Odd graphic in mail headers

My sister is seeing an odd image when examining the headers of a received email. When her mouse rolls over an area (I guess where address book info links are) then this huge circle appears. Its a powder blue circle with a small, white, downward pointed triangle at the 3 o'clock position. Also the different header fields become widely spaces vertically...
Any ideas?

I don't fully understand what are you talking about, but I have the feeling that your sister has been playing too much with fonts lately:

Odd graphic in mail

Oddly, I noticed that every email I forward from work ends up with an image of a kiss in the upper right hand corner...directly across from the FROM, TO, SUBJECT section.
Anyone else have this or some other graphic only on email from a specific address? Am I missing something?

Does this appear when viewing messages sent by the account in the account's Sent mailbox at work?
If so, you add a user picture (or available icon) via System Preferences/Users under the Picture tab for your login account and this can also be done with your contact information in the Address Book.
Adding a user picture (or available icon) via System Preferences/Users is an easy process but removing it from there isn't as easy.
To remove the existing, go to your contact information in the Address Book. Select Edit to edit your contact information. Select the "Me" picture area to highlight it and then the Delete key.
The user picture or icon selected is not sent with your messages. In order to do so requires storing the picture or icon on the .Mac server (if you have a .Mac account) and even then, it would only appear if the recipient is a Mail.app user.

Need help deleting graphic junk mail

I need help. I cannot delete graphic junk mail into trash. When I try it says unable to move messages. Messages could not be moved to mailbox trash. And the dial keeps spinning. I'm not getting mail cuz this junk is bogging down my iPad & iPhone.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I tried going on my MAC and deleting but they dont show up there?!? I tried rebooting, hard reset, nothin.
Please anyone out there ? I'd be eternally grateful.

If you cannot delete them on the Mac, it will probably be problematic trying to delete them on the iPad as well.
You said you couldn't delete them on the Mac either. If you mean in the Mac mail app, don't delete them there. Delete them on the server in your web browser. Launch Safari - or whatever browser you use on the Mac and then go to your web mail and delete the email there.

Odd graphics problem, eventually leads to forced reboot, or even BSOD

I am fairly certain that this is firefox related, or plug in or maybe compatability issue, however I'm getting weird blocky graphics. which occasionlly seem to begin from a flash frame within a page, but I can't say this is 100% the cause. It looks like small multicolored boxes that are in odd patterns. and causes other odd graphics, it gets worse the longer I let it set. One time for the heck of it I rolled the scroll bar up and down about 10 times very quickly and it caused a BSOD. These odd graphics do not ever appear if I don't open Firefox (have been using IE today) but they do not disappear if I see them and then shut down Firefox. Usually I'm forced to reboot the computer because they take over too much of the screen, I can't see anything. It does change though, when I move windows and such, they are not limited to the Firefox window and spread to the empty desktop too.

Checked settings for Flash and I couldn't find hardware acceleration. 1st tab on Settings Manager is "Storage" and gives options for saving information on my computer ie. "Allow sites to save information on this computer"
2nd tab is Camera and Mic "Ask me when a site wants to use the camera or microphone"
3rd is Playback "Ask me when a site wants to use peer-assisted networking"
4th (last) is Advanced "Check for updates automatically" a couple other settings but no acceleration.

Mail: How To Get Mail Headers To Show "Read"

How can I get the mail headers to "gray" out or be colored when they've been read? Right now, ALL messages in the list are bold black. Once I read an email, it still shows bold and black. I need some sort of identification to show what is NEW and what HAS BEEN READ.
I've been using Outlook, which grays out read messages.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mac mail headers appearing as gibberish

My mac mail headers are suddenly appearing as gibberish. This happened to me once before and I think it had something to do with suitcase and helvetica fractions but I cannot remember how to fix it. I don't seem to have helvetica fractions turned on in suitcase.
Thanks so much

X-Forwarded-For Header in mail headers

Can anyone help how I can instruct Exchange 2013 to include X-Forwarded-For header in mail headers. Usually as per standard, X-Originating-IP is added in mail headers. However, when Exchange 2013 OWA URL is load balanced using F5 (or any other hardware load
balancer), X-Originating-IP would point to load balancer self IP. There is a feature in load balancers to add X-Forwarded-For header when HTTP packets are forwarded to CAS servers by F5. Exchange 2013 is able to detect original client IP in IIS logs through X-Forwarded-For
header, but this headers is not captured by Exchange.
Regards,
Ramesh

