Mail won't display pictures in HTML formatted received messages iMAC newbie

I am a new iMAC user and have set up my POP account and send/receive e-mail fine. However several received messages come with text only displayed and the graphical part is missing. The messages come with a file attachment "winmail.dat," which I cannot open.
My mail settings are pretty much out of the box default. I do have the preferences to show HTML selected. TIA for any help.

First, Google makes all computing simple.
Winmail.dat files are created by MS Outlook, which assumes by default that everyone else in the world also uses Outlook. The ideal solution is convincing your friends to stop using Outlook. The practical solution is TNEFs Enough.

    Hi Vijayakumar,
    Thanks for your reply !! You mean to say I got to use XSLT mapping and also .htm and .html extension together to produce the html file ?? or it is sufficient to use any one of them to produce the html file ??

    Hello, Sue.Darby. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend having your friend check to see if call and message blocking is enabled on their end.  Here is some information regarding that feature.

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • Apple Mail won't display messages in HTML

    I'm using Apple Mail on my laptop to check email from an account other than iCloud and Gmail.  I also use my iPhone and iPad to check mail from this same account.  Sometimes, newsletters are appearing in Apple Mail in plain text format, and not in HTML format.  What's unusual is that these same messages appear in HTML format on both my iPhone and iPad, so I'm guessing it's not a problem with my mail server, but with the Apple Mail application.  Are there any settings in Apple Mail to ensure I view all messages in HTML format?
    Thanks!

    Emily -
    My wife is having the same problem with her new MacBook Air. She never saw the problem on the old first-gen Air running Snow Leopard.
    Here's what's going on:
    The messages that are having the problem are encoded as multipart/alternative. That is, they contain this in the received message:
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
              boundary="----=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993"
    Downstream, you'll find that boundary string whenever a new "part" begins:
    ------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    This begins the first part...the plain text part. On down the stream, you'll find the part header again:
    ------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.=
    w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html>
    That final <html> tag begins the bulk of the HTML code to render the graphical page. The block must end with a </html> tag to indicate the end of the block...but in this message the last line is:
    <td style=3D"color: #000000; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10px; font-f=
    amily: Arial,Helve
    ...and that's it. Obviously, the last word should have been "Helvetica" but ***the message was cut off***. I know this because if I open the message source window for the the same message in the gmail section (not the inbox section) the end of the message looks like this:
    </body>
    </html>
    ------=_Part_2836956_1545934347.1333570398993--
    ...which is what I'd expect in a multipart MIME encoded message.
    The amount of data that's missing from the end appears to be about one network packet's worth. I suspect what's going on is that mail is erroneously discarding the final packet of some mail messages.
    BTW, I've taken the computer to the Genius bar, and we took the time to create a new user account and a clean mailbox and duplicated the problem there in the store. The genius was unable to recommend a solution to the problem, and suggested that I perform a reinstall-in-place of the OS. Haven't done that yet, as I consider that pretty thin gruel from the perspective of fixing the problem.
    In the meantime, I'm trying Sparrow mail as an alternative mail client. So far, I haven't seen the problem using Sparrow (nor, for that matter, on OSX Snow Leopard.)
    Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'll post back in this forum if I come up with a solution. I'll follow the thread...if anybody has any ideas what might be going on please post.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • E-mail won't load... just 'Load More Messages...'

    My iPad 4 recently stopped updating it's e-mail whenever I run the e-mail app. The app starts up fine, but then acts like it's updating the mail, but then doesn't and only adds a "Load More Messages..." option.
    I've tried removing the account, load it again, in addition to restarting the device loads of times, but for naught.
    I just removed the e-mail account, restarted the device, added the e-mail account (double-checking the settings) and now the e-mail will only display the 'Load More Messages...' option. When I click on this it spends a few minutes thinking then does nothing.
    Is there a bug floating around out there or a recent glitch?
    Thanks,
    Nominrath

    Here was the problem I solved myself: My hosting service, Hostmonster, has a "convenient" application using a script that allegedly will set up your client Mail on a Mac for some standard email services, including iCloud. As long as the script was implemented, it was preventing my mailbox from connecting, not enabling it. The only way I know of to stop the Hostmonster script is to delete the account, and then manually reinstall it. That solved the problem.

  • Safari Mac won't display Rich Text HTML editor in Yahoo web mail

    "Safari 3.2 (Mac)", "Yahoo email", "Compose Message" Toolbar, Rich Text (HTML) editor.
    In Yahoo's Compose Message editor, I don't see the Rich Text (HTML) editor and its toolbar while using Safari 3.2 in Yahoo mail (classic). In Firefox, I see the Rich Text editor toolbar and it works fine.
    I've searched on this forum, including Yahoo and others, and don't see this complaint. Is there something I've overlooked?
    Is Safari Mac even capable of running the Rich Text editor in Yahoo email?

