My incoming emailes default to plain text even though view-message body as-originalHTML is checked

Most (not all) of my incoming emails (in particular from one main client's employees) always come in plain text, I want to be able to view all message in HTML format and reply in html format (this is generally fine fr my response, but the trail leaves all their comments in plain text).
I have view-message body as-originalHTML as ticked. Stil doesn't work. I run Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Mac 10.7.5. My server is gmail
FYI, In account settings I have ticked the box 'compose messages in HTML format". Not that that is relevant..

The email client they are using is relevant, and are you sure your getting HTML in the emails (ctrl+U will show message source)
The normal arrangement is if Plain text and HTML are sent they are Plain text, followed by HTML. But having both like that is not a problem.

Seeing replies to other persons group text even though group messaging is off

I have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6.1.2. When my daughter's coach sends a text message from his iphone to the whole team, I can see the replies of those people who also have iphones. Now I can't text coach without everyone seeing the text. I have group messaging turned off.

That's how imessage works on the iphone.
If you want to reply to just the coach, then create a new imessage just to him.

incoming mail does not appear automatically even though preferences is set to check for new mail every minute

If by download bar you are referring to the spinning gears, they are gone in Mail 6.5. There is no indication Mail is checking for Mail. If it finds Mail, it will show it downloading in the lower left hand corner.
Under the Window menu there is Activity. Try opening it and you should be able to see if Mail is checking for new mail.

I tunes defaults back to "C" even though music is located on another drive?

I have my music installed on a drive other than "C" and for no aparent reason itunes defaults back to "c" even though in preferences I nominate the location of the music files which works fine until I reboot. Why does it do this? How can I stop this happening?

One possibility: If the location where you store your music is not available when you start iTunes, it will revert to your c: drive. So if you are using and extrenal HD, make sure it is up and running before starting iTunes.

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

Take us through this in more detail.
What is the Word file? From a PC?
What version of Word and what is the file extension?
What is it about the text that is different?
When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

<Email Edited by Host>

As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

When i go to send a new text, the text field isn't blank. There is already text entered in the message body.

When i go to send a new text, the text field isn't blank. There is already text entered in the message body that I have to go in and delete before typing my new text. this prevents me from forwarding anything through text because if I get something I wish to forward, selecting forward as an option always brings up the same junk just like when trying to send a new message. How can i remedy this?

Here it goes -
1) Download iBackupBot: http://download.cnet.com/iBackupBot/3000-2141_4-10969873.html
2) Plug phone into computer and run backup
3) Use "Explorer" box to find Messages: HomeDomain/Library/SMS/Drafts/(null).draft/
4) In "Null Drafts" there is a file "message.plist"
5) Double click to open, (cancel the popup if you did not purchase the iBackupBot) and you will see the prepopulating message on the <string> line 6
6) Delete the offending text, leave all code
7) Close text editor
8) Right click on message.plist file and select "Restore selected item(s) to device"
9) File will be restored to your phone and it will restart itself.
10) Voila! Now it is time to consider that Windows phone....:)

View Received HTML Emails - ONLY Displays Plain Text!

I've got Apple Mail set up running two IMAP Email accounts (including .Mac), and two POP3 accounts. For quite some time now, Mail refuses to display ANY email message (no matter what email address receives the message) that has HTML/images in it. For example:
The Apple newsletters for Apple Computer, and the iTunes store that come out periodically, they never display with the images- it's always a boat load of hyperlinks, random text here and there and HTML all over the place. I've purchased e-tickets from United Airlines online and have been unable to print out my confirmation because the email comes through with just the HTML, some text and everything all over the place.
I operate heavily with my email and this is an issue that may get me to ditch Mail permanently if I can't get it to work properly. I am diligent about doing Apple Software Updates, I've gone through the Preferences of Mail time and again, I even erased my harddrive and did a complete system-rebuild just to see if this would fix the problem, and alas no such luck.
I'm not even getting the drop down bar that asks "Do you want to view images associated with this email?" And when I do get an email that I know has images in it and is in the form of HTML, the images aren't even located in attachments.
Does anyone have ANY ideas? I've tried deleting the com.apple.mail.plist file several times to no avail. Is there anything that I could be overlooking? I'd really hate to ditch Mail for Thunderbird or worse, Entourage.
Thanks in advance.

