Printing Apple Mail messages: can date headers/footers be printed?

Hi Folks,
When printing an email from Eudora, nice headers & footers are added containing the name of the person printing, as well as the date it was printed, and to whom the printed email was from.
Can headers & footers be added to print jobs from Apple Mail 3.5? I don't see any settings that would enable this functionality.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Doug

Actually, because these folks use a shared printer, it's helpful for a header to say who printed it. Then the clerk can put the printed pages into people's mailboxes.
So yes, this is very useful, and not redundant in the least. Eudora and other email clients have this, and it's a shame that Apple Mail does not.

Printing Apple Mail messages without header

Is there a way to print the body of an Apple Mail message without the header information? I can do a copy paste into Pages and print it from there, but just wondering if there is a faster method. Thanks.

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Until Apple implements the common-sense menu option of View -> Message -> No Headers, you'll have to open Mail's preferences, select the Viewing icon, and set "Show header detail" to "None". Once you've printed the message, you'll probably want to change that setting back to its original value.

Why can't I print just a selection of an Apple Mail message?

I have a MacBook running OS 10.5.8 (with the latest updates). My preferred browser is Firefox 15.0.1. I have always been able to print just a selection of a document, and I can do so in Microsoft Word, Google Mail, everything, it seems except Apple Mail. I have a little HP inkjet printer and a new Brother laser printer (HL-5470DW). I've searched their Help menus and manuals, as well as the Help menu for Mac and have found nothing about printing selections of Apple Mail messages. Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to copy the selection into a different document, like one in Microsoft Word for Mac? Or Google Mail? I prefer not to do that last option. The formatting choices are not the greatest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks BDAqua. It seems so silly that it's so easy in other contexts, but it's good not to keep on trying something futile
Best,

Unable to print e-mail messages from my Mac book pro directly to my HP ink jet printer. Can print from Word, Excel, Safari. E-mail messages only print the date And "sent to" name, the remainder is blank.

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

Can I print a Mail message without multiple recipient names?

Is there a way to print a Mail message without having also to print the dozens of recipients, where that's the case? I can't see an obvious way, but I'm sure I used to be able to do this. I'd be grateful if anyone knows how.

HI,
Go here and download this utility. Print Selection 1.1
"You can select text and graphics in any cocoa application (safari, mail.app, etc.), go to the services menu and go to "Print Selection" and the selected stuff will be printed."

Why I cannot assess deleted Apple mail messages in time machine after installing mountain lion from snow leopard.

Ever since I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, I cannot retrieve my deleted Apple mail messages from Time Machine. I could do it in the past using Snow Leopard. The effective date for the the non-retrival of deleted messages is the date I installed Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Any thoughts?

It was origionally a local folder for things like receipts from the Apple Store, etc
I'm still not sure what you mean . . . is it listed in the "On My Mac" section in Mail's sidebar, like these?
Mountain Lion appears to have given it an icon very much like an Archive box and put the "on My Mac" folder within that "Box" on both the back ups and the new Mail program - in fact it did it 6 times, which was the origional problem.
Can you post a screenshot?
I could restore inbox messages although they came in as a new mail box called Time Machine rather than into their origional mailboxes (there are 7 different addresses)
Yes, that's how Time Machine restores Mail messages, so it doesn't erase the current contents of an existing mailbox. You can then move them into the desired location.

How do I embed YouTube or Vimeo video in an apple mail message

Is there an easy way to embed YouTube or Vimeo video in an apple mail message?
I've tried using command+i (same with share feature) on a YouTube page ... looks great except I get missing plugin error on video.
I'm up to date on Flash plugin, running Safari 6, OS X 10.8. No old Flash files in the internet library.
Any help is appreciated!

There's an HTML validator built in to the editor and it will, by default, throw out all but the simplest HTML tags.
The Apple document, Mac OS X Server, Wiki Server Administration V 10.6 explains all the gruesome details. But here's the solution that I use:
Change to the Wiki Server's directory by using
cd /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/WikiServer
If it doesn't exist, create a file called whitelist.plist:
sudo touch whitelist.plist
The file will be owned by root and all members of the _teamserver group. The latter is required for the Wiki service to have access.
Then edit the file with any appropriate editor -- I like vi:
sudo vi whitelist.plist
The file needs to have very specific formatting. This one should get your YouTube embedded HTML working:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>protocols</key>
<array>
<string>scp</string>

<key>styles</key>

<string>font-size</string>

<key>script</key>
<array>
<string></string>
</array>
<key>hr</key>
<array>
<string></string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
After making changes or additions, save and close the whitelist.plist file then restart the Web service using the Server Admin application.
If you aren't at all familiar with vi, then you may want to instead create a text file on your desktop, put the content into it, then move it to the right location and change its ownership and permissions.
Hope this helps.

I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

Good morning,
I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

Cannot SAVE Apple Mail Messages

Until recently I was able to SAVE Apple Mail messages as rtf files. I can no longer do this. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
Mary

Hi Mary,
That just started happening to me as well. I came to the forums to see if there was an answer. For the time being a temporary solution is to drag the mail from a mailbox to the desktop where it copies it to an .eml file which includes all attachments etc.
I'm on a Mac Pro 10.5.6 and use Mobile Me to sync an iPod Touch, MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro. I'm mentioning that because I wonder if this might be some snafu with Mobile Me?

I am unable to send emails using apple mail, but can still receive

A very odd situation this. I have a couple of POP3 accounts and an Exchange server account. All was going well until a few days ago when all my accounts stopped sending mail, but still continued to receive mail. I have removed each account and restored it but this hasn't worked, the timer is constantly spinning against the 'Sent' header. All these accounts work in their webmail version so I have to conclude the fault is with Apple Mail. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Apple Mail Message List Font in Mavericks

Hi all,
Is there a way to increase the size of the Apple Mail Message List Font in Mavericks when *NOT* in classic mode?
- the parameters seem to have no effect in this mode

Turns out that there is no way to change this unless uing the classic mailbox... We're stuck with the default setup on the new style.

Printing all Mail Messages

Back-up drive is failing, would like to print all 1400 mail messages, Nothing related in search. How does one print the whole inbox at once.

Select all of the message and choose File > Print. Mail will appear like it will only print one of the message, when in fact it will print all of them.

In Apple Mail I can no longer paste items where I need them.

In 10.9.5, all of a sudden in Apple Mail I can no longer paste items where I need them. Everything goes to the bottom of the mail being composed. What's happening?

if it's an appletv 1g then you should go to settings on your appletv and remove the bind with the computer
and then set it up again
if it's the small black appletv then you don't pair them from itunes you only use it as airplay speaker and the atv access the itunes shared lib

Apple Mail: How can I automatically set a signature, depending on the sender (have several for one account), NOT on the account?
I have some comma-separated senders in my Apple Mail accounts, some for business, some for private (using the same account). When I'm sending a business mail, I would like to append my business signature, when I send a private one, either nothing, or a fun signature.
