Sending garbled messages

Hi there, my friends have been tearing their hair out lately because of emails I have been sending them. I think it is all to do with the way I have been forwarding on emails with attachments.
Under the older OS I was used to dragging and dropping attachments, pics etc to the desktop and then dragging back into new emails. When I do this now my recipients are receiving emails with blank "subjects" and sometimes blank "froms". The emails are totally full of garbled text.
I now realise that I should simply press "Forward" then edit the emails to get rid of the garbage and then " Send".
Is this something that Leopard Mail has changed ? Has anybody else had the same problem ? Are there any more details I should be aware of when forwarding attachments etc ? Thanks for any advice.

I think the problem was my fault in the way I was forwarding messages. Now resolved and no more troubles.

  • Garbled messages

    We are using JavaMail api to send emails through SMTP. The messages we send are in HTML format. It works fine normally but occassionally we are getting garbled messages. The content itself looks fine (without any special characters etc.). One peculiar thing is many of the email addresses in the To list appear as part of mail body in this garbled mails. After the list of addresses, following kind of text appears:
    Mime-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
    boundary="----=_Part_15_7597281.1166030716159"
    We use Oracle 9i AS. Is it any bug in api implementation?
    Please let me know if anyone has faced this before and found a solution.
    regards,
    Kamesh

    You've probably included a newline in the Subject text or in the
    personal name used with one of the addresses. This will cause
    a blank line to be inserted in the header, which ends the header,
    causing all the following text to appear as the body of the message.

  • Any other way to send alert messages to Screen?

    I currently use ical to store messages that pop up every day, M-F at the same time to give me inspirational messages to make me more productive. The problem is, I fill up the calendar time slots to set up these message reminders. I know there are other apps that send text messages but they are usually garbled with other kinds of syntax that makes the inspiration message, less inspirational. If iCal ever gets tasks with reminder alarms it will solve this problem. In the meantime, does anyone have other ideas?
    Thank you for your help!
    Will

    You can use the Alarm function in the Clock App - alarms can be given names. You could even set the alarm sound as an inspirational ringtone...

  • I cannot open iCal because of a problem. Can anybody help me? The computer will not allow it to open and sends a message to apple each time. The icon has gone from the dock, but ical works on my iPad and I am afraid to sync it with my computer.?

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

  • I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up und one account.

    I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

  • Cannot send email via AOL on iPad2 - "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

    My CEO has an ipad2 and I set it up w/ AOL.  She cannot send any email via her AOL account from her iPad.  She gets a message that says "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."   We've tried it on wifi and on 3G (Verizon version).  I've removed the account and added it, I've tried setting it up as an IMAP account vs. using Apples standard AOL mail setting and nothing seems to work.  The SMTP settings are smtp.aol.com, port 587.  I've tried adding an alternate server/smtp, but I haven't been able to find anything that works.  Any advice or other people having this issue?  It works fine sending an email from her aol web mail.  And unfortunately, having her sign up for a gmail account is not an option.  Thanks

    Interesting.  Firstly I have been on AOL since the early 90s with no current intention to switch as my primary personal email account.
    I have two email accounts on my iphone - AOL and my email from my business website.  I deleted both and then recreated first the business account and then the AOL account.  Same error.  Then I wasn't sure what you suggested but I turned off the AOL SMTP server and selected the business email SMTP server by turning it on with the same result.  I still get the error "A Copy has been placed in your Outbox.  Sending the mssage content to the server failed."
    Perhaps this problem will get fixed by IOS 6.   AOL will not talk to me unless I pay and Apple says its not their problem.  So for the time being I use the AOL web interface in the iPhone's Safari to send emails from the phone.

  • TS3899 Tried all the tips on line. Every time I try to send an e-mail, it gives me this message, "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed" Any help in how to resolve would be appreciated

    I went through all the steps to try to resolve getting the message in a box every time i try to send an e-mail. What next ?
    Message is " A copy has been placed in your
                        Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My internet works fine as I can send e-mails from my Yahoo account on my MAC no problem.
    Address is fine etc.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

  • Can't send text messages (can only recieve). How do I change Service Center Number

    Hello. As my subject states, i can't seem to send text messages (but i can receive them). I'm told by my carrier that i need to change my service center number (and they provided it). I've been looking all over the phone for this option, and can't seem to find it. I keep seeing posts saying "On your device: Options > SMS > Service Center." but "service center" does not appear when i go to options>SMS text. I see the following; screen options conversation style: show names: message options priority: callback number: disable autotext: so my question is;, where do i find this?
