Preventing images from displaying in email messages

New to Mac. Not a month yet. In the process of getting set up on my machine somewhere back there it took a picture of me and put it in my entry in the Addressbook. Now when I send mail my address includes the picture.
I don't want the picture. I've tried to delete it from the Addressbook without success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

no it doesn't. that picture is for local display only. it's not sent with your emails. You can edit/change the picture in your address book entry or in system preferences->accounts.

How do I prevent attachments from embedding into email messages in Lion on an Exchange Server?

I work in an Exchange Server environment, one of only two Macs in a building filled with Windows machines. When I was using Snow Leopard, I had to send attachments to my fellow workers using the same mail server via plain text messages, so that the attachments could be saved to their hard drives as separate files. If I tried to send attachments through html messages, they wouild automatically be embedded in such a way as to inhibit them from being saved to their hard drives.
Not the best solution, but it worked, unitl now.
Now that I've upgraded to Lion, the plain text work-around no longer works. As was explained to me by an IS person with more knowledge than I, that for some reason, Lion is automatically encoding attachments sent through the same mail server to users on the same Echange network as an embedded image, which can't be easily clicked on and saved as an individual file to some destination on a given computer.
I sent an attachment with Lion's mail to a PC user outside my company, and no problem. He is using Windows 7 and checked his mail remotely. In my company most people are using XP. The IS guy told me that for now, I will have to compress "zip" all of my attachments before sending until Apple solves this problem with Exchange server software.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, any other solutions? Will Apple address this problem?
Thanks,
Carl

I have heard of this situation before, but, like most Apple Mail problems, it is a problem on the recipient's side. There should be no reason that a recipient can't save an inline image from an e-mail message. For years, Apple has bent over backwards to construct messages that PC clients will be able to view. Obviously there are limits as to what they will do.
If you want to follow the standard procedure and hack up your e-mail for the benefit of others who refuse to upgrade, you can try Attachment Tamer. You could also try Microsoft Outlook. This won't change the underlying problem. It will just make it Microsoft's problem to deal with.

How to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not

Good morning guys
is there a way to prevent mail app on OS X & iOS from automatically marking email messages as read just when they are selected either intentionally or not
thanks

On OS X, You are able to hide the preview window on the right in normal mode, or on the lower side in classic mode, by simply putting your cursor on the thin bar which is in between, and then make it as small as possible, so it goes away.
Then your messages won't be automatically read when clicked once, but only if you click them twice and a new window with the message opens.
Also, you are able to mark them as unread again, which is a silly workaround, but possible.
You can do that by right clicking and select 'Mark as...' -> unread.
On iOS, I'm not sure..

Unless I repair my hard drive every other day I am unable to delete songs from iTunes or email messages from Postbox. I've only had an iMac for a few weeks, is this normal?

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR..; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_; chmod -R -N ~ $_; } 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if it frightens you, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password dialog will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
In the dialog, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if it's not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if it's not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How can i prevent mail from downloading the same messages over and over again?

is there any way to prevent Mail from downloading the same messages over and over again? Mail has a minimum of "50 recent messages" to download, but i hate having to delete them every time i check for new mail! why doesn't the program remember if you have already downloaded a message, and suppress any subsequent downloads???

Same issue since Mavericks.

How do i prevent mozilla from displaying "authentification required" for every page? I am running windows xp on a windows server 2003 network

it only happens once when I use the browser for the first time after logging in with the administrator account

HT5858 I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages. So, in trying to revert to the default settings on my iPad I went into "Settings" and reset everything. Now, I have a black screen with a white apple and a white line! What do

For the last severl weeks I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages. Thinking that I may have gone into "Settings" and set something wrong, I decided to reset to the default settings. So, in "Settings" I chose reset everything. Now, when I turn my iPad on all I get is a black screen with the picture of a white apple and a white line below it. Nothing else works. What can I do? Do I need to send this back to Apple to be restored?

You will hopefully be able to restore it yourself. It sounds like you erased all constant and settings rather than resetting all settings. But I'm basing my theory on the fact that you are seeing the Apple logo with the white progress bar (the white line) on the screen. That's what you would see if the software was being reinstalled and then it stopped on you. If that is what happened, you need to restore again and most likely need to use recovery mode.
You can read about recovery mode here.
Recovery mode - Apple
However ...... If you are seeing the white line when you turn the iPad, let it go for twenty minutes or so, before you try restoring again. There is possibility that the software is still be installed and it can take a while before you see that white line move at all indicating that progress is being made.
Frankly, I don't think that the software is still being installed, but since you didn't say specifically how long the iPad has been like this, it could just be that the software hasn't finished installing yet. If you know better - meaning that it's been like this for hours or longer, then you do need to restore the device.

How to prevent images from loading?

