Read signature as plain text

Hi,
when reading the (default) signature of a mailbox, the result comes as
HTML text. But I need the signature as plain text only. Is there a way to
read it in plain text directly or to have it converted from html to plain
text?
Thanks in advance,
Frank

I've used gwAccount.Signatures.GetDefault.Body, which is a byte-array in
fact.
In my case it looks like a a multi-part MIME message, one of the parts
being of content type "text/html". Within this part I can see the
signature text in HTML format.
I could now try to find some code to transfer HTML to plain text, but on
the other hand Groupwise is doing this for a signature anyway, therefor
it would be straight forward to have Groupwise doing the work.

When reading the Rich Text present in Excel column using open XML its taking it as plain text

Hello All,
When i am reading excel columns using open Xml in C# everything is working fine except the column that
contain Rich Text (ex: bold, italic,color,size). Its reading the Rich Text content as plain text. As we know for Rich Text in open XML we get the text as Runs (C#
object) which contains the text as value and rpr as run properties. I have also written the code to convert Runs to html. But the issue is that for some Rich Text format its reading it as Runs but most of the Rich Text its reading it as plain text.
The issue i am getting is, for some rich text its creating RUN and for some of the rich text its not creatingRUN.
Let me give the example for more understanding:
Suppose i have two cells in excel which contains the below text.
1. Rich Text
1
2. RichText
2
Now when i read these cells using the below code
var stringTable =spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartsOfType<SharedStringTablePart>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringTable.SharedStringTable.ElementAt(index1).ChildElements.GetItem(0).GetType().Name == "Run")
Custom code to convert Rich text to HTML...
else
Read the plain text...
Though both the cell contains rich text, one is going in RUN block and one is going in Plain text bloc.
Also, one thing that i have noticed is when i use standard color for text its consider it as RUNS and when i use color apart from the standard color it does not consider it as RUNS. Same behavior occurs for different combination of text viz. bold, italic, underline
etc

Plain text signature not wrapping in Apple Mail 8

Hello all,
I just upgraded to Yosemite and am experiencing a problem with Mail 8. I have a text based signature that I used on my business email. I created it in text edit, converted to plain text and then pasted into the Signatures pane. I have the option selected of: "Always match my default message font".
When creating a new message, or responding to a message, the signature content is not wrapping, causing the window to be about 6 times wider than my screen width. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks,

UPDATE: Deleting and recreating the signature solved the problem.

KNOWN ISSUE: HTML Messages with plain-text signatures

To get around the EAS security policy issue, I'm having non-sensitive emails from work forwarded to a GMail account from a redirect set up in our corporate OWA. The redirect seems to send the messages to GMail without any issues; formatting is 100% intact, and in the GMail web client as well as Thunderbird, Entourage, etc., HTML emails with plain-text signature attachments show the plain-text message inline with the rest of the formatted message. All of our internal mailing lists have these plain text attachments that say where the message was coming from (Message sent from [email protected] by listserv). These get affixed to every message, both plain text and HTML.
Here's my problem: The Pre's email client handles both plain text and HTML messages beautifully. But, when I receive a message from a mailing list with a plain text attachment, the HTML portion disappears, and all I see is the signature.
Is there any way to make the Pre show the HTML INSTEAD of the plain text? I can live without the sig, I know where the messages are coming from already. But if I can't read the message, it's useless. I've only begun researching this and so far Google hasn't been much help, nor has searching these or other forums. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got off the phone with Palm Support. Apparently this is a bug in the mail application. It currently does not support parsing both HTML and plain text in the same message. It will read EITHER plain text OR HTML, but not both at the same time. This will be fixed in a future update.

[Mail] Replacing a signature with a text in the plain text alternative..?

Hi all.
I just created a signature for Mail. All is good, I created it in HTML and adapted it accordingly. The issue is, I have my name on it in a sort of logotype so I'm not typing my name explicitly in any email. Now, if the application settings of the other party is set to display emails in plain text format, the plain text alternative of the email will naturally omit the signature thus my name.
Is there any chance I can make it replace the signature with my name for the plain text version? I tried using the 'alt' attribute in the 'object', 'div' and 'img' tags, CDATA and some other tricks but no luck yet. Hope someone has an experience in this subject that has resulted in success...
Thanks in advance.

If you open a HTML document in a text editor (not TextEdit), you will see stuff like:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled</title>
<meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 6.5.3" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The part that you need to keep is just the anchor tag:
It depends on how the document is saved, so if an application includes the headers (you can't really tell by just looking at the rendered document), you need to manually remove them. I use BBEdit to create a HTML file with just the anchor tag, so I don't have to worry about what an application is going to copy it as.

Plain text signatures

Being an old die hard I use plain text for my emails. I've noticed (only recently, perhaps since 10.4.5 upgrade) that in the signature window and in the email I'm composing that the signature shows as as (I think) Times font. However, it appears to arrive as plain text.
If I highlight the signature before sending and go to choose Format > Make Plain Text I find that the option is still Make Rich Text implying that it is already plain text.
In case it's relevant my chosen font for plain text is Monaco.

