OT - Attack of the As? Mail is showing As instead of E-mail content?

Hi all:
In the past few days, most of the e-mails I am receiving are showing up as full of little As, some inside boxes, some just lines of As. It seems that they are mostly showing up instead of signatures, graphics, etc. Very strange. I use Mail and I can send and receive my own e-mails with graphics attached and they show up fine. I mailed myself an e-mail with a graphic attached to test it and the result was perfect.
Tried deleting Mail prefs (com.apple.mail.plist) but unfortunately that is where Apple also keeps your mailboxes so I couldn't delete the .plist.
Has anyone experienced this weirdness and if so, how did you fix it? It is really obnoxious not being able to see half of the content of your e-mails. Some logos show up but most seem to be getting turned into As as well as a lot of content. This just started a few days ago, I have not updated software or anything new lately since this began.
Anyone have any advice on how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Dan Brockett

It sounds as though you have corrupted fonts.
What I would suggest is a safe boot, pram reset and a general repair of permissions.
Not necessarily in that order. Try changing the font that mail uses in mail preferences. You should be able to identify which font is causing the problem.

    Srinivas,
    1) Is the problem only with the message being sent through custom code using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1? What happens if you send a message using SAPOffice?
    2) Are the patch levels of the GUI same on both machines? Are you sure both PCs are configured exactly the same? Especially wrt to Windows & IE patches. I vaguely remember there were some issues a while ago with some IE patches. Normally in most client environments the desktops upgrades are controlled centrally and users do not have admin rights. Make sure the user has not done upgrades/installs on the PC in question. If that were the case the PC may needs to be reimaged.
    BTW - What version  are you on R/3 and SAPGUI?

  • Business Workplace Inbox : Mail Content Not Displayed

    Friends,
    We have a problem in displaying contents of the mail(SAP Inbox) in one of the PC's. When we reply w/refernce to that message the content is displayed properly. And also the same mail content is displayed properly in another PC's for the same user.
    We thought this is a GUI problem and re-installed SAP GUI(all components) but still the issue exists.
    Any other settings are required to be done to solve this problem? Can anyone please help us solving the issue?
    Note: we are using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 for creating the mail notification and the content is passed as 'RAW'.
    Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
    Cheers,
    MS

  • How to make "Mail Contents os this page" in safari 7?

    Hi everybody,
    I need for my daily work to make once or twice a day an upload of an mailing PNG picture. Bevor the upgrade to Maverick Safari 7 I used the safari version 5.1.10 which works great to make "Mail contents of this page" (File Menu > Mail Contents of this file). Now in the Safari 7 version this option is not anymore available and it is change to SHARE "Email this page". This is not the some and it does not match the legal proposing.
    I appreciate as answer for a good solution or which steps shoud I do to get this option again.
    Thx a lot

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconvenience. I follow your instruction but it is still not working.
    I tried to use now another Mac which I have here, with Mac system 10.6.8, where I use the safari version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) and it works perfect.
    Here are the screenShots:
    The screenshot from the older computer: here you see the option Mail contents of this page.
    Using that older Mac we have the perfect result, where you see the legal text + images, which i sent to me in bcc.
    The result from my Mac with Maverick and after following the instruction:
    You see the full legal text but no the image!
    Maybe this is just a minor bug in Safari, to exploring yet and to improve. For the meantime I have to use the older Mac only for this part of the job. Not A PERFECT DAY (lou reed, RIP) but not the end of the world!
    Thanks for you help and I´m looking forward to get news on this issue from you.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

    Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

  • The e mail address in my I tunes setting is different but when I update my apps a different e mail address come . How can I delete the e mail address which shows for updating apps

    The e mail address which is in the setting of my I tune store does not show up when I install apps or update them it shows a different email address how can I delete the e mail which shows up while updating apps &amp; switch to the one already in my settings

    All apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    This means the apps that need an update were downloaded with the Apple ID you are being prompted for.

  • Why does mail sent using the MacOSX mail client not show up in my sent folder when I access my Gmail account in a browser?

    I've recently started using my first Mac, and I hooked my work email (Forwarded to Google Mail) and my personal email (Gmail) into the MacOSX mail client. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until I noticed that sent mail from my work email through the MacOSX Mail client is not showing up in my sent box on any other clients. Sent mail does show up in my personal email in Gmail, though.
    Can anyone help me understand why mail sent from the MacOSX Mail client doesn't end up in the sent folder of my work Gmail account? I suspect it has something to do with the forwarding-to-Google process -- a sort of "too many cooks in the kitchen" situation. Has anyone heard of this problem before? What should I try?

    I've been noticing that too.  Just told me there were 6 outgoing messages, even though I did not create any new messages.
    One hypothesis is that it's generating those messages when a rule moves an email from one folder to another.
    Can someone at Apple confirm this?

    And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
    Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.

  • When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open.  How can I change this?

    When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open.  How can I change this?

    It should be an attachment.  Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message.  A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
    You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

  • How do I just get the Inbox messages to show in the new mail notification?

    I've setup Thunderbird with Gmail and it works like a charm. The only gripe I have is that the new mail notification seems to grab a selection of unread emails from different folders and often it's not showing the relevant new emails in my inbox. Esp. the All Mail folder seems to cause doubling of message notifications but it's not the only one .
    All I'm interested in is my inbox for new mail notifications. Is there anyway to modify the current behaviour?

    That's not true. If you archive an email from your inbox without labelling it it will simply remove the inbox label and then the only way to get to it is through All Mail.
    Note that All Mail is not only folder that has this issue. If you auto-label a message with 2 or more labels the exact same problem occurs.
