Mail Services New email with selection doesn't work, leads to Force Quit
I've posted this before, but got no replies so I'm trying again since it's driving me crazy. It was a problem under Mavericks and still exists under Yosemite's Mail.
When I select text and then go to the Services menu and pick "New email with selection," much of the time a totally empty new email message window opens , won't let me type in it at all, nor will it close or send. It just sits there until I Force Quit Mail.
HELP PLEASE!!!
Standard Apple Mail. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1, and I'm amazed to see that About Mail says it's Mail Version 8.1 (1993), copyright 1995-2014 Apple Inc.
Interesting thought, do you think that it doesn't like to work with itself? Actually, I'm fairly sure I've had the problem inside of other apps but I should document that. I'll keep notes to see where this happens.

New email with selection Services problem
When I select text and choose "New email with selection" under Services, at least half the time, a new Mail message window opens, blank. Then, that blank Message window stays open, can't be closed, and the only way I can get out of it is to Force Quit Mail. I had (and often reported) this same problem under previous OS X versions, and have been hoping that it would be fixed in Yosemite, but not yet!

Forwarding email with attachments doesn't work
In Mail.app, why when I forward an email with any kind of attachment does the email only contain a text description of said attachment and not the actual attachment itself?
I then have to down the attachment to my desktop and re-attach it to the email I'm forwarding. Not a big deal, but I don't see why I need to take these extra steps and cannot find a relevant preference in the Mail.App client prefs.
Thanks!BD,
That was totally it. This has been plaguing my Mom and frustrating her for a year now. For some reason, I wasn't notified of your response many moons ago.
Thanks so much,
Josh
ps. lol, I guess in looking at the time stamp it's been 4 years - jeez. Thanks again!

New Site create - select doesn't work ok
OS Vista Home Premium. Installed DW CS3 and when create new site and setting up folders, button select does not work ok. It point to the folder one up not the present one. If c:/root/image and I'm in image the select point to root.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCiKtVMhS5Y Is it problem with DW or Vista ?Yup, I've had the same problem in CS3 and now CS4. After much MUCH googling, the only thing I've found so far is that this problem developed for people after SP2 came out for Vista. I haven't seen any fixes for it yet. My only solution is to automatically create a folder inside the folder I want to use as my root....then I select that folder. After going into that folder, the folder one level up, which is the one I want for my root is able to be selected. After I get the folder I want set, I delete the dummy folder....or I name it images and use it as my image folder.
Problem is, if I want to define a default image folder, or spry folder I have to make dummy folders inside those subfolders too.....its a real pain. -

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!Ok, I have made something similar to which your you want to do.
Before to send a e-mail you have to upload the file, and later you can attach it into the e-mail.
To upload the file:
I made it with a jsp file (has a form) where I call to a java servlet how upload the file:
package ServletUpload;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.disk.DiskFileItemFactory;

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException{
super.init(config);

throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("We began the processing of the file");
boolean uploaded = false;
uploaded = procesaFicheros(request,out);
if (true==uploaded)
out.println("File uploaded");
else
out.println("Error to upload File");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
out.close();
public boolean procesaFicheros(HttpServletRequest req, PrintWriter out ) throws ServletException, IOException {
try {
boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(req);
out.println ("<br>Is multipart:"+isMultipart);
// Create a factory for disk-based file items
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
// Set overall request size constraint
upload.setSizeMax(1024*512); //524288 Bytes (512 KB)
// Parse the request
List items = upload.parseRequest(req);
// Process the uploaded items
Iterator iter = items.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
if (!item.isFormField()) { //Files to upload
String fieldName = item.getFieldName();
String fileName = item.getName();
String contentType = item.getContentType();
boolean isInMemory = item.isInMemory();
long sizeInBytes = item.getSize();

Converting an Outlook email with Images doesn't work
I can convert any email from Outlook to a PDF and it will include all .doc and .pdf files, but it seems to just ignore any image attachments. I'm using Acrobat 11.0.06
Is there a reason why or a solution to get around this? I need to maintain a database of all my applications and some come in as PDF's, others as image files.
I cannot find an email address for Adobe either, bit fustrating.
Any help greatly appreciated.Hi,
Goto the Change Conversion settings option on the Adobe PDF tab in outlook.
On the settings tab , unselect - "Block downlaod of external content"
That should solve the issue for you. -
New email with attachment filename as Mail Subject
Does anyone know how to make an OSX Service, much like "New Email with Attachment" where the attachment's filename is automatically copied into the subject field of the email?
Can this be done in Automator, or does a script have to be written from scratch?
Thanks in advanceAs I said, it is now under Share>Email.
Also, you can do the same thing just dragging an item to the Mail icon in the dock. -
i just downloaded AOL Desktop 1.7 for Mac and I can't get my email to work. It welcomes me but I know I have new email but it doesn't recognize that I have ANY mail at all. HELPPPPPPPP Please

I love the shortcut command "New Email With Attachment." I seem to have lost the functionality to create an email directly using a file from finder and its no longer in the Keboard Shortcuts menu. I just refered to another mac not running on Mavricks and it is still there. Any one know how to retrieve this functionality?
Thanks.You can get this by creating a Service with Automator.
Open Automator (in Applications Folder) and Select Service.
1. Select: "Services receives selected [files or folders] in [Finder]"
2. Select the New Mail Message Action
Then Save, as: New Email with Attachment -
New email with attachment action disappeared from Finder
Does anybody know what might have happened? I've been using this action for some time, and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it stopped working. Then after some time I discovered that the action is no longer available in the Finder context menu.
Note: I'm using Bitcasa, and the Bitcasa client added some actions of its own under an option called "services".The action "new email with attachment appeared under "services" as well.
I don't think it's a Bitcasa problem as it's been working just fine for several months now. It crapped out after upgrading to ML.Nevermind, figured it out elsewhere on the suport forum.

Do this from in the mail app. Change it to Mail 6.0.
"Hey, mine seems to be working now, what i did; i change the email preferences>general the first options reads: "default email reader" mine used to read "google chrome", after i changed the preferences the "share" button now shows all the options including "email". hope this helps in some way:D" -
Hi, I've used four different Groups when emailing for the past few years, and suddenly they have stopped working. I've tried creating new Groups but that doesn't work either. I haven't changed or done anything different and it is driving me mad......can anyone help, please?!
Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?! -

how do i associate a different apple ID with my ipad? I need to do this bc my gmail account was hacked and a hoax email sent out from it. so i opened a new gmail account and want to associate this new email with my ipad
To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge. -
While launching Mail, I clicked on Safari, to check something while Mail got new emails, but now Mail appears on the same screen as Safari. Is there a way I can return it to it's own screen, please?
I haven't changed any prefs, only clicked Safari as mail was being launched.Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?
On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.