Or you could try this:
To make Plain Text the preferred alternative for viewing messages (which may or may not accomplish what you want), quit Mail, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
You can revert to the default setting with the following command:
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
And you can reverse the setting regardless of what the default setting is with the following command:
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool FALSE

HTML emails render as plain text. Restarting Mail.app resolves the issue

I keep seeing this problem every day. Occasionally when I receive an HTML email (e.g. a newsletter), the HTML isn't rendered -- instead some sort of plain text equivalent is displayed, which is full of entity codes and URLs to all the images in the HTML. Clearly not right.
If I restart Mail.app when this occurs, the HTML email is ALWAYS rendered correctly. It's really annoying having to do this every day!
It seems like it could be to do with leaving Mail.app running when my Mac is in Sleep mode -- the issue always seems to occur when I wake the Mac. When I have restarted Mail.app after the issue occurs, all incoming HTML emails are rendered correctly.
Has anyone else seen this issue and do you know of a workaround? How do I submit a bug to Apple?
Cheers,
Olly

Hi again:
The preference file is located in the home folder (~library>preferences). Occasionally (rare, but it happens) preference files become corrupted and then cause all sorts of odd behavior.

Why is Apple Mail sending in plain text even when rich text is set as preference?

I have Verdana selected as my Message Font and the Composing Message Format preference set as Rich Text, yet Apple Mail sends new messages in plain text (Monaco). When I type the message it shows in Verdana. When I check it in Sent Mail, it is in Monaco. When I choose Send Again, the new massage appears in Verdana again, but after sending it is in Monaco. Also, The received message in in Monaco. I've tested this with other fonts and font sizes and the same thing happens.
How do I fix this?
Note: Mail correctly replies in the same format as received messages. Only new mail has the plain text problem.

I suspect that for each one you need to go to Format > Make Plain Text

Pre email downloaded and notifications received even though disabled

I have access to a computer most days and don't need the auto download to my phone, I simply want to check my email when I am away from a computer. I have turned off the notifications under the email preferences and set the Get Mail option to Manual. Despite this, my Pre is still automatically checking my email and notifying me of new emails. While at a sprint store the tech looked at me phone and said everything was set right. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know how to fix it?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have the same problem, running Web OS 1.1.0. Since I picked up my phone a couple weeks ago I'd awake to find my battery almost compeltely discharged. I was about to return my phone for a Blackberry.
I've verified this is my problem:
1) Set to manual, send an email to my gmail, I get notified of the new mail even though the mail app isn't open and I haven't synchronized it.
2) With the account removed I lose less than 10% batter, previously I'd lose 70% of my battery.
I just really want Palm to acknowedge that they are working on the issue since it is a deal breaker for me. I don't want to give up my Pre, but I NEED more than a day's battery life. Especially since I'm an extremely light voice, text, and data user.

You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there should be an item named "Genieo". Select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you couldn't complete Step 1, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
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 and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the developer sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." If that happens, don't believe anything he says, but feel free to tell him what you think of his scam.

I changed my rescue ID and want to use my former rescue ID as my new apple ID, but it won't let me as it still says that email is my resuce ID, even though the new rescue ID email has been verified! Help!

My apple ID is associated with an old email I never use. My current email was set as my rescue email, so I could not make that my new Apple ID. I have changed my rescue email to another email address and verified it, but when I now try to update my apple ID it still says I cannot use that email address becuase it's my rescue email address, even though it is not. HELP!

That usually means it's associated with another ID or used somewhere else.
The following article(s) may help you.
