Signatures & Attachments in Stationery

I personally like the stationery templates included with the latest version of Mail. However, I can't include personal signatures or attachments in messages that use any of the templates. I read that you can't include attachments unless it's part of the original template. What about signatures? Surely adding something as innocuous as a signature shouldn't be a problem. Then again, adding an attachment to a template shouldn't be a problem either, right?

Sorry this does not seem to work.  I use OS 10.8.2  on an iMac.  Right click on desktop's small icon does not show VIEW AS ICON.  View Menu at top of page shows view as icon but greyed out. After loading full image into page, size can be reduced by selecting SMALL in top RH box, but this moves any text to bottom of page.
One suggestion in Apple Support says Ctrl 1 should do the same as your right click but this did not work either.
I have no trouble with icons for text files as attachments.  These behave as expected.

  • Mail: signature, logo, attachments problem.

    Hi,
    my company moved to macs half year ago and we still have problems with mail. Anyway, we will try to solve this problem, maybe changing to other mail client. I will appreciate all suggestions. This is what we want:
    /----company logo.jpg----/
    text message.
    /----text signature----/
    attachments
    We want this signature to be universal for the most popular mail clients (Mac mail, outlook express, thunderbird). Everytime we send e-mail messages with signature like this, everything goes to attachments. When we were working with Outlook express, everything was fine, so I hope we can make it in mac mail too.
    Best regards,
    Tomas

    You really cannot do this. It is not so much a Mail problem. You are wanting to send a jpg in the signature block. You have no control over what the recipient will see. Even if the image shows up, it will also show that there is an attachment.
    In my day job, I use Entourage on a MPB.
    You send email to me. I get it and there is the logo in he signature block. It will display nicely, but I will also see there is an attachment. (This is not Mail.app's fault, it is how it is done.) I reply to you. The reply has your signature block in it if I include what I am replying to. You reply to my reply. Now there are two signature blocks and two attachments. Ans so on.'
    Logos are good on web sites and on paper correspondence. I wish I could convince you to not do this. And don't use "stationery" on email either.
    Again, it is not a Mail problem, per se. And you have no idea what the recipient will and will not be able to see.

  • Outlook 2013 - How do I utilize both Signatures and Stationery? Help!

    This is a bit of a weird one to describe as I've never really used stationery in Outlook so here goes.
    Employees utilize BOTH the signature and stationery. A standard block of (formatted) text is used in the signature and the stationery calls on an image hosted on our website. In Outlook 2003, this is handled beautifully. The signature comes first and the
    stationery (the image on the website) is appended to the end of the e-mail. This is a image strip is about 180x720.
    What gives? I've never seen stationery used this way so I'm a bit lost. Maybe there's a better way of handling this altogether?

    Hi Adrian,
    It’s quite easy, you can customize signature in Microsoft Outlook using the stationery and make it more attractive.
    Via using the “Signature” feature in a Outlook
    new message, users can add
    stationery factors on it like fonts, font's color, images, links etc.

  • KNOWN ISSUE: HTML Messages with plain-text signatures

    To get around the EAS security policy issue, I'm having non-sensitive emails from work forwarded to a GMail account from a redirect set up in our corporate OWA. The redirect seems to send the messages to GMail without any issues; formatting is 100% intact, and in the GMail web client as well as Thunderbird, Entourage, etc., HTML emails with plain-text signature attachments show the plain-text message inline with the rest of the formatted message. All of our internal mailing lists have these plain text attachments that say where the message was coming from (Message sent from [email protected] by listserv). These get affixed to every message, both plain text and HTML.
    Here's my problem: The Pre's email client handles both plain text and HTML messages beautifully. But, when I receive a message from a mailing list with a plain text attachment, the HTML portion disappears, and all I see is the signature.
    Is there any way to make the Pre show the HTML INSTEAD of the plain text? I can live without the sig, I know where the messages are coming from already. But if I can't read the message, it's useless. I've only begun researching this and so far Google hasn't been much help, nor has searching these or other forums. Any help would be appreciated.

