Question marks at end of each line in messages sent with 10.4.6 mail

Some Outlook users are finding ?s at the end of each line in my emails sent from 10.4.6. I did not have this problem in 10.3.9. The problem appears to be resolved when I choose UTF-8 message encoding. There appears to be no way to make Mail automatically choose UTF-8, and I am reluctant to enter Terminal to direct Mail to do so as suggested in one discussion. So 3 questions: 1. how do I get Mail to choose UTF-8 automatically? 2. why hasn't Apple fixed this? 3. how friendly is UTF-8 to non-Outlook users? I don't want to make a change in Terminal so that all email goes UTF-8 and then find out that this messes something else up. Help?

So 3 questions: 1. how do I get Mail to choose UTF-8
automatically?
See this note. Perhaps you would be more comfortable with the "dingbat" fix.

2. why hasn't Apple fixed this?
I don't know. Perhaps they are tired of adjusting their stuff to conform to bugs in MS products.
3. how
friendly is UTF-8 to non-Outlook users?
All modern mail clients can read it fine, but webmail is unpredictable. Best thing is perhaps to try it and see if you get any complaints.

  • When I write in hebrew from right to left the periods/quotation marks/question marks at end of sentences jump to the beginning of the sentence. help

    I cannot seem to format a message correctly when I write in hebrew from right to left
    even if I press left margin and the message starts from the left side, all question marks, and end of sentences (periods, etc) jump to the front of the sentence and quotation marks or separation marks (such as dashes) split up the lines and jump words to the front of the sentence.
    how can I change the formatting to solve this so the recipient receives a properly formatted email?

  • Text in the textfield  has "=" symbols at end of each line. how to remove ?

    For certain cases, if one does cut & paste (multiple lines of text ) into the text area from email, the symbol ("=") appears at end of each line. I was told to handle such cases and remove the "=" at end of each line from the text area. If I replace "=" with space, It would replace every single appearance of "=" with space instead of just only at the end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    -thanks

    Hi
    Try to find out new line character.And if position of thses "=" is specific to new line char. you search it out from there and then can replace with any char or space.
    Hope this will work .

  • Adding a pipe character '|' at the end of each line

    How can I add a '|' at the end of each line in a text file?
    Please provide an example.
    TIA

    Using Readers and Writers are often a better choice for text: they are designed for character-based I/O, handling different character set encodings and thus more easily localizable.
    BufferedReader and PrintWriter are buffered which in many cases will increase performance.
    These classes also provide line-oriented methods, readLine() and println(), which will handle end-of-line delimiters in a platform-independant way.
    BufferedReader in = null ;
    PrintWriter out = null ;
    try {
        in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("infile.txt")) ;
        out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("outfile.txt")) ;
        String line ;
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
            out.print(line) ;
            out.println('|') ;
        out.flush() ;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        System.err.println("problem opening file for read: "+e) ;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.err.println("problem reading file: "+e) ;
    } finally {
        try {
            if (out != null) out.close() ;

  • Reg. Special Character at end of each line

    Hello Experts,
    I have an internal table of type string which has to be uploaded into the directories
    Each line has to be ended with a comma and for which I concatenated the work area and ',' before appending to the internal table.  This is fine till this point.
    After downloading the file from the directory, when opened with a notepad, i could see a special character (LINE FEED rectangular box) at the end of each line. 
    I couldn't understand why this character got appended at the end of each record.  Pl suggest me on how i can overcome this special character.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am developing one HRMS report for sending salaries to bank. Bank has given one format, there should be 24 spaces at the end of each line in the report. But I am not getting any spaces in the report at the end of line. I have tried soo many ways to get that, but I unable to get spaces. If I put any character it is coming, but if I put space that is not coming. For the line that is set the height of the Repeating Frame long enough to have the blank space. Vertical Elasticity should be expand.
    Also you can try by setting the property *"Vert. Space between frames"* for the Repeating frame.
    Hope this helps.

  • Method GUI_DOWNLOAD not creating CRLF at end-of-each-line of output

    Hello SDN Community,  has anyone experienced CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=> GUI_DOWNLOAD not putting the CRLF at end of exported lines?  This can be seen when you view the output file in notepad (the file contents wrap) or an editor with hex view enabled  (0A0D).
    I have tried running an ABAP that runs this method and on some people's laptop's the file wraps and on others the file is formatted (as would be expected) as per the CRLF's. 
    My understanding is that the GUI_DOWNLOAD method should provide the CRLF's.   And on my laptop (running Vista and SAP ECC 6.0 back-end) it wraps the output because there are no CRLF's in the file.
    Your experiences would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Dean Atteberry.

    Thank you, Alejandro, for your comments.  I am using two systems - on one it works and on the other it does not.
    The one that works is an SAP ECC 6.0 where the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class has a Last Change date of 03.07.2006.
    The one do not work is SAP ECC 6.0 where the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class has a Last Change date of 07/08/2009.
    If I look at the code in GET_PLATFORM, it is verry different between the two systems.
    On the one that works, it executes following code and platformID has value of '5'.  This later used to assign the correct value for CRLF variable which is used to concatenate to end of records  (value is '0A0D').
    ELSE.
    *     SAP GUI for Windows

            IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
              RAISE CNTL_ERROR.
            ENDIF.
    On the one that does not work, it executes following code.  In the debugger, when control comes back from CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH call, I can see the PLATFORMID variable change to '15'.  This is moved to M_PLATFORM and ultimately is used later in a case statement to assign the appropriate value to CRLF variable. 
    HOWEVER, THERE IS NO "WHEN 15" statement in the CASE statement - IT ONLY GOES UP TO '14'.   Because of this, no value is assigned to the CRLF variable and when subsequently this variable is concatenated to the output line, there is no CRLF (0A0D) at the end of the line.  Because the CRLF variable is blank.  [see coding snippets at end-of-note]
    Is there an better place than General ABAP forum to discuss this?  Possibly this item might benefit from the attention of SAP developers?
    Following are code snippets illustrating findings from debugging...
    This shows the FLUSH statement that causes '15' to appear in the PLATFORMID variable.

  • My Macbookpro will not start up.  At first it was showing a gray screen with a flashing folder and question mark.  I went through the steps to repair with disc utility and this did not work.  How do I back up my data, without time machine activated?

    I need to back up my files and date before erasing my drive, but my time machine backup is not coming up.  How do I access my hard drive to back up my files?

    A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
    Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
    Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
    When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
    Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
    You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
    (If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

    When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into big grey boxes with an 'x' through them and a question mark in the middle in their new destination.  When I go look at the master slides, I see that there are now two sets of masters, one for the my custom theme and a new one just like it, but with no images.

    To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:

    use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
    You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
    edit:  It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms.  At least it sounds like a good reason...
