Replying to my custom stationery

Hello! I used these excellent directions to create my own stationery.
The stationery sends fine, looks great:
When I reply to a message, though, the reply does not contain the top.jpg or the bottom.jpg images:
I based this stationery on the Sand Dollar one. If I reply to a Sand Dollar email, all the images display properly.
Any ideas what I need to change?

I'm replying to my own post mainly to change the subject line so "Thunderbird" comes up in a search (rather than TBird) . . .
But I also wanted to say that in addition to the "white type" problem some Thunderbird users are having when replying to my mail, one person's app actually crashes when she tries opening any attachment I've sent.
I'd be most grateful to see a reply or two, even if it's confirmation that this problem has been seen before by others.

How do you save a customized stationery email.

I can't seem to find a way of saving customized stationery.
I put my pictures into the stationery template, no problem and I could send this but the "Save as Stationery" option in the File menu is always greyed out. This means I can't find a way of creating my own Stationery for future use, I have to make it from scratch each and every time.
What am I missing here

I was surprised that no one wanted to answer this question.
I waited long enough.
I still don't have this working properly

How to import custom stationery into choices

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. We've created a html stationery template and it's on Safari (for convenience I put it on my top sites) When I want to write an email using the custom stationery, I have to open it in Safari, press command I, and then it opens the stationery as mail. Is there another way to add the new template directly in the mail program choices of stationery?
Thanks!
(I'm still on Leopard 10.5.8) Mail version 3.6
Safari 4.0.4

sorry for this ignorant question, but what do you mean?
update profile; and where, how do I do this?
On the right of your screen, click on "My Public Profile", then from that window, click on "Edit My Settings". change your profile there to 10.5.8 and save the changes.
Also, is the "mail folder" inside the library?
No, we're not talking about your Home/Library/Mail folder; we're talking about a folder inside of the Mail program (which is actually a package of files and folders). If you Control-click on the Mail icon inside /Applications (while it's not running), choose "Show Package Contents".
Then drill down to Contents > Resources and look for a folder that's named something to indicate it might hold those stationery templates. If you find that, put yours inside there and restart Mail to see if you can select it. If you can't, quit Mail and remove it.

Custom Stationery: Picture oddly scaled

Hi, I managed to create a custom mail stationery which including 4 picture placeholders. I copy pasted the code from 2 different default stationeries, and tried to change the size of 1 picture drop zone (placeholder or whatever its name is). For this, I edited the content.hml. Description.plist and the various picture files in the bundle.
The result is: while writing a new message using the custom stationery, the mail looks great. Once its send, one picture gets re-sized very oddly -> The resolution, zoom and area of the picture shown in the mail is different from what I set it when editing the message.
Do you know a good step by step introduction on how to change the size of a picture placeholder, how to deal with alpha channels (what are they anyway) ....
thanks for any help,
t.

Hi!
I have read about the NI 9237 from this link http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374186e.pdf
What I understand is that the NI 9237 uses an internal voltage , 2.5, 3.3, 5 and 10V since my load cell need 5-12V according to my certificate I can use 10V from the NI 9237 and use then use the Vex value as 10V, or I'm I wrong? I don't know what exact voltage I must use or how I can adjust it since I haven't found any info of it. I don't have any physical manuals for my instruments at least I'm aware of, maybe in a box somewhere in my Lab.

, Mail: where is custom stationery stored?

No wonder various people have found it hard to locate the custom stationery files. In Mountain Lion they are well and truly hidden away. I have at last found them:
[user]/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/Custom/Contents/Resources
Spotlight won't find them. 'EasyFind' and 'Find Any File' will.

You can update custom queries in GTCs in one of two ways:
1) In Advanced -> Configuration -> Manage IT Resource for your GTC -> Search for your GTC's IT Resource -> Modify the field DBReconTransport_customizedQueries
2) In Advanced -> Configuration -> Manage Generic Connector -> Search and Select -> Edit Parameters -> Modify the field Customized Query

Setting a Transport Rule to reply with a Custom DSN for a Disabled User and disconnected mailbox

Here is what I am trying to accomplish. A user leaves the company. We disable there exchange email and that in turn disabled the account in AD. We want a custom NDR to say "This employee is no longer and employee blah blah" We dont get rid of email
boxes but we disable them.
Here is what I done. Created custom NDR and then created a transport rule to read if the message is sent to [email protected] reply back with this NDR code. It works fine if I disable the user from AD and not exchange. Once I "disconnect" the mailbox
it no longer works. I get the default NDR that says this email cant be found. I don't want that one. I want my custom NDR. I don't want to modify the 5.1.1 message either. Is there away around this?

Hi Nellyjo,
In your case, when you disable the user from AD and Exchange, in fact the message is blocked before reaching transport rule, recipient filtering is blocking this email. If you still want to achieve your goal by transport rule, you need to create a mailbox
or contact to make your transport rule work.
What's more, you also can modify original DSN for external and internal senders to meet your requirement.
For more information, here is a similar thread for your reference.

