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.

Forms calling a rich text format (.rtf) file

Good day!
Suppose I made up a report from oracle forms then used the options 'generate to file' > XML.
Uses Microsoft Word 2010 with an add-ins 'Oracle BI Publisher' and make designs in my report then save it to .rtf (Rich Text Format).
My question is how can I call my reports and display it using oracle forms?

RTF files must be feeded by XML.
Your answer is not just that simple. Besides, I've search for it already.
Maybe my question to you is, is that possible?

SMTP error, cannot send mail

I just moved and have begun using RCN internet services. I use mail to access a .Mac account. Now, I can receive mail but not send mail. RCN insists it is a problem with .Mac's DNS and that they are not blocking port 25 nor smtp.mac.com. I can send and receive email from other WiFi hotspots. The error message I receive is this:
"Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail of change your network settings."

I save my .Mac account Sent and Drafts messages locally on the hard drive, I use Port 587 as the server port for the .Mac authenticated SMTP server and I haven't experienced the same.
This may be a problem with the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this is for a .Mac account if available at System Preferences > .Mac.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before (if your .Mac account information is re-entered automatically, check the .Mac SMTP Server Port field to confirm 587 is entered in place of 25), the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailboxes at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered and are available , you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
I have no need to store Drafts, Sent, Trash or Junk messages on the server in Mail so i store them locally on the hard drive. This is only needed if you access your .Mac account in Mail or with another email client on a another computer to keep the messages/mailboxes for the account synchronized with multiple email clients on different computers.

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...

Mail in Lion cannot save attachments in rich text format

I used to be able to save attachments in Mail with Snow Leopard if the "Include Attachments" option is selected and the mail is saved in rich text firmat. When I open the saved files using TextEdit, the attachments are included. However, I just discovered it is no longer the case with Lion, even with the "Include Attachments" option being selected. No attachments are saved with the text. Appreciate any enlightening suggestions. Thanks.

I share your problem........desperate to find a solution!

"smtp error" in webmail when sending mails

Hello,
"smtp error" in webmail when sending mails
why?

With the very little data offered, I can only give a general idea.
"smtp error" usually means that webmail isn't pointed to a smtp server for sending out mails.
Webmail normally (by default) points to the same box it's on for sending mails out. You can change the host and port with configutil.
Some versions of webmail must point to iMS, and other mail servers won't work. Since I have no idea what version you have, I can't tell if this is a problem.
Did it ever work?
What version are you using?

My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help

My iPhone 5 will not send photos but will send text. I went to settings and everything seems good to go but I cannot send photos to anyone via messages...please help

When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts.

Hoping for advice please. I have an iphone5 and cannot send group texts, it will only deliver if I send the text individually.
I cannot send photos via text message and if someone sends me a photo or long text it comes through to my e mail. Why?
Please help, I think they may all be connected.Thank you.

I've noticed that this only happens when one or more of the recipients I enter has an iphone and at least one of the others does not. The system seems to fail when it tries to send an SMS text message and an iMessage. The frustrating thing is that I don't get a chance to try to just send all as SMS texts instead.
The only way I found to get around this problem is to make sure that I send to two separate groups, one group with iPhones and another without. Two separate messages isn't ideal, and searching for who has an iphone and who doesn't is a pain, but... until they fix it, I'm afraid this is our only option.

I cannot send out text messages

I cannot send out text messages - I can receive them - cannot send them to a contact.
This contact has a multiple contacts ranging from gmail to facebook. I deleted all the contacts and now the contact can receive my text messages.
I noticed a small x in a circle to the right of the contact's name. A red x in a circle would appear and say my text messages not sent. I would resend - nothing changed.
Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix the contact so I can text without getting these messages.
The contact is not blocking me by the way - it is my spouse LOL
Thank you

Thanks to draya06 for your response.
Please try deleting all text messages from this person and resend. Do you have a signature on your outgoing text messages? If so please remove the signature and retry. If these don't work please PM me and we will further troubleshoot this issue.
Thank you

HT5625 I cannot send a text thru iMessage. I followed the directions over and over again but can't make it work. Also how can I find out all the apple ids I may have.

A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.
