Safari's "Email Website" option poses problems when viewed in Apple Mail

With the new Safari came a great set of new features. One of them is the "Email Website" option under the "Share" button. This embeds the website in an email and allows you to send it to anybody. I've received a couple of these. They look great. However there's one big issue. There is no way to then open the original page in Safari. The links on the page are clickable, so you can open some new page, however unless you knew where on the website the page you were emailed is located, you might spend half an hour looking for it.
To make this feature fully functional, there should be an option in Apple Mail to "Open webpage in browser", which would open a link to the original website. Meaning that you still get an embedded website in an HTML email, however there's an option that will open the original URL (which could be anything like http://www.mywebsite.com/store/gifts.html).
Unless this is already implemented and I don't know how to enable it?

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

How to maintain PDF links when viewed in Apple Mail

Hi All
I've created a single page promo flyer in InDesign which has an email and a web link at the foot of the page. The flyer is to be distributed to clients as a PDF attachment via Apple Mail. The PDF has been created from the InDesign doc and the links display and behave as they are intended to. When I attach the PDF to a mail it displays just fine. I want recipients to be able to click on and follow the links directly from the Mail view in a single action without having to download the PDF and then click on the links. However when you try to click the links the whole PDF highlights blue and no link is activated. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this?
I'm using Apple Mail v7.3 on an iMac running OSX v10.9.5.
Thanks in anticipation!

If you are asking about addresses that are not in your Address Book, they are listed in Windows > Previous Recipients.

Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail

Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail. How should I deal with it ? Many thanks!

As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

Although all photos in my libraries are rotated to the correct orientation, random pictures still show up in the wrong position when viewed on Apple TV. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your comments
Several of our iPhone users in the UK reported the problem this morning, and as the Apple fan in the office I've got the job of resolving the issue
The original Excel was an old .xls file, but I have saved it as a .xlsx and the problem still appears
I haven't spoken with our developer yet, but I assume he has created the Excel file using some programming tools rather that directly using Excel
In the meantime I have created a simply spreadsheet with 8 cells contain values
In the first 4 cells, I have formatted them using Currency, and have used the currencies USD, DEM, GBP and CHF
In the remaining cells I have formatted them using the Accounting option, using the same currencies
When I review the spreadsheet on the iPhone (or iPad), the first 4 remain the same yet the last four all show the £ symbol
I have now changed the Region Format of the iPhone to United States, and when viewing on the iPhone the bottom 4 values are now all showing the $ sign!
If I had created the spreadsheet I would have put the Currency code in a seperate cell and purely used a numeric format for the number, and there would be no issue. That might be the only solution
Yes, the Director has the full MS Excel app on his Windows 8 device, but I can't expect all of our clients to go and do the same, in business many of them will have the iPhone
We may have to change the way we produce the report because of Apple's failings here, and it's not the first time that we have had to change something because Apple devices can't display them properly
In business, submitting a potential job contract only for the recipient to get the wrong idea of the costs is a major concern

Website structure causing problems when creating livecopy based on a blueprint

Hi,
Our website structure goes like this:
company/
     products/
     services/
     contact us/
     etc...
Our site is single language and hence the structure. Now we have a problem when creating a livecopy (for mobile site) based on a blueprint.
It seems that for the livecopy (based on a blueprint) to work, the site structure needs to be like this:
company/
     en/
          products/
          etc...
It's too late for us to include another layer. What's the best way to create a livecopy based on a blueprint? Or should we just go with livecopy without the blueprint? But then are we missing out on the sync benefit from the blueprint?
Thanks!!

Hi Chaack,
Thanks for this idea. I have tried this before but couldn't get the livecopy to sync.
I tried to do it through the blueprint by right click and select 'rollout'. But nothing happens. The 'blueprint' tab on the page properties on the livecopy site is grayed out. I think the blueprint I created is not associated with the livecopy and that's why the rollout does not work. If the livecopy was created through 'Create site' then the blueprint is available to choose on step1. But not when you 'create live copy'. Is there anyway to link the blueprint to the livecopy if the livecopy was created through 'create live copy'?
Thanks!!!

Outline and Styles option grayed out when composing message in mail

When composing an email message using mail 6.2,I'm unable to view any styles options under the Format option in the toolbar as it's grayed out along with the Outline option. I do have the rich text button selected in my "New Message" toolbar in Mail and the text I want to apply the style changes to are selected.
I need to be able to use options like outline,superscript,subscript,etc. that are available in other email programs like Thunderbird without having to compose my email in TextEdit first,then copying and pasting it into Mail.Permissions have been repaired,and I have all of the latest Apple updates installed. Attached is a screenshot showing the grayed out areas in Mail.

Inspired Life,
In the five weeks since I posted the question,yours is the first comment(no comment from Apple).
I was able to find a work around for this issue by scouring the web for ideas,so this wasn't my solution.
Go to: http://presscheck.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/how-to-highlight-text-in-yellow-using -apple-mail/
While the example they make is for highlighted text,follow the guidelines to create other text styles as well.Once you've done that,they're available in Apple Mail.Just be sure to create a name for the each new style.

Menu positioning problem when viewing in Internet explorer on a pc

Hi guys,
I have created a website for a football team and I am having problems with the menu. It looks fine in all browsers apart from Internet Explorer. The menu positioning is meant to be on the left hand side but shows far right on the screen when viewed in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Hopefully someone can help.
Cheers,

Hummm....its difficult to tell. Youre using so many redundant css styles ie not needed.
Youre 'leftPan' <div> container is 140px in width but your ul (unordered list inside it is 244px wide?
Why set widths and heights when they are not needed. You have no idea what height the ul and li will be in other users browsers. A child element placed inside a parent container will stretch to the full width without specifying a width for the child element. The key to web deisgn is keeping all the maths 100% correct. If you so much as get anything out by even one px it could break the design.
#leftPan{
     margin-left: 90px;
     width: 140px;
#leftPan ul{
     width:244px;
     height:250px;
     background-position: 0 0;
     padding-top: 0px;
     padding-right: 0;
     padding-bottom: 0;
     padding-left: 0;
     margin-top: 1px;
     text-decoration: none;
I see no reason why your based structure ie the 'container', 'header', 'mainpic', sidebar1 and 'mainContent' should not work in all browsers. Now what you have inside those may be casuing the conflict. I would strip the page back to the base structure (check that it does work in all browsers) then begin to fill the containers, checking as you go.

Website renders slightly different when viewed in IE vs Firefox

Greetings,
The site is
http://www.ryanscafe.net
The issue: Side Gifs on each end of the web page render
differently in IE and Firefox. I built this site on a Mac with
Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I made the mistake of using tables. I
built a version that looked fine in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. But
had problems with the navigation buttons falling down a few
centimeters out of the header when viewed in IE. So since most
people browse in IE I adjusted the table sizes so the web pages
would work in IE. Only problem now is when you view the site in
Firefox, etc. the outer Gifs I used to frame the site won’t
fit without having the buttons repeat their movement and falling
out of place a few centimeters when viewed in IE. (If I make the
site render in the IE browser it has problems in Firefox with the
side Gifs. When the site renders well in Firefox the Navigation
buttons are out of place when viewed in IE.)
I tried shrinking the tables but still had the same problem
whatever size I made them. I tried a transparent Gif to push on the
cells and that didn’t work. I tried endlessly adjusting but
that hasn’t worked yet.
Any insight into resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Anyone?

Sapscript output(Spool) to PDF problem when viewed

We have a number of documents which are output in Russian using the Cyrillic courier font within our Uincode SAP system. They look fine on the spool when viewed, print okay, and all look fine when converted to a PDF file (using RSTXPDFT4) and viewed via Adobe PDF viewer (vers 9.1.20), except one form, the invoice, which will not display properly in Adobe, showing square blocks with crosses through them when viewed. The strange thing is that when this same PDF is viewed via Sumatra (Open source PDF viewer) it looks perfect, but will not display via the Adobe PDF viewer, even though all the other delivery/dispatch docuemnts (all Sapscript) print and view fine via the Adobe PDF viewer.
I guess I could suggest that we just use Sumatra from now on, but that is not really the answer when you have a multinational company which has Adobe already installed on all hardware as default.
Has anyone come across this problem before. I was wondering if there could be anything in Sapscript that might have caused this as this is a copy of SAP standard Russian Invoice Sapscript (J_3RVINVOICE)?
I'm going to check OSS to see if there's a fault with the PDF convertion program (RSTXPDFT4) but I would like to hear from anyone that may have encountered the same problem.
Regards
Gary

Hi Gary
How the issue is resolved, please let me know. Since i am also facing same issue.

Problems when viewing page in IE but not in Firefox - Help

Please help! I'm new to using tables in Dreamweaver. I built my page in Photoshop, sliced it and then opened it in Dreamweaver. It looks fine on my Mac but when viewed on a PC in IE it appears as though there are lines or gaps between the cells of my table. How do I fix this? How can I make sure this doesnt happen again? For reference, the problem can be viewed here: http://www.amscattle.com

Please help! I'm new to using tables in Dreamweaver. I built my page in Photoshop, sliced it and then opened it in Dreamweaver.
Bad news - that action alone accounts for some significant percentage of the posts here on the forum. The truth of the matter is this - the code that any graphics application writes is not usable for anything other than rapid prototyping. This means it's not suitable for any production work. Read this to discover one of the several reasons why that is the case -
http://www.apptools.com/rants/spans.php
Your gaps are a definitive proof of the brittleness of such table layouts.
A much better approach would be to use a graphics application for what it does best - make graphics. Build the page in DW. Read this to see a suggested method - http://www.apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php

Delaying when switching between apple mail and safari

just on mavericks.
it more or less looks and feel ok but...
when I switch between apple mail and safari, everything "freezes" for some seconds (up to 30).
anyone similar experiences?
what could be the cause of that?
its really disturbing.

