mac Mail: It always tries to embed attachments into emails. The one go-around that I am aware of is Mail Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer). It's a solid fix until Apple gets its act together.

  • PDF's in Mail and Preview not displaying correctly

    Ever since upgrading to Yosemite PDF's are not displaying correctly. Every time i generate a PDF of a sales quote it seems to lose a lot of information.
    But the strange thing is.....
    Preview and Mail both show PDF with missing text.
    When I open using "Quick Look Attachment" within Mail or Adobe Acrobat it looks perfect.
    When emailed, recipients (mostly Windows users) seem to have no problem opening it and seeing all text.
    So far seen that issue is only in Preview and Mail
    Only has happened since upgrading to Yosemite
    PDF is created using web based ZOHO CRM to build quotes.
    See image below to see the difference in what Mail and Preview sees compared with how other apps open the same PDF.
    NOTE: sensitive info has been purposely blurred on image.

    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one. 
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Email previews, but displays nothing when open.

    I was having no issues with my email until recently (since the latest two updates.)
    When I go to all inboxes, it shows my emails, and has previews that are legible. If I click on one of the emails, it goes into that email, but only shows From, To and the date.
    I reset my phone, and when I went into mail, it had to download all messages again, and showed them as new. I went into each of them and read them. The next time I went into my mail again, the above issue resurfaced.
    Any ideas?

    I too am having the same problem. It started yesterday afternoon. It was working fine after my last software update. I'm on the Bouygues network in France. Any ideas how to fix it?

  • 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.

  • I don't know what happened, all of a sudden, the content of here body of my email is not displayed. I can only see the preview lines. I must have inadvertently touched some thing, any idea what happened?

    I don't know what happened, the body of my email was not displayed any more. I must have unknowingly pressed something on my I Pad to cause this to happen ? I can read the preview lines ok, but not the mail itself, any idea how to fix this?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Or...
    Double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until it wiggles
    Press the red to delete the Mail app
    Press the home twice button when done.

  • Apple Mail software - email is not displaying in folder

    I kept thinking it was something I was doing wrong (and it may still be!).
    I have Apple mail (my own domain, not Google's email system)...and my folders are kept in the cloud (Apple's cloud).
    Ever since I went to Mavericks when I try and browse through my folders the emails are listed there but clicking on an email does not display its contents. It is  a blank screen. My in-box is always fine. But my folders I sort mail into… a list with blank for the individual email's contents.
    I read through the forums and the best I could find was that the email folder needed to be rebuilt. But doing so only worked temporarily. If I quit my email and go back in, same problem. And it's also really, really slow in displaying the list.
    Very odd.
    ><({(º>  

    Figured it out...
    Turned out iCloud does not like odd characters in the front of folders.
    I had Tildes in front of special folders and folders with older projects and clients.
    Once I removed the Tilde everything got a lot better.

  • My IPhone 4's mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. What is wrong with it?

    My work recently decided to buy every full time employee an IPhone 4 to be used for work purposes. (I do suspect these are refurbished, but I don't think that matters) I have had no trouble with it, except for on occasion the mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. You know what I'm talking about...that bar at the bottom of the mailbox when you open an email that you use to delete, respond, forward, move, etc. It just goes away for no reason, and then reappears for a day or two, and goes away again. It is quite annoying since I can't respond to any of my emails without getting on my work computer. If you have any suggestions, please help!

    Hi there,
    You may need to force close the Mail application when this happens. The next time this happens, use the steps in the article below to coles out of the mail application.

  • Failed to send invitation emails to recipients. detailed error: an error occurred while sending mail.

  • In Mac OS X Mail some emails are not displaying the correct font size.

    I have set my Mail to display email messages (Inbox) to Courier 13 point (easy to read) and most messages are displayed that way, however I often get emails that are displayed in unreadably small and often colored type. I don't understand why this is ... could someone explain how to fix this? Thanx.

