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.

Safari won't display HTML 5 Effects

I have hard-coded some shadows to a table on my site, and for some reason they won't show up in Safari. Chrome, firefox, and even Explorer render the shadows fine, but Safari doesn't. Is there a setting or something I need to set up?

Sorry, Guys. Somehow I screwed up when I installed the new Safari with Leopard. I don't remember accessing the preferences for Safari and thought they remained the same as for Safari 2. However, upon checking, I discovered the "enable plug-ins" box unchecked. Checking it solved all of the web site problems.
Peter, Thanks for your response. For informational purposes, on Safari 3, the "enable Flash" button is no longer hidden in the Mime settings tab. Now it's on right on the advanced page of the Quicktime preferences.
Again, sorry for my screw up and thanks for your help!

Mail Won't Display Messages

Recently, starting May 18th, my mail shows it is receiving messages, but they won't display. I can see them coming into the server, but nothing displays. For example, when I send a test email from my Gmail account to my hosted email account, I can see the message coming in under the "Mail Activity" screen (lower left), but then nothing comes up.
I'm hosting my websites and using my iMac as a mail server.
I've been working on this for days, and nothing has worked. Just to recap:
I've "Rebuilt" every email box multiple times
I've deleted the "Envelope Index" file, and allowed mail to re-import everything
I've deleted all the security certificates from the system, except for the website security certificates, and issued new certificates
I've tried using Firefox Thunderbird for an email client, and I get the same problem
I've deleted all unnecessary emails
I can send email from outside accounts to my server, and it works just fine. No errors, and I can see the message coming in just seconds later.
All email accounts connect and the "Connection Doctor" gives me green lights on everything.
This was a very sudden problem, and I did have 2 updates recently. One for iTunes and one for the Thunderbolt controller. Neither of which should have given me any mail issues.
So what would cause the messages to remain hidden?

The bottom line is, if your server is not properly setup for mail, it just won't work. Obvious really, but the not so obvious is Apple syntax required for a proper server configuration. Such as using "www.yourserver.com" as your FQDN. Of course, this has never been an FQDN, "www" is a Microsoft sub-domain.
Hopefully, Apple will fix this in the future so it's not contrary to Internet industry standards. Currently, this is very confusing and difficult to establish standards because the Apple environment doesn't see Internet domains the way they're established in the industry.

MAIL NO LONGER DISPLAYS HTML BY DEFAULT

Despite having “Display HTML messages” selected in Preferences/Viewing, the only way to display HTML content in (Received/INBOX) Mail is to pull down “VIEW” menu to DISPLAY MESSAGE then select “BEST ALTERNATIVE”. Then it appears fine.
This is tiresome to have to do for every single message. I can’t recall when this started occurring. Previously this was never a problem. Many thanks.

I was about to ask the same question..
I have problems with Mail not showing HTML on all of my accounts and this includes emails sent from Apple as well, I have had the problem for yrs but use to get around it by pressing the 'apple' key & ']' but that has stopped working as well. If it is a really important email I have to read it from my web browser.
I however don't lose attachments.
cheers

Mail not displaying html

I have turned off 'Display Remote images...' quit Mail. Turned on 'Display Remote Images..' and quit Mail. Mail still will not display html messages.
What next?

I've got the same problem, though it's fairly consistent (not random). Each week I receive an HTML email from my ISP with my site's statistics, and I've not been able to read one yet with Mail ["Version 3.1 (914/915)"].
All of the View>Message>(alternatives) menu items are grayed out no matter how I try to read/select/etc. the message.
I tried the PREF SETTER suggestion from above, and now I have a preference PreferPlainText (type Boolean) set to False (it wasn't there so I created one) and it makes no difference.
This is kind of disconcerting as I was deleting "empty" emails for a while before I realized that they were not empty! Who knows what great jokes my sister sent me that I missed...
BTW I can view the message if I look at the raw source (in this case the email is mostly text).

Select Force Quit from under the Apple menu and select Mail (it may say that it isn't responding).

Mail Messages won't display on iphone 4

I have a .mac and a gmail account set up on my phone. I can see the messages in my inbox for all accounts but the individual emails won't display when I go to read them, the message portion of the email is blank. I can see the "from" an "to" and just the message is missing! Any thoughts?

Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

Closed captioning won't display in html/swf

I have embedded a swf file in html. The closed captioning displays when I view the .swf file and when I view the Flash published html. However, when I view the fully created Web page, the closed captioning won't display. Does anyone have any ideas?
Specs:
The video was created with Captivate 4, published as an .avi and then as an .f4v with Adobe Media Encoder CS4
The .f4v is imported into a Flash CS4 framework.
The closed captioning file was created with MAGpie and exported to a dfxp file.
The .swf file containing all of the necessary files above is embedded in a Web site created with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.