I am working on creating a web gallery in Dreamweaver CS3. The thumbnails are in a horizontal strip within a layer above the full sized image layer, in other words the strip is hiding part of the image, but only when the image is in a vertical orientation. (the strip has no background, so all that is visible are the actual thumbnails) Upon clicking show/hide text , in a toggle configuration, the strip fades, or shows. On my computer it works perfectly. However, once uploaded, it takes forever to load the images.
The problem: Although I have the thumbnail images are set to preload, all of the full size images are loading as well, which takes alot of time. Is there a way to prevent the full sized images from loading, i.e. only when the thumbnail is clicked?
Frames, in which one frame is thumbnails, and another the is images, is what I normally would use, and have a page for each image. However, for what I have in mind, it will not work (transparency on parts of one frame above another is as far as I can tell not possible).
So how do I prevent images from loading until called for? regards~bill-o

t would help if you posted a link to the page, but I can guess that you have properly diagnosed the cause - the page is encumbered with the weight of all of the full-sized images.
The only way to not have this happen would be to dynamically write the link to the full sized-images on demand, as it were. In other words, the link ISN'T EVEN ON THE PAGE until you have clicked on the corresponding thumbnail, and only at that point is the weight of that image experienced. One easy way to do this is to use the SetText of Container behavior that is part of DW's native arsenal of behaviors. When the thumb is clicked, the SetText behavior is called to write the image link into the enlarged image's container. Need to see a demo? Look here -
http://dreamweaverresources.com/tutorials/settextoflayer.htm
The behavior is called "Set Text of Container", and using it will meet all of your requirements.
To use it, you will have to have the following:
1. A page with a 'container' which is to receive the enlarged image - this could be a table cell, a paragraph tag, a div, or even a span tag.
2. That container will have to be identified with an ID attribute and a valid value, e.g., <div id="enlargedImage">.
3. A dummy page containing each enlarged image, placed sequentially on the page.
To implement the effect, do the following:
1. Open the dummy page in Code view, and select the first image's tag, e.g., <img src="images/foo.jpg" width="123" height="256" alt="whatever" /> (XHTML syntax shown here).
2. Switch to the actual page, select a thumb that will 'open' this enlarged image, and enter "javascript:;" (that's colon semicolon) in the 'Link' field of the Property inspector to make this thumbnail image a null link.
3. Apply the Set Text of Container behavior.
4. Paste the clipboard into the dialog for the behavior, and click OK to close the dialog.
5. Examine the Behavior panel to see which mouse event has been defaulted - probably 'onclick'. If you would rather have this be 'onmouseover' use the Behavior panel Event selector (the dark triangle to the right of the event name) to select 'onmouseover'.
5. Repeat from #1 above until all thumbs have been treated.
Let us know if this does not make sense

How to attach image files to an email message?

I use Mac Mail. When I attach an image file to an email message, the recipient gets it embedded in the message and not as a separate attachment. I'm assuming that the recipient uses a Windows computer, and I always send Windows-friendly attachments. What do I have to do to ensure that attachments are not embedded in an email message?
Thanks.

Prevent iViews from displaying their own scrollbars

Hi,
does anybody know how to allow vertical scrolling in pages exclusively by using the browser's vertical scrollbar (e.g. as it is realized in the SDN portal) respectively how to prevent iViews from displaying their own scrollbars?
Regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
to turn off scrolling has certainly something to do with setting the height and height-type of an iView. But as discussed in this thread Automatic Height of iView/Page & Footer in Framework page
there is probably a bug in the EP. I have tried some combinations and had no luck either. In the forum thread is some javascript proposed. I haven't had time to check it out. But maybe it is some help to your problem.
regards,
Ulli

URL's displayed in email messages

Is there a setting to hide url addresses in email messages so they aren't displayed as the long html version? It is very cumbersome to read emails with links in them when the url for the link is displayed.
Thanks

Hey pjd22,
You may want to try and enable HTML email as shown here http://bbry.lv/9sQbKt, it may make reading the emails a bit easier as there is no setting to remove URL's from emails.

How to prevent users from saving and emailing intranet documents externally

Someone in our company needs to upload a pdf to our sharepoint intranet site for internal-only use. How can I prevent users from downloading it and emailing it externally?
I mean, a user could screenshot it I guess, but I need to give management a due diligence answer.

You would need to look into a reverse proxy/firewall that had the ability to block access based on content. This isn't something you can accomplish out of the box with SharePoint (even with AD RMS).

Iphone won't display entire email message, only preview?

Sprint iphone 4Gs will display only preview of email message. When I tap on the preview, it won't display the entire email message, only the preview. Previously worked fine, only recently started doing this.

I recently had a problem with messages too. Try hooking up to itunes and hitting the restore button. You will have to back up your settings again, but it worked to solve my problem. Hope that helps.

SSRS MHTML Report showing chart image from a previous email

Hi there,
I am having an issue with SSRS reports subscription emails. I am sending a report as MHTML with some charts, which are end up as images within the email body. The issue is that outlook is inconsistent with what it is deciding to show as the image.
At times it will show an image from a previous days email, effectively delivering the wrong information. It is obviously using some caching. I have read others having similar issues with iPhone/safari, but have yet to see this issue with
Outlook. I am wondering if there is a way to control the naming of the images to force the mail client to render the intended image. There is huge risk in delivering the wrong information. Or alternatively, if there is a way to modify the
MHTML output after the subscription runs to add some meta information, if that would even work.

Hi Jamie,
According to your description, there are charts in the report, you configured subscription for the report and render format is MHTML. The problem you are facing is that sometimes the information of subscription comes from previous days.
To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
By default, the Subject of subscription includes following variables: @ReportName, @ExecutionTime. Please validate that the @ExecutionTime in email body is the same with schedule of the subscription, and make sure that the report is delivered correctly.
Please login web-based email and validate that the information of delivered report is correct. If the information of web-based email is not the same as outlook, then the problem may be cause by using caching in outlook. If that is the case, we can resolve
the problem by disabling Cached Exchange Mode. Please refer to the link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179175(v=office.15).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