    I just got off the phone with Palm Support. Apparently this is a bug in the mail application. It currently does not support parsing both HTML and plain text in the same message. It will read EITHER plain text OR HTML, but not both at the same time. This will be fixed in a future update.

  • Buggy stationery, recipients' blank replies

    Over the last couple of years, I've found Mac Mail's stationery to be a mixed blessing. While it can save me time when I have boilerplate I don't want to keep copying and pasting, it's also given me grief in a couple of big ways.
    One is related to attachments I include on e-mails that originated as custom stationery. Certain recipients tell me that after getting mail from me that has attachments, their own mail suddenly has text that's defaulted to white, so that while they can type, they can't see what they're typing. One of them uses Thunderbird, though I'm not sure the problem is limited to T-bird recipients. For the longest time I wasn't able to isolate the problem, but now I'm pretty sure it's happening only with stationery-generated mail I send. If I start a message without stationery and then include attachments, there isn't a problem.
    I found this out when my custom stationery quit working. I was suddenly not able to use any custom stationery without my Mail program hanging or crashing. This issue has been documented in the forums. And though there are some fixes and work-arounds, I was never able to get these solutions to work. I was only able to go back to using stationery when I upgraded from OS 10.5 to 10.6. And lo and behold, once I started sending people attachments with stationery again, they had the invisible text.
    Of course I'm looking for a solution to the invisible text problem, but I'm also just interested in whether others have experienced it. A quick search through the forums didn't turn anything up for me.

    Well, actually. . .
    118540 is the 6.2 patch line. All patches are "t-patch", until they're released to the public, at which point, they become "patches".
    118542 would be for Linux, just as 118541 would be for Solaris X86. These are UWC patches.
    Delegated Admin has:
    118210, 118211, and 118212
    Messaging has:
    118207,08, and 9
    As long as Messaging is at 6.2, we'll keep these same numbers. 6.3 will get a new one. The last 6.2 patch will get a -99, just like what we did for 6.1. Apply any 6.2 patch to a 6.1 system, and it upgrades it to 6.2...
    If you consider UWC to be a "1.0" product, you get a better picture of what's going on with it.

  • MAIL: The upgrade failed - error occurred during upgrade. launching Mail Import assistant  to repair damaged index did not work

    After installing Yosemite, the Mail required an upgrade. the upgrade was completed but resulted in a message: The upgrade failed. error occurred during the upgrade, check continue to launch Mail Import Assistant.
    This resulted in an instruction: Your mail index has been damaged. To repair it quit mail. Mail will repair index next time you open mail.
    Following this instruction resulted in the same failure message being repeated continuously.
    How do I proceed to upgrade the Mail app.?

    If doing as the alert directs (relaunching Mail) has no effect, see below.
    The new version of Mail stores its database in a different format than the old one, so the database has to be converted before Mail can use it. Sometimes the conversion fails because the old database is corrupt. The easy way to recover is to discard the old database and start afresh. You can do that without losing any messages, provided that:
    ☞ All your incoming mail accounts are on an IMAP or Exchange server
    ☞ You store sent messages on the server
    ☞ You don't have any "On My Mac" mailboxes
    Most well-known independent mail services such as iCloud and Gmail are based on IMAP. On the other hand, ISP-hosted mail services almost always use POP. If your ISP is one of your mail service providers (or the only one), you probably can't use this procedure. Ask for further instructions in that case.
    If you know that the conditions above are satisfied, continue as follows.
    Quit Mail if it's running. Back up all data.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder by holding down the option key and selecting
              Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Inside it is a subfolder named "Mail." Move that folder to the Desktop. You're not moving the Mail application; you're moving a folder named "Mail."
    Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and recreate your mail accounts other than iCloud with the same settings as before. To recreate an iCloud mail account, all you have to do is open the iCloud preference pane and check the box marked Mail.
    Launch Mail. If all goes well, your mailboxes should be restored automatically. The messages will be downloaded from the servers, so it may take a long time if you have very large mailboxes. Some people have mailboxes in the gigabyte range, and that may be a problem if your bandwidth usage is metered.
    If the mailboxes are created successfully, you can delete the folder you moved to the Desktop. You may have to recreate your Mail rules, signatures, and custom stationery. If it's very important to you not to have to do all that, ask for instructions before deleting the folder.

