Picture to right of outgoing mail header

I can't be the only one to have somehow set up Mail to send a picture on my outgoing mail (it appears to the right of the header), and not been able to remove it or turn it off. Can somebody help me remove this annoyance with out destroying the rest of my Mail setup?

is it the same picture as you have in your login window? Do you have a "Me" card in AddressBook? Try eliminating your "Me" card (at least temporarily for verification purposes) if you don't want to look at it. If your concern is whether or not the picture is not transmitted with your message, it isn't. If you had pictures of people in your address book, when you received an email from them, you would see those pictures. But they are not sending them to you, just like you are not sending your picture out.
As a test, if you temporarily removed your "Me" card from the address book and sent yourself a message, you would see that it isn't in your sent mail, it isn't in your received mail. Then if you sent another "pictureless" one out, and then after that, you reinstalled your "Me" vcf card in Address Book and selected a picture for that card, , then downloaded new mail, your picture is back. But you didn't send it out. Try it.

  • Outgoing mail with unwanted indelible picture

    hi,
    My MAIL program has a mind of it's own: each outgoing e-mail is sent out with a picture automatically pasted on; I tried several ways to undo it, but to no avail.
    Could someone let me me know:
    1) how to choose whether or not do I want a picture to be pasted on the outgoing mail
    and, even more important,
    2) at least to give me the choice of the picture to be pasted
    Right now the indelible picture that is invariably sent out with each and every mail is one of his own choice from photo-booth. I even deleted all the pictures I had residing on photo-booth, which is now empty, but the outgoing mail still paste THAT picture that was previously on photo-booth, on all outgoing mail.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Welcome to the discussions, piera.
    Are you sure the picture is actually being sent? If I look in my mailboxes at mail I have received, mail will look for the sender in the addrress book, and if it finds an associated picture it will put that picture on the right end of the header portion of the message. The picture does not come with, and is not part of, the mail message.
    Likewise if I look in my Sent mailbox mail will add my login picture to the header bar - but the picture has not been sent with the outgoing message. If you don't like the picture you can change it System Preferences/Accounts. I don't think you can have no picture, but you could make a picture of a blank space and use that.

  • Help! My outgoing mail has the image of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I did not put it there; it is fun but not exactly professional!  How do I get rid of it?

    Please help!  My outgoing mail messages arrive with an icon of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I have no idea how it got there.  This is cute but not really professional. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?  Thanks!

    It's been almost three years since I bought and set up my most recent Mac but if I recall correctly .....
    When you initially set up your Mac, you were offered the opportunity to snap a photo of yourself in order to associate your photo with your user account on the computer. If you declined the photo I think the Mac will pick or suggest a picture from the preinstalled selections in the accounts pane of the system preferences. You can change the picture but you cannot delete it totally. That picture is part of your ID for that user account on the Mac.
    If you want to change it, Open System Preferences and click on accounts. Click on your account to change the picture. You will have to unlock the preference in the bottom left corner - and to do that - you need to enter your password. Click on the picture of the Eagle and then all of the preinstalled photo choices pop up in another window. Select another photo and then clcik the lock icon again when you are done.

    You say you have the pse 5 disk?
    I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
    Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
    Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
    You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

  • HT1277 How do you change the "picture" on your e-mail header?

    How do you change the little picture that is on your e-mail header? Pretty basic, but I have no idea.

    You can change this in your listing in AddressBook.
    Bear in mind that the only person who ever sees it is you - it does not transfer to actual email messages.

  • The picture ID on my outgoing Mac mail  is not mine -- it's the photo of boyfriend of my mother in law is appearing as my ID photo.  I have no link or connection with anybody  or other accounts whatsoever, and I don't have ANY third-party networks myself.

    Nobody but you sees that photo, it does not appear on outgoing emails.
    To remove the picture rather than change it, open Address Book and select your personal card, then from the menubar select Card > Clear Custom Image. Now the system will use Apple’s generic user picture in the login window and System Preferences’ Accounts pane. Mail and Address Book will remain blank until you designate a new picture in Address Book or System Preferences > Accounts.

