Revert to Apple's choice for mail app fonts

I had difficulty reading the tiny text in the message pane on the OS X Mail app, so I played around with the font and font size in an attempt to find something better. That had mixed results, but I found the width doesn't adjest when using general larger font sizes so the messages simply become difficult to read in a different way.
Now I'd like to kill the changes and get back to the standard out-of-the-box settings. What are they?

First on a computer try editing your ID to change the payment method to None.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
Last:

How to find add-ons for mail.app

D'oh!
Am I missing something incredibly obvious about App Store?
I want to find all add-ons -- worktogethers for mail.app. How?
Example:   I found a product called MessageFont which may have a similar function to the one I am seeking. Its web page is marked "Available on App Store". Sure, I can find Messagefont on App Store, either by overall search, or alphabetical arrangement of Productivity Apps.    So, I guess that the app I'm seeking MIGHT also be in this category. But there are currently 3065 other apps in that category.   Does the Search box at upper left apply to the currently visible selection? Maybe, sort of. But searching for "mail.app" or "mail" don't seem to do what I want. Searching for "apple mail" returns only 7 hits, including my example, MessageFont, but the hits also include OS X Server, and b) It seems unlikely there are only 5 additional add-ons -- worktogethers for mail.app.
Bonus question: What I'm looking for is a utility that makes it easier to reply to formatted email messages in mail.app, by making visible --and prefereably, supporting removal of-- block structures.   It seems that block structures (e.g. blockquotes, perhaps others) interfere with opening vertical space into which interspersed reply text can be entered.
TIA

To what are you referring when you ask about "add-ons to Premiere 13" (assumed you mean Adobe Premiere Element 13)? On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
Premiere Elements has not come with a Content Disc or offered Content download from an Adobe web site since Premiere Elements 10.
If "add-ons" to you mean Content download...DVD Templates, Movie Themes, Clip Art, etc....then most of that is going to come from downloading
Content from within the opened project. There is a limited amount of content that comes complete as part of the installation.
A description of this process is fully described

Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Please supply more information If I have not targeted your question.
Thank you.

PGP for Mail.app?

Alright, I've been loooking for a while and I can't seem to find a good encryption solution for Mail.app
Apple's Mail help file mentions something vague about how mail does support pgp if the enctyption is hidden in they keychain, but mentions no way of doing this. Is there some easy way of implementing pgp in mail that I'm missing? The best solution Google easily offers is GPGMail (http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html), but that seems slightly sketchy and I'd like to do encryption the Apple Way™ (if there is a way, that is)
Black MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.0 GHz 1g ram

There's no reason not to use the GPGMail plugin for Mac OS X; it's been around for years and it works; nothing "sketchy" about it. You will also need to download and install the GNU Privacy Guard (a.k.a. MacGPG) to make it encrypt and decrypt messages.
Or, you could get a free personal email certificate to sign and encrypt your mail, but it will expire after 1 year and then you'd have to get a new one. If that's the method you prefer, check this link for instructions. Go directly to the link where it says Thawte: Personal Email Certificates and start reading.

Skins-Themes for Mail.app

I may have posted this before but got no responses... trying again.
I am using Thunderbird now, but mail.app is finally looking attractive. Is thre any way to change the theme for mail.app? It's "mission critical" for me to us a dark theme.. I can't face a white screen all day long..
if there is no theme option for mail.app. where do I go in apple.com to post feature requests?

"duh" of course.. but since I never open mail.app I didn't think of that.. .thanks
btw.. it just takes you back here to:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html
and if you search "feedback" you get all the links to send in feature requests for all the apps...

Am I too fast for Mail.app?

*Simplified version*: http://trials.sent.com/problem.jpg
*Detailed version:*
So here I am composing away in Mail.app. I suddenly decide that I need to select a prior portion of my typed text and replace it with another phrase.
So I select the text, and I start typing my replacement phrase without pressing delete. This used to work fine, and the portion that I wanted replaced would get replaced with the new intended phrase.
The problem? After I select a prior portion of the typed text, and press delete (or start typing with my replacement), I'm now seeing additional words (those that were present right after the deleted words) automatically selected by Mail.app.
This is bad, because if I'm typing away, I've already lost unintended words. Am I too fast for Mail.app? Should I slow down?
Is this just me? I've had this problem for over almost a year now (with my old macbook), and new macbook pro.

This exact problem has happened to me on my Late 2008 MBP a number of times.
After I select something, I delete it (cut it, type another letter, whatever) and the text is moved appropriately, but the selected area remains. So upon the next keystroke the next few words are also deleted.
It seems to be some sort of bug. I'm not sure if its related to the trackpad, or what. I haven't made much effort to isolate and fix the problem either. Perhaps we should both submit feedback to Apple about this. Your illustration depicts the problem perfectly. Would you mind if I link to it when I send in feedback?
One more thing: It's not limited to Mail.app on my machine. I get it in Pages and TextEdit as well, for sure. Perhaps it is limited to Cocoa applications; I'm not sure if I've ever got it in Word or Appleworks.