Oddly enough, I played with the placement of the captioning file to get this to work. While all the other resource files associated with this project needed to remain in the original locations when I embedded my Flash within the html, this file needed to be in the same folder as the base html code for some reason. I hope this helps someone else down the road.

HTML pages won't display

I've never used Coldfusion and I'm not a web devleoper, I'm a
server admin but I've been tasked with figuring out our problem.
I've been searching all morning and I can't seem to find anything
so I thougt I would post up. Here's what we have. A windows 2003
server with IIS and Coldfusion MX7. We're hosting several web sites
with no issues. Today, one of the web sites will no longer display
.html pages. I've checked all the other sites and html pages are
fine, just this one site. The web dev guys tell me they installed a
java update yesterday to the server and thought that might be the
problem but I would think it would break all the sites, not just
one. I've clicked on every tab and buttion in IIS and everything I
could in the CF Admin but I can't seem to find anything that will
block / filter HMTL pages for that one site. The sever has been
rebooted several times with no luck.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to where I should go or check?
Thanks

So you are saying that the SWF *WAS* actually displaying but was somehow unable to present the text?
For others that may wonder about what TLF is (as I did) I'll save you the Google step.

Webhelp topics won't display on servername with multiple hyphens

Hi
I have several webhelp topics generate with RoboHelp 8 whose html topics won't display when launched from servers whose hostnames contain more than one hyphen. We have multiple servers in the test environment. The servers with zero or one hyphens can launch the help project or individual topics with not problem. The servers with two or more hyphens can launch the project and display the nav pane, but the topics show a File Not Found error. The topics also show this error when launched independent of the frameset. Can anyone help?

William,
I have gone thru my project now and, as I stated in my May 1 mail to you, I have made duplicates of all of the "bad" topics and all of these new topics are now displaying correctly.
Now I have a related, but different issue.
Only one topic is causing that same error msg to display (refer to my original April 27 post: IE script error/syntax error; Line 13, character 1).
The only topic that throws that error msg is the initial topic that displays when the .chm file is opened (i.e., the topic that is specified as the "Default Topic" in the HTML Help Options window when I click the Generate Layout button in the SSL pod.)
Furthermore, the topic that throws the error message will only do so if it is the one specified as the Default Topic.
As an example, if I have the topic Apple specified as the Default Topic, when the .chm file is opened the error msg window will display; when the user clicks either Yes or No to the "Do you want to continue running scripts?" query, the Apple topic will display normally. Each time that topic is selected it will throw the same error msg. window.
If I go back to my project in RH and change the Default Topic to the Pear topic, re-compile the project, when the .chm file is opened the error msg will display; when you click Yes/No the Pear topic will display normally (until it's selected again). The Apple topic now displays fine at all times.
This tells me that the problem seems not to be with the Apple topic, as I'd suspected, but with something that's going on with RH and how it displays the initial topic in a compiled project. I think.
Any ideas on how I can remedy this issue?
Thanks in advance.

RH7 compiled topics won't display and throw an IE (syntax) script error

Pundits,
I am using RH 7 to create projects of about 600 topics. My OS is Windows XP Pro 2002, SP-3. My problem is that approximately 10% of the topics in my .chm file prompt an IE script error msg when I, or anyone else, tries to open them.
Here's the error msg:
When this window displays, user can click on either Yes or No and topic will display normally; the next time a user attempts to open this topic, same error displays, with same Yes/No click behavior.
When I look at the html for any of the "bad" topics (i.e., topics that won't display), there is always this one extra line of code, referring to the ehlpdhtm.js file in my project folder:
<script language="javascript" src="ehlpdhtm.js"></script>
This line is never in the html of the "good" topics.
Can anyone shed any light on what's causing this, and what I can do to remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

PDF files won't display. Error message "Missing Plug-ins"

Hello. I am having trouble with adobe reader but only certain files. When I first signed up for school in may Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader were required and when I did the check plug-ins system check, both were installed and running just fine. Just in the past 2 days is the check plug-ins test saying Adobe reader is not installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing but still saying it is not installed. I'm not having troubl with all adobe reader files. I'm an online student and my e-books are opening and displaying just fine. Also my pdf documents saved on my computer are opening just fine. When I try to view a websites brochure, a websites sale paper, or maybe open up an article, the page pops up but the image won't display. It keeps saying "missing Plug-ins". I have a MAC 10.6.8. running on Safari and I have downloaded Adobe Reader 10.1.0. I need to be able to open up articles because I'm doing a homework assignment that requires one. If u can help in any way, please do.

I've tried all the fixes listed in the discussions about missing plug-ins in Mail. None of them worked. I can see attachements in the emails, but when I forward them, the missing plug-in shows up in place of the attachments on the forwarded email. I'm running the latest OS 10.7 on my Mac Pro and I just downloaded the latest Java app. HELP!!

My emails won't display on right hand side of iPad sceen

Emails won't display their content on the right had side of screen on my iPad , gmail

Quit the app completely. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try mail again.
If that doesn't work - Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
