Remove original message when replying in mail

I don't want to include the text of messages received when I reply to them. Mail help says to adjust this you
1. Choose Mail > Preferences and click Composing.
2. Select the "Quote the text of the original message" checkbox.
3. Select "Include selected text if any, otherwise include all."
my problem is that when I go to Mail > Preferences there is no Composing option to click.

In Tiger, when you go to Mail Preferences, there is a gray oval in the upper right hand corner of the Preferences window. When you click on it, it should reveal these other icons: General... Accounts... RSS... Junk Mail... Fonts & Colors... Viewing... Composing... Rules, if they are not currently visible.
In Leopard, when you go to Mail Preferences, if these other icons are not visible to you, go under View on the menubar and select "Show Toolbar"

  • Text appears in the middle of the original message when replying

    Has anyone had this problem? When replying to an email the reply message text appears right in the middle of the detail header of the original message. Here is an example:
    Original Message:
    From: Jane Doe
    "Yes 2PM at Market Place works for me."
    To: Tawnbi
    Sent on xx/xx/2007, Friday, etc.
    Hey! How about 2PM tomorrow at Market Place?
    Okay. The text "Yes 2PM at Market Place works for me" was the reply. Why didn't it appear above the detail header to the original message? The rep at Apple Store in Chicago said he's only had one other customer with this problem. The email is being accessed through Outlook Web Access. Has anyone had this problem? If so, found a solution?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • How to copy UserProperties from origin message when doing reply, forward or reply all?

    is there a way to auto copy the UserProperties from origin message when doing reply, forward, reply all or any other operation? (if exists)

    And to handle the Reply / Forward / ReplyAll events, you need to track the selected items (use Explorer.SelectionChange event) and messages displayed in inspectors (use Application.Inspectors.NewInspector event). Keep in mind that more than one message
    can be selected or displayed at a time, so you will need to dynamically track the list of items that can fire the Reply / Forward / ReplyAll events.

  • How can I remove unread messages when I know I don't have any?

    How can I remove "unread messages" when I know I do not have any?

    Hit the num lock button again. Num lock forces only the numeric keypad underlying keys to work as a  numeric keypad, and the rest of the keyboard won't work.  Unfortunately Apple stopped including the numeric keypad hidden keyboard key labels on its keyboards.  They used to include them.  They are known as mouse keys: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_moskys.html

  • Getting rid of code when replying in Mail and closing original message

    When replying to an e-mail, the To/From/Subject lines get expanded with several lines of code. Is there a way to prevent this?
    Also, is there a preference that tells the original message to close upon reply?

    Thanks V.K. I read your previous post, and that's where I learned about deleting in the previous recipients list. The only thing I sync with is my iPod Touch, but I haven't done that since deleting the addresses. If I do as you suggest, won't I lose all my mail and address book information?
    no, that would only clear the previous recipients list. it won't touch the address book. but if you got it fixed then you don't need to do that.
    That would be worse than having to deal with the wrong address situation. Also, when I deleted the addresses, I used the keyboard delete key. I think that's the problem, as I went back and deleted something using the "delete" button on the recipients list page instead, and it worked the way it's supposed to.

  • Can't forward original message or reply

    when i receive an email and want to forward I only get a window popup which I never got. This window doesn't have the send or forward toolbar command.
    I believe I accidently changed some format but don't know how to fix it.

    I have no idea what popup you talk about. When you hit reply you should get a write window open with either the original message quoted or not depending on how you have your account settings set.

  • An Extra Space at Top When Replying in Mail?

    When replying to a message in Mail the blinking cursor is literally right above the "On Jun 2, 2006, at 12:58 PM, Wesley wrote:", is it possible to set in the preferences or somewhere so that the blinking cursor is two spaces above the "On" date?
    Thanks.

    Does anyone else have a double space at the top when replying?

  • Error message when sending e-mail

    Almost everytime I send an e-mail from my server e-mail account, vs my gmail account, I get a message saying my outgoing mail.[server].com is not trusted and the e-mail isn't sent.
    How do I make it trusted? I took about 7 tries just to get the iPhone to accept my e-mail account so I could receive them in the first place.
    My host company has no special configure settings for the iPhone and it works fine with mail on my iMac.
    Suggestions on how to fix it?

    The SMTP server may require authentication so make sure that option is checked.

  • How to remove own email when replying all in mail

    When I hit Reply All in the Mail app, it automatically puts my own email in CC. How can I stop this?

    As expected, when I "Reply All" to emails sent to me, I'm not included in the CC.  I assume this is the scenario that the OP is referencing, except that he's included in the CC.  Perhaps he can explain in more detail.
    When I reply all, I AM included, but it disappears if I tap the CC/BCC field.

  • Remove Table Message when running query in CR2008

    Hi All,
       I am having a very weird problem in which when I run my report, a Remove Table table message comes up saying that the database table could not be found. Proceed to remove? I cannot continue with my query because it doesn't see my tables even though they do exist. My database connector is SQL Native Client 10 and my database system is SQL Server 2008 Standard. I am running this query within the CR2008 designer. Any ideas why CR is not seeing my tables?
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    Any CR 2008 patches installed?
    Can you tell us more what field it's trying to remove?
    If you create a new report and log in can you see that table in the database Wizard?
    Once you connect click on the Connection and select Options and check off everything except Tables.

  • IMAP setup on a Blackberry gets the original email when replied to or forwarded from Outlook.

    I configured IMAP on my blackberry, but every time I reply to or forward an email in Outlook, the original email that I am responding to or forwarding gets sent back to my blackberry

    The outlook/microsoft exchange does not support the full IMAP standard and changes the UID of the email every time you click on it, reply to it, open it, or forward it.  The blackberry server only checks for the UID, and if it's not the same as the one on your phone, it'll download it again. 
    I really wish either the Blackberry server would check for more than the UID (Gmail does it), but so far it seems neither company will budge.  Microsoft wants to do it their way (go figure) and RIM wants to adhere to the standard (makes sense).
    Really, I think RIM should just back down from their stronghold and check for more than UID to determine if an email is new or not.
