No stationery templates

I have Leopard and I've installed all updates but I don't seem to have the mail templates. I've looked through the preferences and the help file but can't seem to find the answer.

first, just to clarify, "show stationery" button should only be available in a message composition window, not in a message viewer window. if it's really not there, start a new message and go to view menu->customize toolbar. drag the "show stationery" button to the toolbar.

Problems using the 'stationery template' feature in mail

I have used the stationery templates feature in mail without any problems in the past. Now when i send a stationery template, like a photo template, the email is unreadable for the people receiving my emails (both Mac & PC). Sometimes the email looks like a Picasso painting or the receiver gets a bunch of attachments as if the email came in a bunch of separate files. Could this be possible due to the upgrade to 10.6 from 10.5? Or am i doing something wrong? Is there a separate upgrade for this?
thanks

Mail Stationery Templates are in Latin? How do I get them to English?

I've searched and searched and finally reached the end of the internet with no answer! All my mail stationery templates default to Latin. How do I get them to default to English. HELP!

it's not Latin. It's Lorem Ipsum

It's a placeholder text without any meaning.

Stationery Template - appearance breaks when recipient opens

I've tested several Mail Stationery Templates. They seem to break their formating when I send them to non Mac users (my mother). When I send a test email to myself it looks fine. Any solutions or suggestions? Wish I could attach my mom's reply to show the problem. Very disappointed in this shortcoming. Am I loading the mail message with too much information (photo, text, fonts, color)?

Yes, and the worst:

If you had Pages previously it should be in your Applications > iWork folder.

Installing New Mac Mail Stationery Templates

I'm trying to install a custom stationery template into my Mac Mail which I believe should be placed here.
Library > Application Support > Mail > Stationery > Apple > Contents > Resources > Custom > Contents > Resources
However, there's no "Mail" folder within my "Application Support".
If you have any suggestions, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks, in advance.

Back to the original problem:
I'm trying to install a custom stationery template into my Mac Mail
Who from, and did they provide an installer?
The reason I ask is that I recently downloaded and installed a set of stationery templates for Mail from
http://www.jumsoft.com/stationery/
They work perfectly. The installer put them at the location I mentioned, but I have no idea whether the installer created that subfolder where I found them.
Worth checking.

Making Personalized Stationery Templates

I've not had any luck finding where the instructions are for creating personalized stationery templates for Mail. Probably a simple thing to do. Any pointers to where the instructions are?

Creating New Stationery Templates

Running Lion, how do you create new stationery templates for Mail? There are several articles in Google for Snow Leopard, et al, but nothing for Lion. Same in this Forum - everything regarding stationery seems to be 2-3 years old???
Also, where do the JPG's for the current stationery reside??
Thanks.
Mark

As far as I know there is no way to place text on top of an attached image in Mail.
When you click on an image attached to Mail, the image is selected; when you then type in new text, the text replaces the image, just as it would replace any selected text.
You can add background color, set font face, style, and color for selected text, and do some other standard text formatting things.
But, Mail is not a word processor nor a page layout program. There is no word wrap-around for embedded (attached) images, nor the ability to layer text on top of such an image.
If you want to have text on top of an image, do that in another program (Preview or Pages, for example, depending on the complexity) and then attach the resulting composite to the email.
How it was done for the predefined templates is something I have not been able to replicate.

Mail Stationery Templates

The 30 or so professionally designed stationery templates that come as standard with the Mail application have disappeared from my computer. I know not how!!
I am running OSX v 10.5.8 and Mail version 3.6 (936)
Where can I find the templates on my computer or where can I download them?
Please advise

then reinstall Mail from the Leopard disk as Klaus says. this will not affect your Mail data in any way. it will just reinstall the Mail application. applications never contain any user data. that's stored in your home directory and will not be touched. after you reinstall Mail you'll also need to reinstall 10.5.8 combo update (download it by hand from the apple website) to bring Mail to its current version.

Stationery templates

I accidentally removed the stationery files from my MacBook. I cannot locate them on my 10.5.6 upgrade DVD. I need to know here I can get them and which directory to install them to. Mny thx for your help.
Cheerz,
Dave

default stationery templates are in /Library/Application Support/Apple/Mail/Stationery.
You can easily find them on the install DVD using Pacifist.

BTW, How did you manage to "accidentally" delete them without knowing where they are located?