  • My account picture in outgoing mail

    This is a dumb question
    but I don't know how to get rid of my account picture from my outgoing mail.
    I have no idea how it got there in the first place.
    It is in all my outgoing mail. Can someone please tell me how to remove it from my outgoing mail .
    Thank you

    Hi Teresita,
    Assuming you have a .Mac account,
    try online, your .Mac,
    Account Settings > Mail Preferences > Composing
    there should be an option to "use a custom photo", that you can uncheck.
    Another place you can investigate:
    On your computer, in Address Book, edit your own profile, the one with the black silhouette.
    If there is a picture of you, take it off,
    Mail then after a logout-login should not be able anymore to find any picture of you.

  • How can I remove the picture in my e-mail header?

    How can I remove the picture in my e-mail header?

    Just in case you were not sure, your user account picture is only showing in your header. Only you see it - it's not been sent to the recipients when you send email.

  • My picture in outgoing mails

    When I sent an e-mail there is a small picture in the mail which the receiver will see. How do I change this picture? At this point it is an illustration that I have chosen when I installed my new computer but I wish to change it to a picture of myself!

    If I understand you correctly, that picture is not one that is actually attached to the e-mail, so nobody else sees it. It is the picture associated with your e-mail address in the Address Book, so Mail displays the picture when it shows the message.
    If you want to change this picture, you can do it by double-clicking the square with the picture in it on your card in the Address Book.

  • Stripping out mail header photo

    Hi Folks,
    I assume others have run into this problem: MSN Windows Live Hotmail rejects your email, apparently because it considers the little account id photo that Mail inserts on the right side of the mail header as some kind of deadly Trojan Horse vector. Does any bright spark out there know how to strip out that photo in Mail (3.6)? I was hoping to get lucky with "Make Plain Text", but no joy. I've looked through every menu I could find and see no place to change that setting. Thanks in advance!

    That little picture isn't sent out with any of your outgoing mail; not in the header, not as an attachment, not by any other method. Apple's mail program just displays it there when you read the messages in your Sent box; it never leaves your computer. So the problem you are having with Hotmail must be because of something else.
    You might want to start a new thread here with a more detailed description of what the problem is. Put "Windows Live Hotmail" in the subject line , so users with experience and knowledge about that will be more likely to see it and give you a helpful response.

  • Lipstick imprint in outgoing mail

  • Outgoing mail???

    I am having trouble sending mail from my iPhone 3G. I use .Mac (Mobile Me, but the update still hasn't come out for us here in Japan) and my computer configured my mail for me. The problem is that my home computer has to use a SMTP server that is specified by my provider. It doesn't know the .Mac settings and it told my iPhone those settings for my provider.
    Simple, I thought... I'll just add the .Mac server info, right?
    However, my iPhone doesn't seem to remember that I added a new server and I still can't send mail from 3G... Any ideas?

    Hey There JackDzik,
    If I'm understanding your question, you want to know how to add the "From" field in the header of your email messages, is that right?  The resource below will explain how to do this.
    Mail (Yosemite): Address an email message
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19137?locale=en_US
    Set the From or Reply To address
    If you use several email accounts in Mail, your messages are sent from the account of the currently selected mailbox. However, you can change which account is used to send messages. You can also specify an address where you want to receive replies to your message.
    Change the account for the current message: Move the pointer over the From field, click the pop-up menu that appears, then choose an email address. If you set up email aliases, those are also shown. For some accounts, you can choose or change the outgoing mail server.
    Use the same account for all messages: Choose Mail > Preferences, click Composing, click the “Send new messages from” pop-up menu, then choose an email account.
    Set a Reply To address: Click the Header Fields button  in the toolbar of the message window, choose Reply-To Address Field, then enter the address where you want to receive replies to your message.
    Jack, if I'm misunderstanding your question, please reply and I'll do my best to help.

  • Outgoing mail in sent folder never sends, consumes bandwidth, heats up device.