Mail Custom Stationery Does Not Load

I created and saved a custom, text only, stationery (i.e. no images, etc.). I can see it when I click Custom in the stationery list. But double clicking on the stationery does nothing. I've deleted and retried several times, to no avail. Help!

This is a bug that as far as I can tell is still present in 10.8.5 and has been around for awhile.
Here's what to do:
Open Mail. File> New Message
Immediately set your Signature to [None] (Yes, your Signature)
Now, click the Templates button
Scroll to the bottom and select [Custom]
Choose one of your custom templates (It will work now)
Now that you have found this workaround, PLEASE
go to https://ssl.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
and report this bug.
Apple will probably not respond to these posts. Make an official report!

Problems Rendering images in Custom Stationery

I have been trying to create stationery with an image in the letterhead, and I keep getting the dreaded blue Lego, whether I try a jpeg image or a PDF.
Are there any suggestions?

Thanks,
V.K. I've seen this thread. I'm not much with HTML. Can you recommend a good, cheap html editor. Many thanks.

Custom Mail Stationery Placeholders freeze

So I'm making a custom stationery with lots of placeholders for images.
I've finished making it, but there's just one error.
Whenever I drag a photo from one placeholder to another it freezes.
I've been trying to find answers online to no avail.
I've used it on multiple computers, also to no avail.
Thanks any help is appreciated.

Having the same issue here!
While my stationery template with 1 placeholder used to work very well in Leopard, it now freezes when replacing the placeholder image in Lion (Mail 5.2).

Use stationery in messages
You can add a personal touch to a message by using stationery. For example, if you’re inviting friends to dinner, you can use the Dinner stationery to make your message look like a professionally printed invitation.
Apply a stationery template
In the New Message window, click the Stationery icon in the toolbar.
To view the template choices, click a category, such as Announcements.
To use a template, click its thumbnail.To try a different template, click another thumbnail.
You can change the background color of some templates by clicking the thumbnail. For example, click the Daisies thumbnail several times to see different background colors.
After you decide on a template, click the Stationery icon again to see more of the message area.
If the template contains placeholder images, drag images from your desktop or the Finder over a placeholder.
If you have images on your Mac from using Aperture, iPhoto, or Photo Booth, click the Photo Browser icon in the message toolbar to view and select those images.
You can drag any folder of images onto the Photo Browser so that the images are easily accessible.
If the image is larger than the placeholder photo, double-click the image to display a slider you can use to zoom in on an area of the photo. You can also drag the image around to show a specific area.
If you use a template often, add it to the Favorites category. Drag the thumbnail over the category list. To remove a favorite, select it and click Remove (x).
Remove stationery
To remove a template from your message, click the Original thumbnail in the Stationery category.
Any text, images, or formatting you added is retained.
Create your own stationery
In a new message, enter and format your text, add images, and then choose File > “Save as Stationery.”
Your custom stationery will be available in the Custom category, at the end of the list.

Can't find the custom mail stationery folder since upgrade to Lion

I have some custom mail stationery items I created in Leopard and have since upgraded to Lion when it was released. Today I went to edit one of my custom ones and the folder was no longer present in the old location at
User folder/Library/Application Support/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/Custom
I have searched everywhere looking for the 'custom' folder but can't find it.
Problem is that mail still is showing them as if they still exist (and can use them) but I can't find where they are. I decided to try creating a new template to see where it stored it but I can't find it anywhere and definitely not in the usual place.
Can someone please point me in the right direction .. I'm pulling my hair out!!!!

Binaut's answer is great. However, how I was able to successfully move and place my custom stationery packages so they would show up in the "CUSTOM" category in a new mail using stationery took a different path. I had to place it in the SYSTEM Library FIRST. Of course I made the changes to the Table of Contents.plist and all that. AFTER I placed the package in the System/Library/Application Support etc. (the traditional place for templates) Mavericks Magically created the CUSTOM folder automatically and everything worked.
If I'm off on this, please let me know.
Below is a link to a new discussion I've started.
Hope this works for you! There's also a link to a good tutorial on creating your custom stationery in the first place.
Best to you!

How To Use Stationery With Mail Replies

The issue of using stationery files was one of the main reasons why I personally resisted switching to Apple Mail from Eudora 6.2.4 for many years. I use stationery files a lot in Eudora.
Now that I have begun to use Apple Mail after all of these years -- I've been a solid Mac user for 21 years -- while I have been able to set up almost thirty custom stationery files, and can use them in original messages that I create -- although it takes seven steps from the time that I hit the "New Message" button to the time that I hit the "Send" button, while this can be accomplished in Eudora in only three steps using the "Message With" or "Reply With" message commands -- I have found absolutely no way to use my custom stationery files in reply messages in Apple Mail.
Surely there must be a simple way to include stationery files in reply messages. Can someone here please point me in the right direction? From what I can tell, there doesn't even appear to be a way to add the stationery button to the toolbar that is located on the top right side of the reply window.
I am also disappointed that there appears to be no way to delete the built-in stationery files that I have no use for, and which are just taking up space.
Furthermore, I haven't found any way to rearrange my custom stationery files in the order that I like them. I want to place the ones that I use the most on the left side of the display window. As it is now, the one that I use the most is located on the very end on the far right side, so I have to scroll way over to use it.
Apple, will you please address these basic Mail issues. Considering how advanced Mac OS X is, I am rather surprised that Apple Mail is deficient in these areas.
Thanks so much!