Other stationery templates...

Does anyone know if there are or will be ways to add addtional templates for the mail program. I find the ones included a little fluffy and would like other options.

Hi Gabriel,
I had the same thought. This is the only solution I can find at present.
http://www.equinux.com/us/products/stationery/index.html
I've looked at the Equinux offering but, as an artist, I'd rather
spend the money on crafting my own rather than spending money on their
design sense. Some of the templates look great but many, if not most,
aren't to my taste or needs.
I was rather thinking that someone might create an application to create and install templates and possibly host a template exchange. Toward that end, I contacted the Plasq crew (ComicLife) but they are too busy to take on another project and suggested I keep trumpeting the concept. I do believe the idea is obvious enough that an enterprising developer will create a Mail.app template creation application pretty quickly.
Oh well. Ideas are cheap. Turning them into reality is the hard part!

Stationery (templates) behaviour question

As a Licensed Old Crank, I've done what I can to get rid of Starting Points, and never have gone into Templates. Recently I created a blank, landscape oriented 11x17 document in Draw and saved it where I wanted, as Stationery (.cws) for on-going use ignoring the Templates default.
When I open the document w/ a double click, a window in my format pops open called "Untitled" just as expected. But unexpectedly, my Stationery document makes a copy of itself called "<name> copy.cws", or copy1, 2 etc. if there's already such a document. Each one behaves as Stationery, but none 'is' the item I'm working with, just waiting for a new name, or to swap its .cws for a .cwk on saving. Of course using a tedious Open… dialogue in AW (and having to select the document type AWTemplates, which are apparently not AW Documents) works perfectly.
It's only for my amusement that I ask; is there an accepted theory about the purpose intended by such bizarre non-standard behaviour? Has it ever been reported elswhere in the Applverse? Or does it join List View in Tiger's Finder that unaccountably has no Cut in its Edit menu in the Hall of Apple Oddities?

AppleWorks template files are intended to be opened from Starting Points (they contain information that AW uses to organize your template files). It doesn't hurt anything, but is just a matter of self-preservation. AppleWorks has indexed those template files so you can find them easily from within AppleWorks. If your Mac has multiple user accounts, it keeps each user's templates separate from the others, while allowing all users access to the common templates. When you try to open them from the Finder, AW immediately makes a copy of it to make it harder for you to make an inadvertent change to the original indexed version.
If you want to be able to double-click a template, you can use my solution to delete the original template after a "copy" was created, then remove "(space)copy" from the name of the copy created. I found that this copy (now named as the original template) will not create copies.

Stationery Template Problem

I am currently using my own template in stationery on mail, which works great. however when i send it out to people they receive only the text and the actual template comes out white with a lil' blue box with a question mark in at the header and footer.
hope you can help ive never used forums so hope i have gone about this in the right way.

Doesn't sound like it.

So you mean stationary or a signature? How did you create this template? What e-mail program are the recipients using?

Stationery location for new templates

I created a new folder of stationery and placed it in the same location as the other Apple stationery templates. I updated the table of contents as well as the other pertinent stuff like English.lproj, and they are listed and operate perfectly.
However now I'm wondering if future OS updates will overwrite the Resources folder there (which would restore it back to only the Apple default categories). Does anyone know if they are safe there, or should I put them by themselves in the ~Library path? And if so, do I still list it in the main table of content.plist which resides in the main path? thanks.

Well, I'll just forget about the rationale for the change in Folder organization. I will assume that the new one will be around for a while. Now the question arises, how can older projects be restructured so they conform to the new organization? (I have some older projects, all under revision control using git, that I want to reorganize.)

HT2500 How can I make a new template in mail stationery(OS 10.6.8) with my own logo and background?

Is it possible to make a new template with my own logo and background?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Open Mail, Help
So, create your template from scratch or edit an existing Mail template and re-save it with a new name.
Your own saved or edited/re-saved templates are stored in the Custom list at the bottom of the Stationery types.
The default templates remain with original names in the original folders.
Then to use your template in a New Message, select it from Show Stationery, Custom.
To make it easier to select Stationery templates, first open Mail, New Message, View, Customize Toolbar, and then drag the Show Stationery button to the New Message toolbar. (It will not ever appear in the default Mail toolbar, only the New Message toolbar, and can only be added to the New Message toolbar.)
