Sending Rich Text Emails - Default Message font doesn't work!

I have just set up Mail to compose Rich Text emails as default which seems to have worked okay. However, I have set the default Message font as 'Arial' and it doesn't seem to work when sent to Microsoft Outlook. However if I set the text to a different font and then back to arial when composing it works fine.
I just looked at the raw source of the email and it doesn't actually state in the HTML that the font is set to Arial by default, only when it is manually changes when composing. It may display correctly in Mail but with more users on a windows based machine using outlook this is no good! I don't want to have to change the font manually every time!
Anyone got a fix for this?

Are there no fixes for this?
In my eyes this is a major problem and certainly something that is making me consider moving away from Mail...

SMTP error (cannot send) when sending rich text format (RTF) messages

I HAVE POSTED THIS TOPIC IN THE TIGER > MAIL & ADDRESS BOOK DISCUSSION AREA
because most of my users are using OS X 10.4.11 & OS X 10.4.10 with Mail 2.1.1 & Mail 2.1
but this ALSO AFFECTS the two LEOPARD users I have using OS X 10.5.1 with Mail 3.1.
This is just a notification. Please carry on the discussion "back" there.
Thanks. Jeff.

Please see my last post in Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Mail and Address Book under same topic heading for solution.

Mail & Contacts: "Italic" doesn't work on default message font

On Mail Preferences/Fonts and colours I set the default message font as a Calibri Italic 15.
Now, the problem is that opening a new message I get Calibri 15 BUT NOT Italic. I have to make it manually...
Does anyone know why this happens and the way to solve this issue?
Thanks

There is a way around this (thanks to apple for responding to my bug submission) but it's slow. Test to see if the glyphCode created is greater than zero or not:
final FontRenderContext fontRenderContext = new FontRenderContext(null, false, false);
char[] array = new char[1];
array[0] = (char) intvalueofchar;
GlyphVector glyphVector = glyphFont.createGlyphVector(fontRenderContext, array);
int glyphCode = glyphVector.getGlyphCode(0);
boolean validchar = (glyphCode > 0);I only need to do this on the mac; on windows it does the right thing without this. If anyone has any suggestions for speeding it up (I already have it running in a thread), that'd be great - but thought I'd post it here for anyone else who might run into the same problem some day.

Rich Text Email taking lot of time opening in outlook

Hi,
We faced this issue where rich text email with embedded images taking lot of time opening in outlook.
Outlook even hangs and it takes 2 to 3 minutes to open.
We are using exchange 2010 SP2 and issue comes with Outlook 2007/2010 both in online mode.
Size of the mail is usually 2-3 MB.

Hi,
I would like to verify if this problematic email is from your organization at first.
About rich text, I would like to clarify the following things:
1. We can use Rich Text when we send messages inside an organization that uses Microsoft Exchange, but it is recommend to use the HTML format.
2. When you send a Rich Text Format message to someone outside your organization, Outlook automatically converts it to HTML, so the message keeps its formatting and its attachments.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
Best regards,
Amy

How come when I send a text to a group it doesn't say "Delivered"?

Green messages are SMS messages sent to non-iOS devices or iOS devices that do not have iMessage enabled. They go through your carrier and count towards your SMS limit, if any.
Blue messages are messages sent to other iOS devices (Iphones, iPods, Ipads) and Macs through Apple servers and are therefore not SMS charged by the carrier.

The "always match my default message font" option in the Signature preferences from Mac Mail does not work if e-mail is received in other Mail Software. How can I make it work?

I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems. It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

Embedding fonts - doesn't work

Another day, another Flash Catalyst problem.
I check the box to embed fonts when I publish, only when I preview my output they are nowhere to be seen. Bottom line, Flash Catalyst doesn't work on a Mac. I've had nothing but problems. This program isn't ready for prime time at all. I've used betas of programs that are much more polished than this. I believed that there wasn't suppossed to be major issues when using FC with 10.7 Lion.
That's not true, this program is so broken and flawed and such a frustration to use. Adobe can't be bothered to update even though they've had access to Lion for months. If they can't make a program that works then why bother releasing for the Mac platform at all?
Lets see:
1. Placeholders don't work.
2. Importing Illustrator files doesn't work.
3. Publishing with embedded fonts doesn't work.
These aren't minor issues. They are MAJOR PROBLEMS!!! How did Flash Catalyst see the light of day on the Mac? Why was it released? Are these problems isolated to 10.7? Why aren't these MAJOR DEALBREAKERS listed? Can anyone at Adobe stand up and admit that this Flash Catalyst on the Mac is a total fiasco?

I am sorry you are having trouble. I'm not running Lion on my Mac (issues with LDAP and a corporate network). With something like you are describing I would try two things before contact Adobe support. The first would be to try a fresh install. Maybe the OS upgrade wonked something. The other thing I would make sure is that my JAVA runtime is up to date. Flash Catalyst is built on Eclipse, which in turn in built on JAVA.
Beyond, that these issue are more that I can help with.

How do I send Plain Text email and view HTML email as Plain text

On the Z10, how can I send a plaintext email message?And how can I view an email message as plain text?

I agree with everyone else here. For Blackberry NOT to allow text email just seems ludicrous. It is the kind of thing Apple would do to their hypnotized fans. Surely it isn't up to Blackberry to dictate how people send and receive email. There job is to enable people to work in the way that they want to work, which for many people means TEXT only emails. Like others I have run into problems using systems that expect text only emails (e.g. Toodledo) and just figured I would switch the Z10 to text mode. Shocked when I found out I couldn't. I really like my Z10, but can't help but feel in some ways Blackberry have made massive backwards strides, e.g. Blackberry Protect, Blackberry Connect (is that the thing that connects it with the playbook - I can't remember as I stopped using it when I realized all the features had vanished), etc. Come on Blackberry, we want killer features in the Z10 and not features killed :-)

Moved iPhoto to ext hd. want to send photo by email or message

I moved iPhoto to an ext HD. When I try to send a photo from there via email or message a message to the effect of: if you send this photo you will loose text and position. What does this mean, is it important? The option to continue is available, but I dont want to loose the photo.

That is not an iPhoto error message that I am aware of - what is the exact error message? what version of iPhoto? what email client are you using?

Am unable to send photos by email or message

Unable to send photos by email or message

Hi,
Ok, adding your email address to my contact list didn't change anything.
The good news is that your email from your gmail account did get through. It was marked as junk mail but when I declared it safe, the photo appeared.
I looked into the message content for the ones that didn't work and I think the photo is actually still part of the data. It is as though the message header has been corrupted somehow. Since it happens with your service provider but not mine, it suggests that your service provider is perhaps corrupting the header.
I'm not sure how we can get this resolved as the fault could be with Adobe, your service provider or other service providers.
I think the workaround of using your gmail account is probably the best way to go.
You do get a lot of snow there. I live in the UK on the south coast near Southampton. All I have seen is a very light dusting of snow and that quickly disappeared. There were a few local accidents due to the icy conditions. I supposed that the snow is part of your life there - for us it is an exception and so we are not prepared for it.