How to enable logging for mail.app in Mountain Lion

I am at my wits end trying to figure this out....
Does anyone have a clue how to enable the logging for mail.app under Mountain Lion?
In the past, you could open up Console and click on Console.log and see the logging of mail. Under mountain Lion, there is no more console.log. I cannot figure out how to enable it.
I have tried to run the AppleScript of "Turn On Logging" but the script errors out under Mountain Lion.
Does anyone know how to do this or a better way, maybe a tool or something that can help you troubleshoot mail.app issues?
Thanks in advanced

Hello,
I have a similar problem. The script "Turn on Logging.scpt" runs without error, but I do not see any socket logging. I only get two messages, which I also get when I start mail without the script by just clicking the mail.app icon in the dock. The Messages are:
1/10/13 3:43:32.618 PM Mail[11276]: Using V2 Layout
1/10/13 3:43:36.388 PM Mail[11276]: *** -[IADomainCache init]: IA domains cache is out of date.
Any help would be appreciated

I have a i-phone 5s which i got recently. Everytime i try to update my apps that i got on my 4s on the new5s i get message to fill in a password for some unknown gmail id. How do I get my apple id back for my apps?

That means that one or more of these apps was obtained using that ID. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them & they cannot be transferred to another ID. Your only option is to delete this content, then re-purchase using your ID.

Sobriety check for Mail.app

Hi everyone,
I've been asked at work if it is possible to add this functionality to Mail.app, in a similar vein to what Gmail has recently added to their service.
In a nutshell, what I need to create is an alert dialog that pops up when a user clicks the send button in Mail that allows them to confirm they want the message to be sent. It's not really a sobriety check (at least I hope not) but really a chance for an employee to avoid mistakes in their email message before it goes out.
At this point I'd just like to know if it's feasible before I go down this route and if anyone has any advice for an AS noob looking to do this. Bonus points if you know whether it's possible to add a modifier to the Send button to bypass the script.
Thanks much!

Not directly - at least not via AppleScript.
Mail.app supports AppleScripts for scanning incoming mail messages. There is no support for AppleScript on outgoing messages.
It is possible to write Mail.app plugins, but they're not well documented (search for 'Mail.app plugin' for an idea) and requires an understanding of Objective-C.
The last option I can think of is to not use Mail.app's automatic send/receive. Instead using a stay-open AppleScript to periodically get mail and check for messages in the outbox. If it finds any it posts the question then sends the message(s). The problem with this approach, though, is that it's far from foolproof (the user can send the message manually by enabling automatic mail sending).

Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

Either they've been moved to another home screen or dropped in a folder, in which case doing a search or resetting the Home Screen layout (Settings/General/Reset) should bring them up, or they've been turned off in General/Restrictions.

Want more formatting features for Mail.app

Hi everyone,
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple made Mail.app as feature rich as Thunderbird?
Wow! You'd think they'd want Mail to be fully formattable and customizable with all the features available.
I can't believe we can't control background color for example.
Thanks

IMO, no.
I'm not a fan of using HTML for email message composition and I'm not interested in changing the background color of my messages or adding animated gifs or smileys and I don't enjoy receiving messages with the same.
Using HTML for email message composition increased the cost to exchange electronic messages and also causes a wide range of problems including major security issues - primarily for Windows users.

22 seconds for Mail.app to contact SMTP

So, it takes 22 seconds from the push on ”send”, until Mail.app gets contact with the SMTP-server.
I've tried 4 different SMTP's, with and without authentication. If I send another mail immediately after one was sent (swoosh sound) – it will be sent without delay.
Same problem in GF's MacBook. There's however no delays from the iPhone or from Thunderbird with the same settings for SMTP.
I've tried the following with no success: New user account on computer, Repaired Disk Permissions, Repaired harddrive (Disk Utilities), Repaired Keychain.
OS X 10.5.8, Mail 3.6

That the second message will go immediately is is a sure indication of the DNS issue present for many people in Leopard. Have you powered down your entire network -- computers, router, modem -- recently? That would be the first thing to try. See the following discussion about DNS:

Ability to log activity for Mail.app?

Having a major problem trying to establish an IMAP account with Mail.app. I am getting generic errors and thus haven't found anything on this board or google.
Is there a way to trace or log a mail account setup? I do see a why to trace mail activity via terminal but I am looking for something that can troubleshoot the setup issue I am having
Thanks

Open /Applications/Utilities/Console and do either File > Open Console Log, or File > Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
Apparently, you can tell Mail to provide detailed log information as described in the following article (I haven’t tried it myself):
Enable detailed Mail.app logging options
Also, Mail comes with a Turn On Logging AppleScript that I haven’t tried either, but that was discussed some time ago in the following thread:
MAIL LOG???