As much as I have enjoyed using Eudora over the years, sadly, it is now falling behind the times. Some time ago, I began experiencing certain problems in some email messages, such as links not being clickable when they should have been, or at least not recognizing a certain link format, which resulted in Eudora throwing an error message. In other instances, email messages that were formatted in HTML were not displaying properly in Eudora.
The minute that I switched to Apple Mail, both of these issues were resolved, and I was quite surprised. It really made me realize how old Eudora has become. And the supposedly "new" Eudora? Nope, sorry, no thanks! That is not the real Eudora. I have now grown used to using Apple Mail, but again, I would really like the ability to respond with stationery files.
What also bugs me is that you cannot use stationery files with attachments, unless those attachments are images. For example, try attaching a zipped archive to an outgoing message that uses a stationery file. Everything seems okay until you hit the send button. Then you get a message which informs you that you either have to remove the zipped archive, or remove the stationery.
In the second decade of the 21st Century, I find these various problems with Apple Mail -- including the problems that I mentioned in my previous message -- totally unacceptable.

Resetting default reply-to and sent from

I followed the advice here to change my default reply to field in Mail https://discussions.apple.com/message/1667119#1667119
How do I edit Terminal to remove this instruction?
Also, I use an email forwarding address so that if I change ISP or change email account my address stays the same. How can I edit my iCloud account in Mail to display that forwarding email address as sent from when people receive emails from me?

Hi, Robert.
One possible solution is stationery. When you save custom stationery, the visible headers and anything entered into them are saved with that stationery.
e.g. Set up a new email with the Bcc: and Reply-To: fields visible and enter the appropriate addresses into those fields, then select Save as Stationery from the File menu.
To send an email using this stationery, in the New Message window you need to click Show Stationery and then click on your custom stationery. You can drag your custom stationery into the Favorites category if you like.
Not a perfect solution, but quicker than entering Bcc: and Reply-To: addresses each time, and certainly more flexible than the sledgehammer UserHeaders approach.

Default Reply-To and Bcc in Mail (Moved)

This is a repost of a question I mistakenly posted on the Leopard thread.
I just finished transferring all my archived mail from several years from Netscape Mail 7.2 to OS X Mail 2.1. There are 2 features which I used in Netscape Mail that I am unable to duplicate in OS X Mail:
1. bcc a specific address other than myself
2. provide a reply-to address different than the ISP addressed used to send the mail
On the 10.5 thread, Pascal Bouvier provided an excellent suggestion, referencing the following site which had 2 potential solutions to this problem:
http://www.hawkwings.net/2007/01/28/adding-a-default-reply-to-address-in-mailapp /
The first suggestion involves an applescript created by Mail Team Developer Cricket which allows specification of a Bcc other than "myself" and a Reply-To address to every email by default. However, the link to this applescript - http://homepage.mac.com/cricket/Menu19.html - results in an error. Apparently, the page has been removed.
The second suggestion involves a post on macosxhints - http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=11055 - using Terminal commands to achieve the same objective. I carefully used the following Terminal command to specify the desired defaults addresses:
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Reply-To" = "mydefaultreplytoaddress"; "Bcc" = "mydefaultbccaddress"; }'
and verified that they had been successfully entered using:
defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders
However, using these Terminal commands has had no effect on my outgoing mail Bcc and Reply-To addresses, even after restarting Mail, restarting OS X, etc.
Does anyone know where the Cricket script can now be found?
Alternatively, any suggestions as to why the Terminal commands are not working?
Thanks greatly for any ideas.
Bob

Mail replying wrong font

Hello all -
I have been using Mail for years, but all of a sudden, when I reply to email messages, Mail is changing my font (which is set in preferences to be Georgia - Regular - 12pt) to ghastly Gill Sans Extra Bold. When I check the preferences, they are indeed set up right.
This doesn't happen when I create a new message.
Any ideas?

Not exactly. When a font and color is selected (in Preferences), it shows in the settings box, but not in the outgoing message one. Am I wrong in thinking that these two settings should agree?
I'm not clear about exactly what you are referring to, but Mail > Preferences does not affect what is seen by recipients of your emails. To do that you must set the font and color in the New Message pane individually for each outgoing. Or you can use custom stationery or try starting your message in the first line of a signature that you have set to the font you want.
