Mavericks is altering my Mail Signature fonts and spacing. Fix?

This started as soon as upgraded to Mavericks on my iMac. I try to fix it every time I log in but the next day it happens again. I have to create it in Word and then in import it because I can't get the correct appearance by doing that in Signatures itself. Even when the imported Sig is correct for size, font, spacing, it imports in a crazy way. Is this a bug or am I not doing something right?

Are you creating a HTML signature? This would be the way to go.

  • When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single and 10pt. It just started doing this a month ago. It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer. Help, I hate explorer.

    If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
    Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.

  • Mac Mail Signature Font

    Hello Everyone,
    I am having a very strange problem in my Mac mail program and was wondering if anyone had any advice.
    Our company has new customized email signatures and whenever we use this signature in an email it changes the font in the body of the email to match the font contained in the signature which is too small to use for an email.
    I was just wondering if anyone has come across this problem before and if so, how did they fix it?
    Thanks!!

  • Mail signature dropped and randomised

    I have recently had problems with my signatures in Mail. The signature is ok on my default mail account but for all my other addresses it is as if Mail cannot hold them. In my Mail preferences they are sitting there but won't stick to their relevant accounts. I re-assign the signatures to their accounts and that works until I exit the programme but then they go missing.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hi Mike,
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this whole folder to the Desktop & reboot, setup a Signature or 3 again & see if they hold...

  • Mail changing fonts and text colour as I type

    I am having a problem with the text changing colour and even the font as i type replys. I have checked the defaults and the fonts and colours are set as the defaults and have never been changed. Can anyone help at all its driving me up the wall!

    Nothing's changed hardware-wise, I've been experiencing it since a re-install of Arch from the latest install media, both in Openbox and Xfce.
    I just found this thread, and I'm not sure if it's related, but it is similar since text that was not copied was pasted.  I've gone ahead and disabled TapButton 2 and 3.  I sure hope this is the solution
    If I experience it again I'll post, but in the meantime if anybody has had an issue very similar to this and has a solution other than to disable two and three finger tap, please post it.  Also, if you need config or log files, tell me.

  • E-Mail Signature Grey and Single Line after PR1.2 ...

    Hi
    After having updated my N900 to PR1.2, I now find that when I reply to, or create a new message in the standard e-mail client , my automatic signature is inserted in grey instead of black, and all linefeeds are left out so the whole thing appears in one line instead of four which is how I have it.
    Sure, I can edit it and re-insert the linefeeds and make it all black, but this is clearly not the point. It worked fine prior to 1.2 and should continue to work fine after the upgrade.
    One quirk of this 'bug' is that, once I've opened a new message (with the incorrect signature), if I change the originating e-mail address (I have more than one e-mail account) by tapping on my e-mail address at the top and selecing a different one, the signature 'repairs' itself and the linefeeds re-appear so the signature then looks fine except that it's still in grey.
    Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a fix?
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    for some reason on the new pr 1.2 version, the signiture is requiring html to have the breaks.
    if your signiture used to look like:
    Joe Blow
    ABC Corp.
    [email protected]
    888-555-1212
    Sent from my Nokia n900
    then is now looks like this:
    Joe BlowABC [email protected] Sent from my Nokia n900
    to fix this, write it this way:
    Joe Blow<br>
    ABC Corp.<br>
    [email protected]<br>
    888-821-0937<br>
    <br>
    Sent from my Nokia n900.
    it will still show up as a light grey/brown, but it will now be formated correctly.

  • Apple Mail font  and colour changes while typing!

    I'm having an issue whereby the font and colour changes back to the default while I'm typing an email!
    I have several signatures.  When I select a signature and start typing, at apparently random moments, the font reverts to the default!
    This will happen when I'm typing a line and, when it changes, if I cmd-z to undo my typing character by character - at some random point it suddenly reverts back to the signature font and colour.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a cause and/or solution?
    Thanks,
    Geoff

  • Mail: fonts AND colors

    I want to change the font for my mail Message Font. Using Mail > Preferences > Fonts and Color, I can do that.
    HOWeVER, how do I change the default color of the font I write my message in to something besides BLACK?? I know how to select the text of the message and then change the color. I want the default color to be something of my choosing for all of my outgoing messages.

    Thanks for the replies.... I still think that the 'preferences' menu location for the font colour option is totally counter intuitive though.. I asked some of the Mac-heads in the office to show me how to change the default font and they all went for that option expecting it to work.. It really threw me as it's the 1st time I've come across something on a Mac that's harder to figure out than a PC!
    I managed to get my Mum's email fonts sorted out with a new stationery item now though, so all's well that ends well as they say

  • How do I change line spacing in a Mail signature?  Where's the formatting menu?

    I want to reduce double-spacing in my Mail signature to single spacing so it's more compact and doesn't take up all kinds of vertical space (more than the email itself--I've had recipients complain about this--and it's a business email).  I have a logo (.png) in the signature that I've been using with no problem.  I have text above and below the logo.  It's just too widely spaced.  Surely there must be a formatting menu that I can use to shrink the line spacing in Mail Signatures?  Or elsewhere, then reimport and have the formatting stick?  This is a pretty basic feature for an email client to offer.  Is there a simple solution to this?

  • How do I get my Mac Mail signature to be single spaced close together and not what looks like a double space?

    I am using Mac Mail on Mac Air  with 10.10.  I have a multi line signature but it looks double spaced and I can't get it to look like a single spaced signature.  I tried different fonts and sizes.
    Appreciate your assistance.

    I Finally resolved my problem after much research. On my I pad 4 with retina in the field under settings there is a list to choose from-- ex. Aol,Google, yahoo, etc. I chose other and entered att. Used pw and bingo! Problem resolved. It is somewhat configured a little different; but at least I can get all of my 500 e mails.
    apple takes IMAP but this is under pop And at least my persistence paid off. You would think something so simple would be informative to us in a better way.

  • Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

    Does anyone know how to restore mail signatures in Mavericks?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Does anyone know if Apple will solve this?

  • Mail box font is TOO BIG (maverick OSX)

    hi:
    i sadly just upgraded to the new osX. all sorts of problems and as usual no simple chat to ask direct questions.
    even though i got it from app store.  no chat options are showing... for me. apparently they are suppose to.
    so maybe someone in the community can help me.
    the FONT on the mailbox panel + the message listing panel, are TOO BIG. and no matter what i do in the properties under font, it has no impact.
    the properities/font appears only to impact the email message itself.
    I need to change the FONT back to what it was before i upgraded to maverick OSX from snow leopard. its way too big.
    since upgrading to maverick OSX, the font in my browswer (firefox) is still OK. nothing apears to have changed.
    but in the apple mail app - A MESS.
    any clues?

    hi bee, thankyou for your trying to help, but unfortunately you missed a key word in my question. I am asking "mailbox" pane.
    your answer is for the 3rd pane, the email message itself. i have no issue with that. properties has not changed in teh upgrade to maverick OS.
    the 2nd pane (message listing) and 1st pane (listing of mailbox) HAS CHANGED in upgrade to maverick OSX.
    what i learnt from apple support is:
    pane 2: listing of what is in mailbox. -- was possible to change font in classic style. can continue to do this in maverick osx ONLY if you choose the option retain "classic style" under properties/view. else changing the setting in your screenshot has NO IMPACT in the new user interface.  so that in my book is bad coding. defect.
    pane 1: listing of mailbox -- not possible.  and got uglier in maverick OS as now the font is even bigger. plain ugly and needs to be retified. i have about 10 mailboxes so all my screenspace is gone with just the mailboxes and requires scrolling to folders. boring....
