Mail subject field

When I enter some text in the body before in the subject field, the subject field is listed as blank in the mailbox list of messages. Similarly, when I enter text in the subject field first, move onto body text and then return to the subject field, the mailbox display sticks with the original subject field text. This did not happen prior to Yosemite.

Problem solved!
Tried pasting from the Menu Bar and the right-click/menu and both worked! Interesting!
On closer observation of the Edit menu in the Menubar, I discovered that the Commond key icon and V were not displayed to the right of the word Paste. All the other shortcut icons were there... I also noticed that further down in the menu there was a greyed out option: Paste and Match Style.
Armed with this knowledge I went to System Prefs and started searching in Keyboard/Shortcuts. In App Shortcuts Paste and Match Style was listed as Command V. I deleted it, and now Paste functions as it should.
I believe I am to blame for this as I vaguely recall creating the Paste and Match shortcut quite some time ago after reading about the "advantages" of using it. Of course, at the time, it seemed to work fine. I simply failed to make the connection to that custom shortcut when the problem with pasting started in Mail.

Incoming Email Subject Field length increase

Hi,
In CRM 7.0,I need to increase the incoming email Subject Field length ,When i try to modify UI configuration,Subject fields are not enabled for configuration (Other fields in the same screen are enabled for modifications)..
Please give your inputs whether incoming email Subject Field length can be increased? if so,this should be done at UI level or mail form?
Regards
Shan

Hi Prasenjit,
Thanks for your interaction and response.
Actually I can to find out views and class details in CRM 7.0 by using F2 key..
The UI component is CRMCMP_CCS_EML and view is CRMCMP_CCS_EML/MailBody. The implementation class is ZL_CRMCMP_C_MAILBODY_IMPL. Since all the page attributes are string, There is a context class ZCL_CRMCMP_C_MAILBODY_CTXT, But no context node (Like you mentioned type CN as in *CN00, *CN01) within page attribute.
The main issue am facing here is that couldnu2019t figure out where to start the debugging for inbound mails where the subject field is truncated. I usually process inbound mails from SOIN transaction.
Moreover subject field can have more than 40 characters in outgoing mail, but the inbound mail subject field limited to 40 character and rest of them truncated.
Hope you understand my area of concern and provide me your input.

Shan

How to stop the subject field displaying in list of mail?

Sorry for the spelling I am dyslex..
I like the new layout all virtical in mail 7 BUT in the list of messages it shows the "subject field" how do I stop this field from showing up?
In the clasic view I can change what fields show up (menu "View" - "Message Attributes" and click the fields I want to see) the only problem with the "clasic" view is the horzontial arangments of two of the panels. I used to use "widemail" plugin to get the arangment of panels in the mail program in Snow Leopard.
Apple have made a big thing of seeing the "subject field" in the mail list pannel but for me I have the preview panel open and so the subject and most of the message is displayed there two so I see this info in two places and it all looks a bit crouded.
Can any one help and in the mean time I will be posting this in the feedback site.

Mail keeps selecting text in the To & Subject fields as I type

Since upgrading to Leopard (and by upgrade doing a clean install and then running migration assistance) and the 10.5.1 update Mail is acting very strange. When ever I try to type in the To, CC, BCC, Reply To or the Subject Mail immediately selects the texts and 9 times out of 10 will not search the Address Book. For example, I try to type the name "James" but after typing the "J" Mail highlights it so it gets overwritten by the "a" which gets overwritten by the "m" and so on. If am fast enough it will complete "James" and search the Address Book. Or if there is not an entry it will just highlight "James". This behavior makes it impossible to type a new email address or even to write a subject and extremely difficult to pull names automatically from the Address Book. It is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen and I haven't been able to figure out a way to make it stop. Holding down the right arrow key while typing almost made it work but not quite. It seems to delay the selection process by half a second or so but not stop it. Anyone else experience this bizarre behavior or have any idea how to fix it?