If you are sending plain text it doesn't matter what
the message looks like to you
It does, that's why I've posted the question
No, thanks for the reply, I do understand what you mean and I appreciate that I have no control over what it looks like at the other end, it's just that I have some signatures which are several lines of text and it bugs me to see the message in one font then my signatuer in another.

How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
Thank you!

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

Reading All messages in plain text format

Is it possible to read all incoming mail messages received through a traditional POP3 account in plain text format as opposed to HTML?
I am running my own POP3 server (hmailserver).
Sometimes we are sent messages in HTML format. When they come in on the iPhone, the font size is microscopic. If all messages were received as plain text, it would simplify things dramatically.

There is no such preference setting/option with the iPhone's mail client.
I've never been a fan of HTML formatting with email for a number of reasons, with this being one of them. When the sender uses HTML, the sender controls the formatting, and HTML is not rendered the same with each email client, and all email clients do not include a preference setting to change all formatting for received messages to plain text.

I have been having to change my email messages to plain text alternative in order to read the font. Can I change the default somewhere?

I have been having to change my email messages to plain text alternative in order to read the font. Can I change the default somewhere?

Maybe I need to try a different route. I was able to change the font settings for the general mail. I am now thinking it is a problem with Safari or the internet browser. I am seeing the bubble font only on messages that contain pictures ~ When I click to view the full message in the browser, the font changes to a readable font.

IPhone Plain Text

I would like to know if there is a way I can possibly default the built in mail application on my iPhone to send emails in HTML format rather than Plain Text.
I have already read a variety of posts with some suggestions, like bolding or applying some sort of font characteristic to my email or signature would force it to use HTML. I have tried these and they do work, however the main result im looking for is something that does the same, but without having the email/signature formatted in any fashion.

Rich text versus plain text when sending to Outlook

I've notice some strange behavior with Mail today. I've been sending some attachments to people who use Outlook on an Exchange server. When I send the mail in Rich Text Format, they receive the mail but the text and the signature are included as attachments as well. This is not the case if I send the same message with no attachment. Also, if I change the message format to Plain Text, the mail appears normal both with and without the attachment.
Does anyone have a similar issue? Are there any know solutions? I'd really prefer to use RTF vs. Plain Text.
Cheers,
Barry

Read the attached link and the link to the microsoft site to better understand what may be happening.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304245
If the attachment is plain text it should not be sent as a windows friendly attachment.
If the attachment is recognized as having rich text content it should be sent a as a windows friendly attachment.
The linked Microsoft document in the attached link has a Common Scenarios section which shows the Solution settings for Outlook based on the Problem experienced by the recipient.

Imbedded Pictures ALWAYS sent as binary no matter "Plain Text" or Rich Formatting.

When I send an email with an imbedded photo, the recipient always gets a huge file of binary information. Changing back and forth from Plain Text or Rich Formatting doesn't make any difference. Sometimes the recipient can send the binary file back to me and I can now see the photo. The problem appears to be related to a single computer [but naturally the most important one]. The problem does not seem to happen on ATTACHED photos. I'm using FireFox 4.0

Hello, and thank you for welcoming me. I was a frequent user of these forums a few years back, but since then I lost the ID I was using at the time, so I had to start over, unfortunately.
In answer to your question, a signature with formatted text does make Mail send as rich text, so it would be a solution for that reason. However, my Dad is not, shall we say, an expert with computers, and since Mail inserts the signature upon starting a new message, I am worried that there would be times when he would accidentally delete it, especially if it's formatted to be invisible.
However, if you know of a way to have Mail insert the signature upon sending the message, instead of before the message is composed, then that would be the solution.

Setting "insert signature over the text quote" - not working

Setting "insert signature over the text quote" - Bug
Signature is always at the bottom of the quote.
Today's update did not fix the problem
Support does not respond

Further to my previous email, I just discovered that the fault occurs only when the mail is in plain text format, which is my default format. Another issue I found is that if I change an email from Rich Text to Simple Text while composing a reply, the most recent text is deleted, which is rather annoying.

Unable to change font color for Plain Text Emails

I have a Win7 Enterprise x86 machine running Outlook 2010. I am unable to read plain text emails. When I go into Options->Mail->Stationary and Fonts, the preview box under "Composing and reading plain text messages" is all white.
I've tried changing it to automatic, black, random colors, different fonts and styles, click 'Ok' and nothing happens. Preview pane and incoming plain text emails are white. I followed all the steps in this TechNet article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/0e535f1f-0a2f-4208-9b05-42c4e943b484/outlook-2010-cannot-view-plain-text-emails?forum=officeitproprevious
Applied the Fix It, repaired Office 2010, renamed the normalemail.dotm file. Still nothing.
Anyone run into this issue or have a fix?

This could be a view issue. Please try to open Outlook using the /cleanviews
switch to clean your views, and try again. Here is the line switches for Outlook 2010http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/command-line-switches-for-outlook-2010-HP010354956.aspx
If /cleanviews doesn't work for you, you might try to recreate your Outlook profile. Please refer to this article:
