Rich Text Mail not format when received by others

Am new to Mac and mail. Have set my mail accounts up ok and am sending formatted mail (rich mail, change font to arial and changed colour). However, when it is received by other computers (non-mac!!) the mail format is times roman and colour is black.
Can anyone help me with a solution?
Thanks

Is mail encoding the message so that it is unreadable by Entourage or Outlook?  That is the program that at least one of the recipients is using. 
Does anyone know what could be going on?
Sort of. Outlook is a crappy email client unless it is sending and receiving to/from itself. It even has trouble with Microsoft's own products like Entourage, Outlook for Mac and Outlook Express (Windows version).
Depending on the version of Outlook and the Exchange server that is hosting it, various problems will occur.
If you are sending to a known bad version, use Plain text and set the attachments to always at end.  Another thing noted as helpful is setting the attachment to view as icon (right-click on it and choose view as icon).
Changing the font at the beginning of the message is known to work sometimes. Recently, some people have found that adding an empty plain text document as an attachment helps with some versions of Outlook.
Despite that fact that Outlook does not conform to email standards, Apple has tried to keep up with the various idiosyncrasies in Outlook, but Microsoft tends to stay one step ahead with new bugs.

  • Bug in Mail: Plain-Text | Rich-Text-Mails

    Hi,
    just found a bug in Mail (Mac OS X 10.6.2):
    I am using a faxservice-provider, which sends my PDF-files to the transmitted fax-number.
    This stopped working a few weeks ago, the recipients of my faxe just get blank pages.
    I talked to the provider and they told me, that I was sending "Multi-Part-HTML"-mails, so their fax-software just sends the first part of the mail (some blank lines) and not the attached PDF-file.
    So I checked a few thing and found the following bug:
    Mail is set up to send mails only as "plain-text"-mails.
    But if i send an email via the print-dialog ("send PDF per Mail") Mail creates a Rich-Text-mail. This also happens when using the "send PDF via Mail button" in Adobe Reader.
    The created Mail is NOT a plain-text-mail!
    Saving a PDF-file to the desktop and dragging the file to the Mail-Icon in the dock creates a "Plain-Text-File".
    So you need to check the format of the Mail in the "Format-Menu". If you change the format at this place to "Plain-Text" everything is working fine.
    Something in this Automator-workflow-script is working wrong. This workflow just has the order to create a new Mail with the PDF as attachment, so I can't change anything their. But the error must be founded in this script/workflow.

    And it's only a Gmail issue, not in, for example, Google Docs.

  • HT4245 face time does not connect when receiving or dialing out

    face time does not connect when receiving or dialing out

    It finally seems to work (2nd day now and counting)...
    I tried the following with no luck:
    upgrading to iOS 5
    adding an associated e-mail and calling that associated e-mail
    do a full-scale registration of the e-mail (and making a free purchase via itunes) instead of a 'facetime only' registration
    this combo however seems to have done the trick:
    keeping the ipad2 plugged in
    changing the dns on the ipad to "8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8"
    If it continues to work for a few more days, then i think i can say the the problem is finally resolved.

  • ChaRM: Mail not triggered when current user = mail receiver?

    Dearl all:
         Ive noticed that mails are not triggered when the user who is processing a document is the same who will receive it. Is there any way to deactivate this functionality?
    Thank you very much,
    Federico.

    Hi Miguel, how are you?
          I think it is a nice feature not sending a mail when the user who is changing the status in the one who would receive the mail in that next status. But Im in the testing pahse of implementing SOLMAN and I would like to know if this is a real feature or a flaw, and besides I would like to turn off this possible feature, just for the testing phase. This is not a big deal anyway.
        By the way, I also notice that if there is a partner assigned multiple times to a document, it doesnt trigger the mails as expected.
    Best regards,
    Federico.

  • No content in rich text mails from MS Exchange with attachments

    After upgrading to Yosemite I cannot see any content in mails received from MS Exchange in rich text format when they have an attachment. In Mavericks I can see the content (text) of the mail and the attachments in form of a file called winmail.dat. But in Yosemite I only see the header and the content pane shows a loading animation. When I look in the Library folder I can see the mail in my inbox folder. It has multiple parts, one .partial.emlx and one or more with .emlxpart. When I boot my backed up Mavericks installation, everything is fine. So I think it's a problem with mail.
    Any help on this?
    Best regards,

    EXAMPLE: you can create a Workflow Variable that has a simple HTML table, and when SP workflow sends the email the values in the cells do not line up, if the RFT values are blank from the InfoPath form the email table looks greate, as soon as you type any
    value in the InfoPath form RFT the email does not line up to the any of the other html cell text or other Look up values to the InfoPath form.

