No Images in E-mail message

Ok so my family sent us a bunch of pictures in an e-mail message, so when i go open it in mail i only can see the text that in which they wrote the letter, the images appear blank with [ ] <----- This symbol. Does any one know a fix for this i know that the image format is compatible but i dont know whats wrong.

Hi gchhour,
This is the AppleWorks forum, used for discussion of issues and techniques affecting the productivity application AppleWorks.
Your question will have a better chance of receiving a useful reply in the Mail and Address Book forum in the area for your version of Mac OS X. The link goes to the Mail and AAddress Book forum for OS X v10.5 (Leopard).

Changing the image associated with mail messages (iphone 5)

Hello!
I have an iPhone 5 and use Hotmail as it's default mail send account (I know I know!). I also have several other mail accounts on the phone but use hotmail as the default as it is my most common account. For hotmail messages (and none of the others accounts), a little image appears beside the subject line on mail sent from this account. It is an eagle's head (one of those mac stock images). I'm trying to replace this with another pic, or just remove it altogether. I have a different image selected in all user/contact/mail account info on my imac that the phone syncs to, in my iCloud account, and in my contacts and mail accounts on the phone itself. Still the darn eagle image shows in the subject line for hotmail messages from the phone. Any advice on getting rid of the annoying eagle would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Click on a .jpg file (in Finder) and Get Info (Apple-I). Click the Open With dropdown menu, select Preview, then click the Change All button.
Hope this helps...
EDIT: My fault - should have read your post all the way through and I would have seen that you did something very similar, but different in that you used the contextual menu and the checkbox. However, you might try the steps I suggested. I just created a new jpg in Photoshop and saved it, a double-click opens it in PhotoShop, then I changed Open With to Preview in the Get info dialog, and now a double-click opens it in Preview. Note that Preview was on the drop-down list, no need to select Other...
If this fails, you can try rebuilding or resetting your LaunchServices database using Onyx. LaunchServices is what associates file types with applications; rebuild can fix problems (such as the one I just noticed - my Open With drop-down in Get Info shows one Preview, but two Firefoxes, three Safaris and four RealPlayers!!). Resetting the database will kill all associations, so each time you open a new file type you'll be asked to pick an app, until the database is repopulated).

Using Safari to send HTML Mail message but Mail keeps dropping images?

I'd like to use Safari to send html Mail messages, but when I click on File>Mail Contents... Mail opens a new window but my graphics are gone. (I'm creating the html pages using MS Word for the Mac.) I get a flash of the graphics for a second, and then they are replaced by a little blue lego. Any ideas? I've tried all kinds of mail preferences but nothing seems to help.

Figured it out (at least one way): had to load the image to a server and then add the image as a link only (uncheck "save picture with document" box).

Why are PDF and Image Files embedded in all sent mail messages?

When sending mail with either PDF or Image Files as attachments, the person receiving the message does get the attachment, but the files are also embedded in the mail message. This will display the image file below my text, however with a PDF, it's just trying to display as an image but is just lots of garbled characters. Word docs are not embedded, just attached. Any ideas how to prevent this? I'm attaching files by using the attach button and browsing for the file like normal. Thanks!

Inserting Remote Image In Mail Message?

Hi,
Is it possible to link to a Remote Image in an Apple Mail Message and have it load within the e-mail? What I mean is, can you link to a photo on a site like Flickr, and have the image display within the e-mail, rather than just the text link?

this is possible but you have to jump through hoops to do it which personally strikes me as completely ridiculous.
the only way I know how to achieve this is the following.
make an html document using your favorite html editor and insert a remote pic in it.
then open this file in safari and enter command+i. this page will be opened in a new outgoing mail message and you can mail it.
I would be delighted to know if there is an easier way to do this.