    I just filed a defect, the text of which I have copied below in part. I'm wondering though if anyone else has seen this, and if they have has it occured to them repeatedly? I'm wondering if I need to really keep an eye on my mail problem to make sure I don't keep incuring charges from AT&T and risk setting my phone on fire
    Summary: Outgoing mail in sent folder never sends, consumes bandwidth, heats up device.
    Symptom: Device heats up to an almost unbearable temperature. Meanwhile in 18 hours the phone chews up over 2 gigbytes of cellular data, even though the phone sat next to a wireless G router, which it stayed connected to, and the connection remained good. I won't claim they are related, only that they occured at the same time.
    Point of interest, putting the phone in "Airplane Mode" cooled the device down immediately. Restarting the device helped, unless the email app was opened up after restarting. Same thing with killing the app, cooled down until the email client was opened again. I figured this out over the course of 18 hours.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    I have not tried to reproduce this issue yet, but here are the actions I took prior to getting into the bad state.
    Pre-conditions of the phone: I was connected to a good wifi signal. I had good 3G service. Phone was not experiencing any problems.
    1. Took a picture with the camera. Sent picture via email (using iphone client through gmail server).
    2. Did step 1 again with a different picture.
    3. Took a 43 second movie, which was about 50mb. Attempted to send movie via email same as the pictures.
    Expected Results:
    The movie would have sent after a reasonable amount of time.
    Actual Results:
    According to AT&T, 196,265 KB of data was sent in the hour following my attempt to email the movie.
    After restarting the phone, I must have killed its attempts at sending, at least via 3G. However I checked my email via my phone again right before bed. I woke up the next morning to find my phone had become extremely hot yet again. AT&T claims I used 1,890,652 KB (not a typo) that night while I slept.
    I restarted my phone the next morning and that "fixed" it again. Until around noon I finally figured out that it was my opening the email client that was triggering the heat. At this point I noticed that the email with the attached movie was still "Sending". I could not kill or delete the email, killing the app and restarting the phone did not stop or fix it. I had to put the phone in Airplane mode, which caused the email client to give me a proper error, and then I was able to delete the email. I have had no over heating issues since.
    Regression:
    Getting charged an extra $20 in data usage by AT&T.
    Notes:
    As stated, I have not tried to reproduce this yet. I am slightly fearful that I will accidentally incur another $20 worth of data usage unknowingly. My phone has never been jailbroken or in other ways modified, and has experienced no other issues or trauma recently. I've owned the phone for 2 years and it was bought brand new.

    In my opinion there is only one way to get this issue fixed -> contact Apple:

  • OUTGOING MAIL POLICIES USING CRES BUT ALSO TO BE PROCESSED BY DLP POLICY

    We have a outgoing policy in place which in turn have domains applied, a content filter and DLP policies.  The content filter states that if it receives cres header it will deliver without analysing and avoid DLP policies and send. 
    How can I config this so even if cres is used it will continue processing and follow DLP policies and send out accordingly.  I have tried "encrypt on delivery" i do receive the cres request but the dlp policy email bcc destination receives nothing at all.
    When i send the same email without cres header the destination email receives and so does dlp policy email destination.

    Yes the order matters.  It matches top to bottom, once you have a match, that's the policy that applies... 
    The HELP that is on the box is actually pretty complete, and includes examples of policy matching... Just go to the Outgoing Mail Policies page, and click "Help and Support" in the upper right...

  • Can't get rid of account icon photo in mail header area

    How can I get rid of the thumbnail photo icon in the mail header area when I send an e-mail in Mail?
    It is one of the supplied icons that is in system preferences for "accounts", to distinguish my account from my wife's on our iMac G5 (10.4.10). I recently only selected this icon....the boxer dog....but there was nothing in that area before when I used the generic sillohuete as my account log-in identifier.
    Basically, I don't want to be sending e-mails with a dog's photo....as much as I like dogs.
    I have read how to ADD a custom photo in .Mac preferences/profile but, I didn't see how to get rid of one and I did not consciously choose to add the photo that is there now.....it just appeared after I changed it in System Preferences/Accounts. I understand that it might appear in iChat, but, I am not/wasn't using iChat.

    Those photos don't actually get sent. They are a "feature" of Mail. You probably have a "Me" card in your address book? Get rid of the picture there, and it should get rid of the picture in the header region of your emails as displayed in Mail.app. But, like I said, those don't actually get sent, anyways. Got Windoze at work? Send an email to yourself at your work email address -- you'll see -- no boxer dog. But, please pay a visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and let them know what you think of this feature.