    Hi Semi,
    I found this in the Yahoo Mail Help:
    How do I write in BOLD, italics or Color, or change font size?
    On the Compose page, above the upper-right corner of the compose window, there's a link that either says Rich Text or Plain Text. Click this link to switch back and forth between the two. Since the link is the switch, you'll actually see Plain Text when you're in Rich Text.
    In Rich Text, you can change the look of your message in a bunch of different ways. Again, since the link is there to switch from one mode to the other, if you see Plain Text, that means you're already in Rich Text! If you see Rich Text, click it.
    The Rich Text toolbar appears above the Compose window.
    Spell check
    Going from left to right, the first button is the 'abc' spell-check button. Click it anytime to check your spelling starting at the beginning of your email. When you're finished, click Close.
    Font and Size
    Font: The Font button has two F’s on it. Click it to view other Font choices and select another Font.
    Size: Click the button with two A’s on it to choose the size of type you want. Browse the menu and click the size you want.
    Bold, Italics and Underline
    B is for Bold, I is for Italics, and U is for Underline. Emphasize your point! :o)
    To use these formatting tools, either click a button and start typing, or, select a block of text (or one word), and then click a button to format the text.
    color
    Text Color: Click the "T" button to see a palette of many colors. Select the text color you want, and start typing. Or, select a block of text (or one word), and then click the button to apply the color.
    Background color: Want to give your text a background color? Either click the highlighter color you want and then start typing, or, select the text to which you'd like to add a background, then press this button to apply the highlighting color.
    Emoticons
    Add emotional oomph to what you say by selecting from the list of graphical emoticons.
    Links and Lines
    Globe with Links button: Insert a web site link!
    Line button: Insert a horizontal line. Handy!
    Alignment
    Choose from flush-left, centered, or flush-right text alignment.
    Lists
    Bullets and Numbering button: create bulleted or numbered lists.
    Indenting
    Decrease Indent: Place the cursor where you would like to move the text to the left and click the "Decrease Indent" button.
    Increase Indent: Place the cursor where you would like to move the text to the right and click the "Increase Indent" button.
    Yahoo hasn't the best rich text editor out there for e-mail. Why not use Mac Mail... so much easier and supports RT. Yahoo having laid off personnel, I doubt if their internet based mail client sees much in the way of improvement anytime soon.

  • Mail does not display pictures in MT Lion

    I do not get pictures in Mt. Lion.  I have tried the html selection both checked and unchecked to no avail.
    For other mail I get a link to display in browser, previously it displayed in the body of the email.
    Is this an added "benefit" of Mt. Lion or am i missing something?
    I need some detailed help to restore mail 6.2 to respond as it previously did.

    I am at a loss here! Mail should by default automatically 'download' the pics inline (sometimes with a big file that takes some time). I have no idea whether the att.net email server has any special settings that are required, if at all. Why not try deleting the account inside of Mail on your MBPro and recreating it again from scratch just to see whether it works!

  • Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

    I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
    the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
    experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
    2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
    If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
    list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
    using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
    lastest build release.
    Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
    printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
    editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
    Thanks,

    Hi Gavin,
    If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
    if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
    UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
    then
    -- insert your HTML code in the value
    -- of your field. something like...
    newValue := '<B>' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '</B>
    srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
    else
    -- when generating to other format,
    -- you'd have to add the formatting as
    -- you want.
    end if
    return( true );
    Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
    Good luck... :-)

  • Displaying data in HTML format

    This has probably been answered before but when I try to display information from a table column in HTML it loses some formatting capabilities such as carriage returns. What causes this?  Does it have to do with DOCTYPE?

  • Lightroom 2.4 - Won't display pictures in preview thumbnail and main panel

    I've included a picture so you get what i mean?
    I'm currently using lightroom 2.4 which i've upgraded from 2.2 (2.2 actually had this problem so i decided to bite the bullet and upgrade but it didn't help my problem). I tried creating a new catalogue, importing a new photo, syncronising the folders, optimising the catalogue and re-installing lightroom 2.4. I also restored my computer to a couple of days ago. I know it worked a couple of days ago so im not sure exactly whats happening here.
    I've opened up other photo editing programs to see if i can view the photos and yes I can.
    I know in lightroom when i go to print or web or slideshow it will show the picture but I just don't understand what i can do to resolve this problem. I tried searching on google and its driving me up the wall.
    I hope someone knows whats going on here!