How can I attach a jpg file in a mail message as the file icon, not as an opened image in the text?

what's wrong with this picture

Mail on disk image, Spotlight can find messages, but "entire message" can't

For security purposes I've moved my to a disk image. For details on how to do this, see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5837719
It's a relatively easy thing to do as long as you make sure that a symbolic link exists to your new Mail disk image's volume from ~/Library/Mail.
Getting to the point: Spotlight is able to find my mail messages when the disk image is mounted. So far -- no problem.
The catch is this: Mail->Search->"Entire Message" is completely broken. I get zero results, no matter what the query is. Finder Spotlight searches are able to find results for the same queries. We're talking about local mbox folders, not online IMAP folders. Searches within Mail in To/From work fine.
I've tried the following suggestions, scoured from various help forums:
-- repairing disk permissions
-- rebuilding the Spotlight index
-- deleting Envelope Index and re-importing my messages
-- vacuuming the SQLite databases
None of these suggestions helped.
I've caught wind of this on other forums, but so far there doesn't seem to be a definitive fix, unless I've missed something. I'm not sure if the fact that I'm running Mail from a disk image is particularly germaine to the issue, either.
Any ideas on how to get Search working for entire messages again?
This is on 10.5.1, clean install. (This is a new MacBook.)

Leopard Mail Entire Message Search - FIXED!!!

Thanks Dave. I went to Betalogue and went through all the posts and I finally found a way to fix the Search Entire Message Spotlight problem in Apple Mail - at least it worked for me. I have been trying to fix this with all sorts of solutions for months and it turns out it was related to a problem with the Launch Services Database. I confirmed this by looking inside my user/library/mail folder and seeing that inside each Mailbox folder, the sub mailboxes all had standard folder icons and not the inbox tray style icons.
Note that you can easily fix this through Terminal Commands, and not all the following steps are completely necessary, but there are many people looking at these threads that want to just push buttons...
*== So here are my simple steps to fixing Apple Mail Search ==*
1. Attach and turn on any external hard drives you have that may have a copy of Mail.app on them
2. Delete all OLD copies of Mail.app that you can find (don't worry about Time Machine), but make sure you keep the latest version of Mail.app in your working Applications folder.
~ This is so that the LaunchServices database won't easily become corrupt again
3. Install the latest version of Onyx - free to use and download from www.macupdate.com
~ I suggest Onyx, because some people don't want to mess with the Terminal.
4. Quit all open applications and run Onyx (it will want to check your Hard Drive etc...that's OK).
5. Go to the Maintenance pane and then the Rebuild tab and select only the LaunchServices box. Click Execute.
~ This should fix the primary problem with searches
6. When that process finishes, select only the Mail's Envelope Index box. Click Execute.
~ This should fix related problems with other searches
7. When that process finishes, select only the Spotlight Index box. Click Execute. (This process of Rebuilding your Spotlight Index could take hours depending on how big your hard drive is).
~ This will give you a clean fast Spotlight database that Mail uses for Entire Message searches.
8. Quit Onyx
9. Open Mail.app and test your Entire Message Search!

Hope that helps - it certainly, finally, did for me!

Display problems in Mail messages with image attachment

Issue: Seeing intermittent display problems in Mail messages with image attachments
Annoyance level: minor, but Apple techs need to pass it along
Details: Regardless of mail client sending to iPhone (Outlook, OWA, Yahoo, Gmail) there are intermittent and what appear to be random occurrances of the pic being half rendered and/or the pic never loading (followed by message saying it can't be retrieved from server). In some instances the picture then appears fully rendered without a problem. Note: Image sizes varied from 14KB to 450KB

Hi,
I'm not familiar with C#, but if possible try the following:
1. Removing all thead and tbody tags from the body of the message.
2. Changing all inline CSS to embedded CSS.
I've seen a user said the message stopped showing up after making the changes.
If the issue persists, please note, since Outlook 2007, Outlook opens the HTML Email and converts it to Microsoft Word format before displaying it to the user. What happens during this process is that many CSS attributes and HTML support is completely removed.
Some of the most notable absences are background-image, and padding and margin support. Hardly can we do much about this, so the message "If there are problems with how this email is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser" is actually
a good workaround when we face this problem.

HT5361 Is it possible to embed raw latex into a mail message to display an equation?