While I take some comfort in the fact that I am not the only one experiencing this problem, it really ***** that I have not come across a really effective solution. But I do have an update that might help but only slightly.
So I started messing around with mail since this whole thing started. What I found is removing the "com.apple.mail.plist" file from ~\library\preferences seemed to mostly resolve this problem in the To & Cc address fields. Problems still occurs as described in the Bcc & Subject fields. I initially thought removing this file (and this is after backing up the mail folder, the plist file & and my messages to MailSteward just in case) had completely resolved the issue but no suck luck. Of course, I had to re-add all my accounts. And of course Mail "forgot" all the messages that were originally part of each account even though they were all still in the Mail folder. This is a pet peeve of mine. Mail won't import it's on mail content formats unless you manually open each email and tell it to move to a folder in Mail. But that's another topic.
After resetting up Mail I can normally type in the To & Cc fields and have it search the address book or previous messages. However just typing and pausing between letters causes it to have the problem again about 50% of the time. That is for the To & Cc fields. For the Bcc field I have to do the super fast typing to get it to do the search. So if I am actually fast enough to type "james" it will find it. If am slow and type "jam" the problem returns. If typing a new e-mail not in my address book or a previous e-mail forget about it. Type it somewhere else and then copy and paste. Basically it seems as though it will work if I can somehow get the field to start the address book search when typing. I've tested it a few times and once the field is able to pull up the search results (i.e. pasting a name that it should be able to find) it seems to work fine from that point on. Meaning you can then continue to normally add names to field or make changes to what was previously typed. But it is tricky at best to get it to work in the first place. The Subject line is still a mess and I have resorted to typing the subject in the body of the e-mail and cutting and pasting into the Subject line.
I tested this several times, removing and then restoring the original plist. I hope I have made a clear summary as to my experiences. Basically the original plist file had the original nearly unsolvable problem. When it was removed and Mail recreated it, I set up a new main account and the To & Cc fields were somewhat more forgiving though still have the problem about half the time. While the Bcc field has the problem 99% of the time and so far the Subject field still has it 100%.
For the record I use the Widescreen and HTTPMail plugins. But I am convinced these are not the issue because I did not re-add them to Mail until I had tested this issue with my regular pop account. Once I was satisfied with the results I installed these plugins and there was no difference in the way the program reacted. Also I use SpamSieve but since it only activates when I have new Mail this did not seem to make a difference as I have tried it with it off and on with the same results. This is the most annoying problem I have experienced on a Mac. It has me contemplating switching back to Entourage.

Mail won't save info in Subject field in Drafts folder

Hi,
For some reason, Mail won't save what I type into the Subject field for messages in the Drafts folder.
Why?
I can save in any other field for any message in the Drafts folder... This has been going on for awhile, both with Mavericks and Yosemite though it worked earlier with Mavericks.
Cheers,

Sounds like a limit of your ISP, as it's trying to put it back on the mailserver, which may not accept such a large file.

Purchase order by e-mail: changing the e-mail subject

Hello all,
We are sending are purchase orders to the vendors by e-mail.
I would like to know how can I change the e-mail subject to a subject of my choice (for instance the PO number, etc.).
Thanks for your help,
Sivan

Hi,
You can change the e-mail subject to a subject of your choice by following way.
If you want to send a purchase order as (external) mail, for example, to a
vendor, you have to maintain the mail title in the condition record for the
output type (for example in Transaction MN05) on the 'Communication method' tab
page. Enter the mail title in the 'Text for cover page' field. You cannot
maintain an additional mail text.
Hope this will help u,

Alert management with custom mail subject

Hello,
I defined a business process, with a control step that throws an alert with a specific message "Error in &MessageTypeFound& " ( &MessageTypeFound& being a container element filled in in a previous step ).
When I look at the e-mail that the alert manager sent, I can see the alert, with the variable properly filled in, so the result in the mail-body is: "Error in WMMBXY".
Now, as a mail subject, I want the same message. In the Alert Category Definitions, I need to fill in the title and this will be used as mail subject.
To be able to use variables in this title, I need to define container elements in the alert category definition. How can I pass the Business Process variable ( &MessageTypeFound& ) to this container for the alert definition ? (So I can use this container element for my dynamic variable in the subject of the alert mail)
Any ideas are welcome !
Thanks

Hi Frederik,
Unfortunately the functionality you want is simply not available ... or well it is but its not implemented very good by SAP.
The workflow step that generates an alert does has a container element 'SHORTTEXT' which can hold placeholders and which is translated into the title of the alert message/mail.
However, the field is defaulted with the text 'Process &_WORKITEM.WORKITEMID&' when being executed via BPM ...
I tried to overwrite it by setting my own 'SHORTTEXT'container element within the BPM but that does not work ...
Regards,
Steven

Dynamic mail subject in File2Mail Scenario

We are doing File2Mail scenario. We r sending 5 files in 5 mails with 5 diff subjects by MAIL adapter.
Can anyone guide me how to send 5 files as attachment in one single mail with different mail subjects :
File names are - Employee_Leave,Base,Super,Loss,Profit.