  • Mail can't index after upgrading to yosemite

    I am on a Macbook Pro, Yosemite 10.10. 2.53 Intel Core 2, 4GB Memory.
    A few weeks ago I updated to Yosemite from an older OS. All seems to be working fine, except for Apple Mail. It is having trouble indexing the mail. I did have a large storage of mail for my business and my personal. I don't know how to proceed. I did perform a backup via Time Machine.
    Here's what I did:
    When I try to open Mail, it says it needs to import messages. I click 'Continue'.
    After about 6 or 7 minutes, it appears to be done importing my 25K messages.
    I get a message saying it is upgrading my mail database and migrating my data.
    Then I get 'The upgrade failed. An error occurred durig the upgrade. Click Continue to launch the Mail Import Assistant, which will help you create a new library and import your existing messages.'. I click Continue.
    I get an error message saying, 'Your Mail Index has been damaged. To repair it, quit Mail. Mail will repair the index the next time you open Mail. Your mailboxes and messages will be preserved.'. This has not worked when I open Mail the next time.
    I have tried to go to Migration Assistant, but that did not seem to be what I was looking for. I cannot find where my mailbox folders are stored in order to delete several folders and their contents if I have too many stored messages.
    Please help. I am not sure what to try to get Mail to open and to recover my messages. Thanks.

  • Where are folders stored?

    Hello,
    This is in relation to my posting a couple of days ago. I successfully moved my abook.mab from my external hard drive 'old Thunderbird' to my 'new Thunderbird'. I also moved history.mab but am not sure what it is so I do not know how to test it.
    Now I am trying to locate and move all of my folders from the old to the new. I have several dozen folders which are subfolders of the main email folders such as - my family - is a sub folder of [email protected] Can someone tell me where to find these subfolders and what they are called? I am able to get to the xxxxxxxxdefault in the profiles but do not know how to locate the folders and their subfolders.
    Thanks

  • Mail Signatures, Folder Organization, Notification and Attachments not working the same since upgrade to Mavericks

    Hi All,
    Normally very quick to do so, I’ve been hesitant to upgrade to Mavericks based on so many issues being reported with Mail + Gmail. 
    Previously Apple released a fix for these issues and I still waited a while.  This weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and Mail is definitely not working as I’d expect it. 
    Some of the things I notice include:
    1) My saved mail folders, previously in alphabetical order, are now in reverse alphabetical order and dragging them to be in a different order has no effect
    2) Previously when I clicked on a message and pressed Message > Remove Attachments the message would reappear in my inbox within a second or two, without the attachment.  Now, the message simply disappears.
    3) The little red icon no longer appears in the dock when a new message arrives
    4) For my various accounts, signatures do not appear/disappear as I select a different From account (each of my accounts has different signatures).
    Does anyone have thoughts on any of these items?
    Thanks,

    Not an answer, but a repeat ...
    I too have problem (2) -- Remove Attachment now makes the email in question disappear (in fact moving it to Archive).
    Help would be appreciated.
    (Have just moved from Lion to Mavericks.)