Really odd bug in Mail

I occasionally receive pictures from a japanese friend's mobile phone. The file names are like 画像-0203.jpg. The odd thing is mail will just decide to display whichever picture it wants regardless of the number. Let me explain clearly.
(for those wondering, 画像 is pronounced Ga Zoh, it just means Image)
I receive a mail with image 画像-0198.jpg, it's a family playing Wii in japan.
Maybe a little later I will receive another mail from the same person, image 画像-0203.jpg, which in reality is someone singing karaoke but instead displays in the email as 画像-0198.jpg the family playing Wii in japan.
Now if i SAVE those pics, they will save as the correctly named files. If i view as a slideshow, they will display as the correct images. But for some reason in the emails, they all get displayed as the First file i receive.
I tried checking what happens when I quit Mail and reopen. Well the first email I click on from that person will become Mail's favorite and Mail decides to show THAT one in every email. I'm assuming Mail is having trouble with Unicode. What doesn't make sense is, even if Mail is viewing the Unicode as its double-byte equivalent, that's only 4 characters... it shoud be able to differentiate between "DGHY-182" and "DGHY-205" (just as an example).
This HAS to be a bug.

The ability to permanently delete a message without moving it to the Trash first, by means of Edit > Cut (⌘X), seems to be a feature rather than a bug -- I assume you meant Command-X, not Ctrl-X.
It should only work if the main Mail window is on the front and the messages list pane is active, though. Typing ⌘X when a non-editable message window is on the front should do nothing (and it does nothing on my system, just beeps).
Could it be that, for some reason, the message window wasn't the frontmost window when you hit ⌘X? That would certainly explain what happened and it would be intended behavior...

10.6.5 update - 27" iMac, Radeon 5750 odd graphics behaviours?

I updated my new iMac 27" to OS 10.6.5 today and have seen some odd graphics behaviours.
1. Dock icon for Activity Monitor becomes transparent. Running AM, hidden showing CPU history
2. White rectangle at bottom of expanding folder (list view)
3. OK Button blue/white check mark pattern when configuring VPN. GUI feels "slow"
I updated using the Software Update tool; noticed these issues and re-updated using the Combo Installer; no change.
Any ideas or suggestions? Is this just me? I have a MacBook -- no probems at all!

N Gallagher,
I had the problem earluer, but it got far worse with 10.6.5, however, I fixed it by updating my wacom tablet driver.
It wasn't the system update, but an old driver causing the problem.
Resetting PRAM, SMC and permissions and all the other standard drivel people post is nice sentiments, but it should be clear that the problem is something else because that solution hasn't solved the problem for anyone.
I have the sneaky suspicion that it's old flash and old drivers for most people.
See my original post here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12570261#12570261
BUT. If you have a Wacom tablet, for to their website and download the latest driver from September 10, 2010.
That's all it took for all my graphics problems to go away.

Cannot copy mail headers any more in Mail.app

I used to be able to click in the headers to an email, do command-A, then command-C, and it would copy all the headers so I could paste it into another document. For some reason, this has been removed from Mail. If I select all the mail headers and copy them, I only get the email addresses, without any header info. This is killing me. Is there any workaround to this anyone knows?
Thanks

As of 30 Jan 2013, Google stopped supporting Exchange for free accounts. You'll need to set up Gmail using the regular Gmail presets. See this article for some options:

E71 How to delete e-mail headers from phone (IMAP ...

I use IMAP e-mail, so all none deleted e-mails stay on the server and are accessable from anywhere.
I have realised that I can't delete e-mail headers from the phone (I only want the last 7 days or so) . The delete options are: delete from Server and Phone, delete from phone - header remains.
This means that I am building a huge list of headers and will be useing memory.
Anyone found a way around this?
Many thanks. Peter

Nokia email client is not supported for my device (7610).
Also, it seems, there is no way to delete the headers selectively. Normally, when you want to handle the emails through your mobile device, you want to keep only important ones and delete the rest. So, possibly, Nokia can consider this for the future updates of the software, where user can delete the headers selectively to keep the inbox uncluttered and only as per the requirement.

Odd graphic appearing in drafts and sent mail opposite sender/date info

Hi, I was wondering if anyone might be able to offer some advice...
I've noticed just this past day or so that some of my draft and sent mail messages have inexplicably got a small image of a basketball appearing on the far right of the messages directly opposite where an addressee's name and the date of the message would appear. A friend has confirmed that he actually received a message with this basketball logo on it...!
The only other time I have seen this logo was last night when I had launched my iChat program for the first time using my aol IM account details, and I'd noticed the basketball graphic had been assigned next to my name when the program was open... But after deciding the iChat program wasn't offering anything I preferred particularly over my existing aol IM account I deleted my account details in iChat and quit the program... Could this be related?
Would be most grateful for any assistance- obviously with many business/work emails to send a basketball logo in the far right header of outgoing mail is not something I am happy with...!
Thanks.