  • Why Rich Text (HTML Only) format email introduces line breaks (paragraph marks) in the email body in html?

    A sentence in rich text (change in Options, Delivery format) appears as a single sentence in browser. But when I check the page source I see that sentence has been broken in to multiple lines. Why is this done? Isn't this a bug?
    When viewed in a browser or application that supports rich text this does not create any problem since the line breaks are not taken into account . But I am trying to extract the text from this html and display in a nonHTML application like notepad.
    Is this done on purpose?
    For eg.
    In browser - Honesty is the best policy
    In View HTML Source -
    Honesty
    Is the
    best
    policy.

    lets start at the beginning.
    There is no such thing as rich text email, unless it in internal corporate stuff like MS Exchange, Lotus notes etc. EMail on the internet is HTML or Plain Text.
    I have no options > delivery format in my settings. Is this something to do with Outlook perhaps?
    Then there is your image. All those MSO objects. They stand for Microsoft Office Objects and indicate the source of the HTML as being Outlook or at least Microsoft Office. All in all I think your asking about Microsoft actions on a Mozilla forum.

  • Rich Text Editor not showing up

    Hi. I've installed OracleAS 10g Rel 2.
    When I try to add text using IE6 the text area is just gray. I have tried to change different attributes in IE but its still gray. I dont know how to debug IE either, I normally use firefox.
    Any ideas how I can debug IE, or what I should change on my IE to make the rich text editor show up.
    (btw, the installation is on my laptop, using XP pro. Not supportet but generally works fine. I know ppl at Oracle have this working on XP so it should not be the issue).

    hi terje,
    i just tested this on my 10.1.2 installation using IE6 and it works fine. so it seems not to be any general issue.
    2 things i would check:
    - does a java scrip error occur on the page when you add/edit a text item. you see this in the left lower corner of the browser.
    - check the log files on the application server mid-tier.
    - but before starting debugging i would go to another pc and try to access your portal from there. this will show you if your client machine is the problem or if the portal installation is the problem.

  • Mail not scanned when forwarded locally

    I've set up a couple of Macs in my office to run OS X Server (10.4.3) and I have a problem with mail not being junk mail scanned and wonder if any of the OS X Server geniuses out here can help me get it working correctly.
    Machine #1, 'proxy.server' is setup to be the firewall/router/proxy for the local network. It has no user accounts except for administration. Machine #2, 'mail.server' is the final destination for mail for our domains and has user accounts setup on it. All the usernames that we want to receive email for are listed in /etc/postfix/aliases on proxy.server - I want to move to virtual mail users, but I don't want to complicate things right now. Mail for all the users listed in the aliases file are successfully accepted by proxy.server and forwarded on to mail.server.
    When I look in the headers of mail received on mail.server, I see the 'X-virus-scanned' lines indicating that it was virus scanned by proxy.server, but there are no indications that it has been scanned for Junk mail. Mail delivered and stored locally on proxy.server (ie the 'junkmail' account) do have these extra lines in their headers.
    Is there a way to enable the junk mail scanning on proxy.server before it forwards the messages on to mail.server? Long term, I want proxy.server to be able to reject mail it thinks is Junk mail, but for now I just want it to scan it so both myself and the users can see that it is correctly identifying junk mail.
    Any hits/tips/help greatly appreciated.

    Just in case anyone else has a need to do this sort of thing, then I found a way to get around the limitations using the mailbox_transport option in postfix configuration and far too many ugly additions to the aliases list.

  • Mail locks up when receiving

    Mail locks up when I recieve mail in the mornings. I will be going along check emails fine, then all of a sudden I get the spinning beach ball! Then I have to do a force quit and restart mail.

    Should I rebuild the mail boxes or something like that?
    Rebuilding an IMAP mailbox is safe, so you may try that if you wish. I don't think that's the problem, though.

  • The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

    Hi all,
    Greetings for the day
    I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
    However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
    If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Parag Deb

    Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

  • Mail app crashes when receiving email from a particular sender

    HI All,
    Here is a problem I'm facing, Mail App crashes while receiving email from a particular sender. I'm testing our new Email Hosting solution "Rackspace" and it works fine with all other Email clients or on deveices (Android, Windows Phone & Blackbarry) but on Iphone 4s (IOS 6.1.4, i guess) it crashes the Mail App.
    The email I'm using is sending over to an email at ttv-asia.com domain. The user of ttv-asia.com is based in China and just to see if the problem is with the Iphone, I've tested the Iphone's Mail App in Hong Kong and it works normal.
    So now... Im confused and have no Idea on how ro fix this.