I am a little puzzled by the libraries and switching between the libraries. My personal computer has the majority of the movies and content that would be transfered to the appletv. I chose to only select a minimal amount of content (of movies and tv shows, music via playlists) so there would be space left that would hold photos. Also, i just want to send over only what I want to view (manual synch) If I switch to my Kids library, it streams all the content well (movies & tv shows)(which is fine and streams well) If I switch back to my library, it shows every movie, every tv show, hundreds of music playlist that I did not choose to see. (stream mode) The only fix is to reboot the computer, and all is well. anyone experience this issue?

Title:
Mac Mail att htm issue in outlook
Question:
I'm using mac original mail software. I did set my HTML style template. The software is best ever.
And works good when I send email to outlook users on PC. However if I attach PDF for example, it does go through and outlook users get it, however when they open message all they see.
- attached PDF
- and att00001.htm file which has inside email text
Not everybody gets idea to open it and thy think it is empty email. The same email will be sent to apple user everything looks properly. Why email text is converting into the htm file? It happens only if i attach something to my message, if I don't then email text is not being converted to htm attachment.
I think there are a lot of user that know this issue, did anybody find a solution yet?
Thank you
jhyiesla:
I don't think there is anything you can really do about it.
I think that it's how the receivers program is going to interpret it.
For example, I sent an email to my Outlook account from my Mac with just an attachment; no text. I looked at the email in Outlook 2000 and I see the attachment as an item in the body text section of the email. When I look at that same email in Outlook 2003 the attachment shows in the attachment area under the subject line and the body text area is blank.
Then I sent another one with an attachment and some text in the body of the email. In Outlook 2000 I see the text in the text area and the attachment as well as a attxxx file in an area at the bottom of the email. The att file was empty. In Outlook 2003 that same email as the attachment and the empty att file in the attachment area at the top and under the subject line and in the body text area of the email is the text that I typed.
Although Mac Mail uses standard protocols, which is why you can send an email to a Windows PC, it just does some different things. In the WIndows world Outlook and Outlook Express also handle some things differently.
Goldblum:
Thank you for your reply
This issue makes mail.app useless, do you have any recommendations?
Other client which are as good as the mail.app or would be nice to know what is forcing to convert body text to attachment? I could reduce beautiness of my email template by taking out header (jpg) or not using rich text. What exactly is forcing outlook to convert body to attxxxxx.htm file?
jhyiesla:
I truly don't know the answer to that question. Sometimes similar things happen coming the other way. I'll get emails in to my Mac Mail that have jpg files and I'll see the actual pictures in the body of the email.
I happen to also have Office 2008 for the Mac installed and when I sent my self a message and looked at it in Outlook 2000 and XP, the email looked "normal" in all instances. The attachment was marked as an attachment, text was where it should be and no att file.
There are other email clients that would probably work on the Mac like Thunderbird... but I'm guessing that you'd have a similar thing as happens with mac mail. Still it might be worth the download to test it out.
Goldblum:
I used entourage and same HTML template for email and have no problems. It is just so that entourage is as any other MS product "broken" out of the box but did good job and same message is not being converted to HTML attachment when it goes to outlook on PC. I will continue researching internet because it has to be solved. I can't send a message to client without comment to attached invoice. This is so not professional. I will play more with settings of mail.app to see what else can be done to avoid conversion.
jhyiesla:
Entourage probably works well with Outlook because they're both MS products and MS is going to have somewhat similar looks to all their Office products... although there is quite a bit of difference between Entourage and Outlook.

ATT00001.htm attachment in Outlook when sent with Apple Mail - SOLVED!

Hi All,
We recently discovered the problem where emails with attachments sent from Apple Mail were being received in Outlook, blank but with BOTH the attachment and the email itself as an ATT00001.htm attachment!
I've discovered that the problem kicks in if the attachment is placed BEFORE the email message! If I write an email and then add an attachment AFTERWARD, ie. below the text, there is no problem.
I hope this helps...

Hi, you could try Universal Mailer plugin (http://noware-it.zxq.net), it solves this issue by correctly handling attachments. This also solves the problem for inlined images, which can now be correctly seen by recipients.
PS: following Apple's forum rules I have to state that, since I'm the developer of Universal Mailer, I might make some profits from it. Also, on the website you can find a free version of the plugin, which has some limitation but can be used to test its functionality.

Why are my sent items not stored when sending from Apple Mail?

Hello Apple Support Communities,
I am Using an iMac at my place of employment. It is running OSX Yosemite v10.10.2 . I am also using Apple Mail to connect to our Exchange 2010 Server. I do the same with my iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop using Outlook 2013. For a while now, several months in fact, It turns out that any emails sent from my iMac using Apple mail will not store a copy of it in my sent items on the server. They are not stored in the iMac account, the iPhone, the iPad, or Outlook on my Windows Laptop. However, any email sent from the other devices will have a copy stored in the sent items folder and it will propagate to all of my devices.
Upon investigating, I found myself looking through the tracking logs of my Exchange Server and found that Apple Mail and the iPhone send messages completely differently. I think this might be the source of my problem, but I have no clue whether I can fix it, or even where to start. Here is an image depicting the logs. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings. The messages will still be on the server.
2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
3. Reindex messages.
4. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
5. If you've created subfolders of any Exchange mailbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. For best results, a mailbox should have no subfolders.
6. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
7. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.
