Mail Messages appear only as plain text
Somehow my default is set to view Mail in plain text. To see a message as it was formatted, I have to select View/Message/Next Alternative. I have to do this with every message, even those I've previously opened and went through the View/Message/Next Alternative selection.
How can I see messages as they were formatted without having to go through the menu routine each time?
I'm using system 10.6.6.
If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flashblock</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How do I get incoming mail messages to display in plain text?
Recently some incoming messages are virtually unreadable because they are in rich text format and render with incredibly small font size. They are mostly coming from work colleagues using Windows. Recently I upgraded yo Yosemite and they were upgraded to Windows 7: im not sure if either is relevant.
I'm sure there's a trick somewhere to increase the viewing font size after the message displays, but I'd rather it displayed legibly in the first place...
Any ideas?If I take the above preferences and change them from Arial 14 to Arial 144 I can get the body in about half of my current messages to display in 144 pt font.
It varies by mail client of sender and to which mail box it goes to on my Mac. Haven't found a commonality yet.
Someone here will have a brilliant answer, however. -

Sent messages appear only on screen of other party

Error message appears only for a short time
An error message appears only for a very very short time so i can't read it. Sometimes the message appers directly after log in, and sometimes after using the mac for a longer time. So What should i do?
Thank you for the fast reply.
This is the log of the last start. The message appeared directly after login.

How to send messages in iChat in plain text? (no html)
How to send messages in iChat in plain text? I don't need any formatting nor hiding links in achor tags.
HI,
In the View Menu once you have a Chat window open is the Messages item which allows you to change the style of the IM.
However this still sends a HTML like packet for dispalyiing the info at the other end.
This does not work to ICQ users.
Chax, an iChat Add-on, works in iChat 5 and lower (although there are then different versions) and can strip out the HTML part for sending to ICQ users.
However there is not yet a Lion/iChat 6 version.

OS 10.8.4 Mail erases messages when switching to plain text
This problem seems to persist -- in MAC OS 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, the mail program deletes the just typed email message when I switch to plain text. It does not do it every time, but it does this seemingly at random. If I do not re-read my emails right after clicking plain text, I send a blank email... This never happened in Snow Leopard -- is there a fix or a patch for this ?
Has anyone on the Mac Mail or OSX Support Team tried to debug this... ? Most of my emails are plain text, and I encounter this problem 50x per day! Thanks for your help...

DECODING MAIL FROM WEB SERVER IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT(THE MAIL BEING SENT BY LABVIEW APPLICATION)
Hi All
I have a labview application that send mail every hour automatically.
But actually the mail has to be decoded from the web server(by another application).But now when that application decode the data in the mail(that is send by labview application)its getting some funny characters inside that can not be detected by the decoding application
(When open the mail no problem.)But actually our goal is to decode the mail from the web server.
Why the extra characters are appearing when decoding from the server?Is it because of the HTML format?
Is there option to send the mail in plain text format(not like attachment)?
In outlook we can change the setting (tools->options->send->mail sending format->....here we can set as HTML format/Plain Text format)
Like that at the sending time can i chenge the sending option as plain text format in my labview application?
Thanks...smercurio_fc wrote:
Then it sounds to me like this other application is not decoding the attachment correctly, especially if you looked at the attachment yourself after you received it and verified it's correct.
No, no, smercurio. This is charcter encoding here. In older versions of LabVIEW you could specify what character encoding to use when sending an email through the SMTP VIs. But that gave problems since people in certain locales used certain characters that where not transfered right when the wrong encoding was specified, and that encoding stuff is not understood by most people at all, so the wrong selected encoding was rather the rule than the exception. In newer versions of LabVIEW do the SMTP VIs handle the encoding automatically based on the currently used locale on the system.
This change is documented in the Upgrade Notes of LabVIEW and probably happened around LabVIEW 7.1 or 8.0.
A decent mail client will recognize the encoding and convert it back to whatever is necessary before presenting it to the user. The OPs posters server application obviously isn't a smart mail client but probably just some crude text file parser that has no notion of proper mail character encoding and how to deal with it.
I would suppose that there is a chance to dig into the SMTP VIs itself and try to manipulate or disable that encoding altogether in there but that may open a whole can of worms somewhere else. The proper way would be to process the incoming mail by a character encoding aware mail client before passing it to the text parser. On Unix setting up something like this would be fairly trivial.

Hello,
I hope you can help me. I've imported all my emails from Eudora into Outlook 2010 but I have a couple of problems.
All emails that I've imported which had attachments with them have a notice on them saying the attachment has been blocked. I can always browse to the folder whereb my old attachments are stored, but this is still inconvenient.
Secondly, all my messages that I've sent in the past (html) are being displayed in plain text, which is making them difficult to read because of all the html tags being displayed.
Also with emails that I've sent in the past- there is no record of any attachments being sent with messages which I know had attachments with them.
Any ideas? I've trawled google and had no luck except finding programs that cost $70 that can import everything properly.
DavidDavid:
I know this is a very old thread, but did you every figure out a way to fix the formatting of imported Eudora mail?
I just "upgraded" from Eudora to Outlook 2010 ...
and have 10 years worth of HTML formatted e-mail that now shows up as plain text with embedded html formatting ...
apparently it is a long-running problem that has roots in the way Eudora formats messages ...
Outlook and other e-mail clients all seems to have issues with importing and do not properly recognize HTML-formatted messages from Eudora ... very sad that I can no longer really "read" my old e-mail at this point ... :-(