    The email was probably sent from Outlook as RTF or HTML. You can tell Mail to display those as plain text as well by opening Terminal and typing this command (quit Mail first):
    defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE

  • Apple mail strips text when displaying an incoming email

    I receive emails associated with a club I belong to from an email reflector. Club members send emails to the reflector and the reflector resends the email to each club member including me of course
    This works fine so long as the email to (and from) the reflector contains either only text or only an attachment (as in a photograph). However if the distributed email contains both text and a photo Apple Mail is unwilling to display the text ... only the photograph appears. Which as you might well imagine is rather annoying.
    So how do I know that the email is displayed with the accompanying text stripped away? Well if I look at the raw source (View --> Message --> Raw Source) I see the following:
    --001a11c249488ce20604f4d3bcb6

    I changed the text to protect the identify of the sender. In Apple Mail all I see is the picture (IMG_0918.JPG) and all the text that goes with it is missing.
    From what I can tell from comments on the reflector, some other email clients exhibit the same problem (they also strip the text) while others do not. So maybe the email is not being formatting properly by the reflector. That could be. But files on the web have mal-formed HTML all the time, yet browsers deal with the mal-formed HTML without stripping the text away as seems to be the case here.
    It seems to be that Apple Mail sould be able to display the text which in contained in the raw source.
    Any solution (other that looking at these email in raw source to read thei missing textual contentt)? If an Apple employee is reading this maybe you could pass this along to whoever is prosponsible for keeping track of Apple Mail bugs.
    Thanks.

    I design and code a lot of HTML emails, and plain text remains an important feature for many clients.
    This seems to be a recent change to Mac Mail. Previously, there was an option under View --> Message to show the plain text alternative.

  • HT2480 Ipad mini - exchange email stopped working randomly  Error: "Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed."

    I got an iPad mini over Christmas and have had no issues setting up/managing my email until yesterday. I've had my Exchange email working for almost a month, and yesterday I stopped getting emails and getting the error: "Cannot Get Mail. The connection to the server failed."
    I tried resetting the device (multiple times) and deleting and recreating the Exchange account (multiple times). This is getting annoying because it worked fine up until yesterday. I'm not aware of any updates to the device, or any changes that have occurred since yesterday.

    Due to a screen issue, I had my iPhone 5 replaced two days ago. I repeated deleted the mail account and kept adding it but this did not make any difference. When I attempted to setup the new phone with my Google (Gmail via exchange active sync) accounts I was receiving this same "Cannot Get Mail" error. From what I was able to gather, this problem should be affecting Gmail accounts set up via Exchange. When originally purchasing the phone I was assisted and directed to set up my Gmail account through Exchange because it had the ability to use "ActiveSync" and push not only mail and calendars, but all of my contacts as well. I found this article regarding the subject.
    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2413283,00.asp
    What it came down to was having to delete my Gmail via Exchange account and separate it into two different accounts, a regular gmail account for my mail and a CardDAV account for my contacts.
    Here is what I did. Google is changing their system and for new registrars Exchange ActiveSync will not work so you will be unable to register your account via Exchange and have your mail, calenders, and contacts all pushed together. I find this change really annoying. If you are having problems accessing your contacts after deleting the mail account, like I was, here is the work around.
    To circumvent this issue go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDAV Account: Under server ender google.com, then your email user name and password, then click next to verify the information.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I hide the "preview panel" in Mail. Double clicking the "separator bar" hasn't worked ( I think I know where that bar is.)

    How can I hide the "preview panel" in Mail? Double clicking on the "separator bar" , as directed by Mail Help, does nothing. ( I am not certain where that bar is, but believe it to be the zone where the preview panel and the message space meet.) This issue only arose after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    The only way I found to hide the "preview panel" is to drag the separator to the edge of the window. It shrinks the panel down to perhaps 1/2 inch in height and then disappears only when you drag it to the bottom (classic layout) or perhaps a couple inches wide (in the new layout). It is also annoying to me that you can double click to open the preview panel but you cannot repeat that to hide it. [sigh]
    I submitted feedback about the help file as well - you may want to do the same. I could not find the double click mentioned in the new "Mail Help" - I know it was in the old version.