Hi,
Is it possible to embed raw latex (or any other meta data format like HTML) into a mail message? I would really like to be able to send equations directly without converting them to PDF or GIF first.
Thanks,
Joe

I just borrowed a quadratic equation from the MathML Wikipedia site and grafted it into an HTML document. It imaged fine in Safari 7. It should be noted that neither the latest Google Chrome or FIrefox rendered the same content accurately.
Laying out your entire email message (including MathML) in HTML can be tedious. Once it is displayed in the browser, each use of the command+I will put the browser content in a new Mail compose window. So, you cannot add an equation to existing Mail composition. Select, copy and paste (or paste and match style) will not work either.
Depending on the importance you place on email equations, at one time, Design Science (MathType) claimed compatibility with Apple Mail (4.5) where you could input your equation in MathType and it could then be placed within the email. The mail recipient would not need a copy of MathType installed for this to work. MathType even allows you to key your equation in with LaTeX syntax to generate the equation.
You could check with them about functionality (or restrictions) with Mail 6 and 7 on OS X, as it might provide a more productive way to achieve your goals.

"Missing Plug-in" instead of image in incoming mail

Recently, some mail has arrived with gray text reading "Missing Plug-in" where the image should be. The attachment size shows next to the paper clip, and I can use the Save button to save the image, and view it with Preview.
But when I try to cut and paste the saved image into an outgoing message, the same gray text appears instead.
Not all incoming mail behaves this way. I have not yet been able to determine if this is unique to a single sender.

Greetings All,
I've recently noticed the "Missing Plug-in" phenomenon too in Apple Mail (Version 3.6 (936)). I've tried resetting Java preferences by clicking the "Restore Defaults" button, but there's no change. Since I'm running Leopard 10.5.8 I didn't download the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2 at http://support.apple.com/downloads/. Is it okay to load this update if I'm running OS X 10.5.8? If so, I'll give it a try, but I don't want to attempt a fix if it's going to cause more problems.
I also went into Safari (Version 5.0.4 (5533.20.27)), into Preferences/Advanced and checked the Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar. I then went into Develop but found no Enable Extensions option. So that was a dead end.
I've checked my system for updates and everything seems to be up to date. However, I suspect that this just may be part of the problem. Sometimes things get fluky when updates occur. Strange how that is.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

How to extract the content of a mail message?

Friends,,,
How to extract the content of a mail message?
the message does not contain any attachments or images.
its just a plain text..
if i use message.getContent(), in addition of the content it returns headers information also...
but i need only the content of that message...
if i write code like this:
String content = (String) message.getContent();
it gives cast exception...
if the message contains only plain text, no multipart, then which method is useful to extract only the content?
please tell me friends..
thanks in advannce,
regards,
Venkata Naveen

Message.getContent() does not return headers for a simple text/plain
message. If you're getting headers, something else is wrong.
Also, casting the result to String should work.
Most likely the message really isn't a simple text/plain message.
Provide more details and we'll help you figure out what you're
doing wrong.
Also, please read the msgshow.java demo program included with JavaMail.

Load remote images in html mail setting does not get saved. I have to turn it off every time I log in. Is this a bug?

Load remote images in html mail setting does not get saved. I have to turn it off every time I log in. Is this a bug?

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

How do I browse my hotmail e-mail messages (while zoomed in) without having to scroll down for each new e-mail (after pressing up arrow for next message)?

In other words, I want to be able to change the default starting scroll position from 'top' to 'bottom' or customize this to 'somewhere in between' so that I don't have to scroll down before reading each new e-mail message.

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That did not happen before.
It happened only on certain pages with Safari, like the google news feed which did not display pix.
However, this new mail problem is really disturbing.
I checked Little Snitch and port 80 is open.
I checked java pref.
I am at a loss.
PLEASE HELP!

Suddenly I see the usual blue box with question mark inside mail messages instead of pix.
That indicates that your Mail preferences are setup to not display remote images in email messages. You should check Mail->Preferences->Viewing and make surre the box to 'Display remote images in HTML messages' is checked.
I checked java pref.
Java has nothing to do with Mail, or displaying images in it or any browser.