Does MobileMe sync e-mail messages or only the account settings between computers?
Does MobileMe actually sync e-mail messages between computers or only the account settings?
Here's a scenario: We have an iPhone, an iMac, and a MacBook Plus that we want to sync with MobileMe. So let's say that we check our e-mail using the iMac tomorrow. We save some new messages and delete the rest. Does MobileMe then sync (i.e. save the same messages and delete the rest on the iPhone and the MacBook Plus)? Or do we need to go through the same process with the iPhone and the MacBook Plus as we did on the iMac?
Also, does MobileMe sync addresses, favorites, documents, etc.?
If you delete a message on the iMac it would also automatically delete that message on the iPhone and MacBook. If you send a message from the iPhone it would appear in the sent messages folder on the MacBook. If you receive a message on the MacBook and read it then it would appear as read on the iMac, etc.
Yes, MobileMe will sync your address book, Safari bookmarks and documents. However it's a little trickier with the documents as it involves localizing your iDisk. I'm personally not a huge fan of the tech that Apple uses for the iDisk (WebDAV) and I feel there are some better solutions out there but it will get the job done.
It's important to add that Apple offers a 60-day, no obligation, trial of MobileMe for you to try out and see if the features are worth it for $99/year. -
View Received HTML Emails - ONLY Displays Plain Text!
I've got Apple Mail set up running two IMAP Email accounts (including .Mac), and two POP3 accounts. For quite some time now, Mail refuses to display ANY email message (no matter what email address receives the message) that has HTML/images in it. For example:
The Apple newsletters for Apple Computer, and the iTunes store that come out periodically, they never display with the images- it's always a boat load of hyperlinks, random text here and there and HTML all over the place. I've purchased e-tickets from United Airlines online and have been unable to print out my confirmation because the email comes through with just the HTML, some text and everything all over the place.
I operate heavily with my email and this is an issue that may get me to ditch Mail permanently if I can't get it to work properly. I am diligent about doing Apple Software Updates, I've gone through the Preferences of Mail time and again, I even erased my harddrive and did a complete system-rebuild just to see if this would fix the problem, and alas no such luck.
I'm not even getting the drop down bar that asks "Do you want to view images associated with this email?" And when I do get an email that I know has images in it and is in the form of HTML, the images aren't even located in attachments.
Does anyone have ANY ideas? I've tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file several times to no avail. Is there anything that I could be overlooking? I'd really hate to ditch Mail for Thunderbird or worse, Entourage.
Thanks in advance.Or you could try this:
To make Plain Text the preferred alternative for viewing messages (which may or may not accomplish what you want), quit Mail, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
You can revert to the default setting with the following command:
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
And you can reverse the setting regardless of what the default setting is with the following command:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool FALSE -
All mail in arbitrary mail folders appear to have no message body (even though I know they do). I have tried deleting the Envelope files in my ~/Library/Mail folder, as I have seen suggested elsewhere, but (after importing) this does not fix the problem. It has, however, succeeded in quadruplicating each message!
Any other ideas?I finally solved this by backing up my ~/Library/Mail directory, then removing it from ~/Library, as well as deleting everything in ~/Library/Preferences that began with com.apple.mail-. Then relaunching Mail, recreating all my accounts and slowly, slowly importing all the backups one-by-one.
I solved the duplication problems using Mail Scripts: http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
All in all, the process took about 5 hours for a combined 18,000 messages (not including all the duplicates).
Time I could have spent better! :/ -
E-mail messages appear, then disappear.
I've been having e-mail messages show up in the inbox then disappear. It's been happening for months. I use a lot of rules and folders.
Steps I've taken:
– Rebuilt every mailbox in Mail
– Today I deleted the Envelope Index but the problem keeps happening
– Contacted SpamSieve to see if it might be their add-on (they don't think it is)
I archive all of my e-mail at Gmail so I can see that every day a few messages get through but don't turn up in my inbox. Any suggestions? Are there some more things like the Envelope Index that I can trash and hope for a fix?Andy,
See:

Gmail can only access from a server that supports POP3 -- .Mac does this, but conceptually it is counter to the philosophy of an IMAP account, which with Mail you have set your .Mac account to be.
In setting up Gmail to access an account (remember it does so as POP) you have a selection of whether to leave messages on the server or not, and furthermore the instructions for such Gmail access talk about the possibility of too many messages on the server. But that concept is based upon the server being a POP server. Yours is set up to operate as an IMAP account, and in an IMAP account all messages and indeed the entire Inbox resides on the server. If a message were removed from the server it would be removed from the Inbox you are expecting to view in Mail on your Mac. The symptom would be just like a "winking out", as Mail remembers the message was once there, but suddenly it is gone!
Access via Gmail is just like accessing from another email client or device.
More info, and confirmation of what you find, please.

Parent filter only allows plain text Facebook w/o images
My son's laptop has Snow Leopard on it, and I'm trying to all him access to Facebook without allowing unlimited web access. I used terminal to get the host IP for Facebook and added it as an allowed site. Parental filter is now allowing access to the site, but Facebook will only load as plain text without images or graphics. My wife has a separate login user on the same laptop and Facebook works fine, so I know it's the parental control filter. Is there a workaround that anybody knows of?
As I read the file, it was created with VV, whatever that is.