Hello CMK.
Since you have the option to store sent messages on the server, this must be a .Mac or IMAP type account.
If so, quit the Mail.app and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes.
Locate the Sent Messages.mbox for this account - it will be Sent Messages (the IMAP account's name).mbox.
All locally stored mailboxes for a .Mac or IMAP type account are located in the Mailboxes folder.
Move the account's Sent Messages.mbox to the Desktop.
When re-launching Mail, a new Sent Messages.mbox will be created automatically by Mail for the account within the Mailboxes folder when sending the next message with the account.
This will prevent losing any new sent messages with the account while working on the old Sent Messages.mbox to recover the existing messages.
Control-click on the old Sent Messages.mbox moved to the Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select Show Package Contents.
Post back here listing the package content file names and size of each. This information is required to determine the next step to take.

Emails showing different subject to mail headers

My mail provider is gmail via IMAP, and I connect to this via the mail application.
Until recently all was good with the world.
Now I randomly get a mismatch between the mail sender, the subject that is listed for the mail and the actual email that is shown.
To give an example. if I received two emails from the same person within a few hours, the first email would have the correct sender but either the wrong subject or email body or both and the second email would have the reverse. So the only part that mail is getting right is the sender, the rest is mismatched.
When I look in more details at the email headers via > Mail>View>Message>All Headers the correct Subject is listed in the headers but a combination of the wrong subject appearing in the preview and the wrong actual email are the manifestation of the problem.
Some additional info.
In Mail, I have multiple folders, and total mail volume is plus 6GB.
What have I done up till now to fix the problem
1. Mailbox rebuild; done multiple times, and whilst this does fix the problem for a short time, within 24 hours it reoccurs with different messages (random). Problem with this fix is its temporary and rebuilding your mailbox multiple times is a pain.
2. Removal of account from Mail and rebuild. again this is a temporary fix and whislt this does fix the problem for a short time, within 24 hours it reoccurs with different messages (again random).
3. Total removal of the mail account from mail and deletion of all the associated mail files in the ~/Library/<user>/Maildata/V2.... folder followed by a full import of the mail from scratch. This one is a bit more interesting. The occurrence of the problem seems to be on the newest mail. With this method all mail rules/filters had also been deleted before the resync of mail, hence ruling out the filters as a possible source of the issue. But again randomly mail would be incorrectly listed with the wrong subject.
Why is this a pain, I'll add this just to get everything down on this listing.
So an email client that get one third of the tasks it meant to handle isn't really an email client at all, its a mail transformer and not in a good way, more of a random deceptacon kind of way and its highly infuriating. I have seen various listings about similar problems to this but mostly they seem to be solved by mailbox rebuilding of the mail indexes etc etc. These aren't permanent fixes for this problem and I would be very interested to hear if anyone has similar and has actually fixed this, or are people simply waiting for a fix in the next upgrade of mail in yosemite? or is these something more going on between mail and the interaction with gmail?
Comments welcome.

Kfir,
I guess you've implemented a mapping to create the target email ? If so, you could a feature to build the subject depending on a source message context (field value ? sender ? etc) ...
Otherwise, you may play with dir objects (intf determination for instance) to use different mappings (so diff. subjects) to create target mail (depending on sender/receiver etc) ...

When I open fire fox my yahoo page come up very odd, as does mail if I sign in. Can't figure out how to correct this. Home page and mail open fine in others.

When I open Firefox my yahoo home page comes up very odd and not usable. If I log into my e-mail it also comes up odd and not usable. (the tools across the top like delete etc don't show up.) If I go to a different browser and pull up yahoo it is fine, if I log on to my mail there it also comes up fine and usable. Please help am new to Firefox and just barley getting to where I can us it really don't want to have to change to yet another browser. Losing all my stuff again. (Microsoft browser program stopped working) Please help, real desperate here. Thank you. Followed the instruction on how to take a screen shot, did so, but don't know how to attach it here. Didn't see instructions regarding that and beyond my limited abilities. Have it if someone needs it and can tell me how to attach or send.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
*On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
*Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Dynamic graphic in Mail forms

Hi All,
I have a mail form which has been created in transaction CRMD_EMAIL. I have been asked to enhance it with a dynamic graphic image.
There will be uploaded 1 image pr customer in transaction SE78.
And for each document I must find the corresponding image.
In normal smartform I can choose between 'Fixed value' and 'Dynamic field value' for graphichs name. And I can see that it works when I create a global variabel eg. 'TESTNAME' and assign it the value '123456'. if I then enter &TESTNAME& as dynamic graphic name, and test print it works fine and prints graphical image 123456.
But in with the mail forms in CRMD_EMAIL, this is not available. If I enter a variable the field disaperes and in test mode i get the error 'Graphic cannot be displayed' - This is identical to the error I get in smartforms if I enter a name that does not exist.
Does anybody knows if this is possible to do in mail forms. Or if I can use the smartforms instead of the Mail forms when working with campaigns.
Best regards
Dennis Lybecker

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for your quick response.
The document was ment to include a technical drawing regarding the specific installation for the customer/prospect.
It looks like we are going to include this drawing in a different document, which should be created in smartform.
If anybody come up with a way to do this - please let us all know.
Best regards
Dennis