  • Attachments versus signature when sending to Outlook

    Based upon my research, I imagine people will say the problem is on the Outlook end of things -- but I still want to know if there's a way to solve my "attachment vs. signature" problem better than the wonky workaround I've developed.
    FYI: we're running Mac OS X 10.6.6, and therefore have Mail 4.4.
    I recently switched a number of my users from Entourage to Mail. Now when they send messages with attachments to Outlook users (tested both Outlook 2003 and 2010), the images appear inline instead of as attachments. I've determined this is because they are sending in HTML or RTF format. Plain text makes the files show up as attachments on the other end -- however, it also converts their signature from body copy into a TXT attachment, even if there's no formatting at all in the signature.
    So I'm left with two options right now:
    1. Send in RTF or HTML format -- makes the signature show up right on the other end, but attachments appear embedded in the body. If you right-click on the image file and choose "save picture as", the save dialog box not only doesn't remember the original file name, but it also automatically defaults to BMP format, even if the original attachment was a JPG -- very bad!
    2. Send in plain text -- makes the attachments show up as actual attachments on the other end, but even a plain-text signature is converted into an attachment, which looks pretty stupid.
    The only solution I can find that works 100% of the time is a pain to do.
    1. Write your message.
    2. Select all the copy (including your signature) and cut.
    3. Make sure the message is in plain text format (if it wasn't already).
    4. Click in the now-empty body and paste -- this combines the message you wrote and your text signature into one chunk of text with no "signature" attached.
    5. Click after the end of the message (also after the signature).
    6. Attach your images.
    7. Send.
    I don't mind forcing my users to use plain text format all the time if it'll make attachments appear correct on the other end -- but having the signature converted into an attachment too is a hiccup I shouldn't have to also make them deal with. Does anyone know a better way around this?

  • Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

  • Transfer attachments and Digital Signatures,from a PDF, to Interactive Form

    Hi,
    I am developing an an application in WebDynpro Java.
    I have a requirement that a user A creates a new interactive form & fills some of the details, & then saves the form.
    User B then fetches the form & fills the remaining details.
    User A can add attachments & digitally sign the form(using digital signatures).
    When user A  saves the form, the application saves it in the JDT. The application fetches the pdf from the JDT & shows it to the user B.
    The problem is that, when the form is displayed to user B, i need to pass a variable(using context nodes) to the form, so that some of the properties(visibility,read-only,etc) of the UI elements(of the form) changes, depending on the variables' value.
    For this purpose, i need to use the Form for user B in ""UpdateDataInPdf" mode.
    But if i do this, then all the attachments, signatures saved in the pdf form(by user A), do not get transfered to the Interactive Form of User B!!
    How do i overcome this problem??
    I am using NW7.0 SP13.; Designer7.1, xACF is installed.

    Hi everyone,
    I solved this issue using the transferPDFDataIntoContext of the WDInteractiveFormHelper class.
    The AIF mode must be set to usePdf.
    I hope it will be useful.
    Regards,
    Mirco

  • Can't send mail with Signatures or Attachments

    Since installing the Update 10.4.6, I have been unable to send email to my pop account which has either a signature or an attachment. I have cleared the caches using tiger cache cleaner (the reboot took forever and I had to cancel and restart so I'm not sure it worked). I have tried adding a new user. It doesn't work in Entourage either. I've read I need to reinstall mail - can you tell me how to do that? What else do you recommend?
    Prior to installing the update, mail worked great for over a year!
    Powerbook G4 -12"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    The plot is getting thicker here. Mail will send mail without attachments, but as soon as i add an attachment, it will not send.
    I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which i just installed. All my accounts are IMAP, aol or bought domain name email addresses.
    ie email address ****@aol.com & *****@p****y.com, with standard smtp addresses. ie smtp.aol.com or smtp.p***y.com.
    I set up mail on another mac in the house and it works fine. (thankfully these are imap accts which transfer easily). I cannot even attach in a web browser.
    I have repaired permissions, updated all software, safe booted, tried another persons Imap acct, (still no success) and even tried the terminal fix.
    My next step is to format and reinstall but not looking forward to that.
    I became very concerned when i couldn't nail it by installing thunderbird.
    The only change that has happened recently is that i have switched from ADSL to ADSL2+, still running airport although same problem occurs when hardwired directly to the modem. The problem solely lies in this computer (it is a black macbook).
    I am absolutely baffled. Even connection doctor says all is well.
    Any thoughts?