Hey,
you can use dynamic addressing wherein you can provide the mail related information in your mapping.
for example the to, from, subject and content.
so you can map these fields form the input structure or you can have a constant to map it.
refer to this blog it will really help.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
the only differerence in your case is that you need file as attachment so mark the keep attachment field.
it will ask you for a mail structure.
use this structure as your target structure.

Strange characters in email Subject field

I don't quite know where to post this one, but since I'm always programming only .jsps and servlets I hope someone will answer this here.
Accented characters in subject field of our emails produced by our programmes are being replaced by nonsense like the following:
=?ANSI_X3.4-1968?Q?
In the body of the email I can just replace accented characters with html equivalents, no problem, but not in the subject field.
Is there a way round this, like setting the character encoding somewhere or whatever? I use the javamail API to produce these emails - is there anything in the API for this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think e-mail only allows only ASCII characters in certain fields? I think you'd have to read the email RFC to find out the details of that.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
That's a start, but there are certain extensions to that, I think, that might atler things... Otherwise, you'd have to check thru the JavaMail API docs and see if there's an encoding setting somewhere.

Email subject field - How to insert

Tab from Subject field to message text with attachment

When I choose "Send to Mail Recipient as attachment" from Word, Mail creates a new message with the attachment in the message body area, and places the cursor in the "To" field.
I can enter the recipient name, then tab to the Subject field and enter a subject, but can't tab out of Subject into the message text area. Shift-Tab goes backward through the BCC, CC and "To" fields, but that won't get to the message body area either. In order to add text to the body of the message one has to reach for the mouse and actually click in the message body area.
Anyone else had this experience? Any suggestions?

Try going to the Keyboard and Mouse system preference, Keyboard Shortcuts tab, and checking "Text boxes and lists only" instead of all "All controls". This will let you use return or tab to advance to the next field including the message field.

Setting Mail Subject and Body

Hi,
I have configured sending a mail with PDF attachment for Invoices in NACE. the program is RLB_INVOICE The mail goes fine with the PDF attachment to external mail address.
Now I need put subject and Body for the email.
There are 2 issues now.
1. In transaction NACE i am using "Mail title and texts" node when i fill the Document title, the same document title appears for the e-mail subject as well as the name of the attachment. But i need different names for the subject and attachment and the invoice number must be present in the subject.
2. Under the "Text" tab when i maintain some texts, this doesn't appear anywhere in the mail.
How do i maintain Subject and Body for the e-mail.
Regards

Hi
Keep break point at SO_OBJECT_SEND.
In the first screen
VF01 / VF02 ->
Set the Output type not to process immediately, use custom own transaction.
Save and come out of transaction.
And again
VF01/ VF02 ->
Issue Output type select the Output with medium 5.
and click on the OK button.
It should stop.
To pass value from driver program to Enhancement point.
I used FIELD SYMBOLS.
Since i am offline, i do not have exact syntax.
It will be something like this
FIELD SYMBOLS : <OUTPUTTYPE> type any.
ASSIGN '( PROGRAMNAME(FIELD NAME)) TO <OUTPUTTYPE>
IF <OUTPUTTYPE> IS ASSIGNED.
ENDIF.
Or
If it is custom driver program, you can use memory ID's also

Subject field in Japanese emails

Hi,
I am trying to send mail in Japanese using ISO-2022-JP charset. The body of the mail goes fine and is visible correctly, but am facing problems with the subject field. If I try sending any Japanese characters the subject field displays ??? in outlook.
I have tried following options -
MimeMessage.setSubject("\u30D5\u30C8", "iso-2022-jp");
MimeMessage.setSubject(MimeUtility.encodeText("\u30D5\u30C8", "iso-2022-jp", "Q"));several other combinations... Any suggestions.
PS - "\u30D5\u30C8" I tried to create the test string using Unicode characters for Japanese charset as suggested by a web-site. The actual string being used, I'm reading from a Japanese text file, read using UTF-8 encoding.

Hi Mlk,
Thank you for the reply. You are correct, In outlook I am not able to see Japanese characters in Subject line but in other mail I could see the same.
Once again thanks for the suggestion.
Regards,
Roja.
