Some email script is changed to unreadable!

Not all mail is unreadable, just some. It comes in an looks like the script used to show how words are pronounced... the script with accent marks, backwards b's and unusual (to me) symbols. If I email the note to my gmail account the script returns to roman letters and I can read it. I do not understand why "Mail" is acting this way. It seems the type is readable when sent, unreadable in Mail, forwarded to Gmail and readable again! Anyone else have this issue? I am wondering if it is a Vista setting and if it will become more pronounced as more people change to Vista; if it is a setting on the sender's computer for an unusual font; it happens from two (currently) emails I receive as subscriptions and you will note I did figure a workaround, but I'd rather know what is up.

this began within the last two months only.

This could be a font issue. Mail is probably substituting the wrong font for a similarly named font. Take a look at the following article:
Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
Make sure first that the required fonts are installed in the right places and enabled in Font Book. Use Font Book to validate fonts and resolve duplicates. Get rid of Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic if you have any of those fonts installed.

  • I created an email script in AppleScript, but it is not working.(Read below as well)

    I created an email script in AppleScript.
    Here is the code:
    set recipentNamePrompt to display dialog "What is the name of the recipient?" default answer "Cookie Monster"
    set recipientAddressPrompt to display dialog "What is the email of the recipient?" default answer "[email protected]"
    set subjectPrompt to display dialog "What is the subject of the email?" default answer "Change Cookie Recipe"
    set contentPrompt to display dialog "What would you like to put in your message?" default answer "Cookie Monster want MORE chocolate chips in cookies!"
    set recipientName to recipentNamePrompt
    set recipientAddress to recipientAddressPrompt
    set theSubject to subjectPrompt
    set theContent to contentPrompt
    --Mail Tell Block
    tell application "Mail"
      --Create the message
              set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent, visible:true}
      --Set a recipient
              tell theMessage
      make new to recipient with properties {name:recipientName, address:recipientAddress}
      --Send the Message
      send
              end tell
    end tell
    But when I type in my info, the created message is written in Chinese. Someone please help me!

    The result of a display dialog is a record that contains the properties button returned, text returned (if default answer is used), and gave up (if giving up after is used).  Since you are passing the entire record to the Mail fields, it looks like it is getting interpreted as some Unicode text.  The solution is to get rid of your intermediate prompt variables and just get the desired property (the text returned), for example:
    set recipientName to text returned of (display dialog "What is the name of the recipient?" default answer "Cookie Monster")
    set recipientAddress to text returned of (display dialog "What is the email of the recipient?" default answer "[email protected]")
    set theSubject to text returned of (display dialog "What is the subject of the email?" default answer "Change Cookie Recipe")
    set theContent to text returned of (display dialog "What would you like to put in your message?" default answer "Cookie Monster want MORE chocolate chips in cookies!")

  • Some emails from a particular sender causing Outlook 2010 to hang, task manager shows memory use spikes

    Posting this to the Exchange forum because I'm hoping there's a server-side solution.
    SOME emails received from an external sender (gmail.com address, not sure the mail client) are causing Outlook 2010 to hang when trying to open the email.  Outlook becomes non-responsive when viewing the email through the preview pane or by double-clicking
    the email.  If I open Task Manager I see that the outlook.exe process memory use starts increasing very quickly.  As far as I know the only resolution is to end the task and re-open Outlook (and avoid that email).
    I've found several excellent threads on these same symptoms, but there seems to be a variety of causes.  I've tried a bunch of things so far:
     - Tried opening from another system on our network running Outlook 2010, same issue. 
     - Tried opening from OWA, opens fine.
     - Tried exporting the email to a PST, then opening from a completely different system outside of our network, but still running Outlook 2010, same issue.
     - Tried exporting the email to a PST then opening from a completely different system outside of our network, running Outlook 2013, email opens fine.
     - Tried setting Outlook to open all emails as PLAIN TEXT, opens fine.
    Systems are running the latest Outlook 2010 SP and patches, and running a variety of OS's.  Only common denominator seems to be Outlook 2010.
    I was hoping to find a way to convert incoming emails from this sender to open as Plain Text using a Hub Transport rule, but cannot find a way to do it.
    Unfortunately I have no control over the sender, so don't know what could be triggering the problem.  
    Can anyone advise on a possible solution?  Any way to someone convert emails from a particular sender to Plain Text automatically?

    Either you inform the sender to configure in sender's outlook to send only to you in plain text please check this
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-or-plain-text-HA101992313.aspx
    Or
    Call a macro in your outlook example below. Please check
    this for details
    Dim msg As MailItem
    For Each msg In myNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
       If msg.Unread = True And _
         msg.SenderName = "Linda Cooper" Then
    Item.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
       Else
         ' Message doesn't meet criteria.
       End If

  • Outlook 2013 - Read emails keep switching back to Unread

    I have this weird problem with 2013 Outlook client and Exchange 2010 where on random some of read emails will switch back to unread state. Its very annoying specially when you have executives sending you emails and you can't tell if this is a new one or
    one that you read and took action on.
    Company's desktop support folks say that there is nothing wrong with my exchange account. I told them it has to be my account/maillbox or some setting on exchange as this is happening on two different machines. One is a windows 7 pro laptop, the other one
    is windows 7 pro desktop. both 64bit version of windows but 32bit version of outlook/msoffice 2013.
    I only installed outlook on the desktop to see if my outlook on laptop was the culprit. but since both clients are behaving the same way.. it has to be something on the exchange side.
    Appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks.
     

    Hi Apple,
    The issue could occur if the sync between the Outlook client and OWA is not completed or the Outlook data file in the Outlook client is corrupted, every time when syncing to OWA, it will change the status back to “Unread”. To narrow down the issue, please
    try the steps below:
    Disconnect all the clients connected to the account except OWA.
    Make the message as read in OWA, then check if the status will be changed back.
    If not, open Outlook, then check if  the status will be synced to Outlook.
    If the status changes to unread again in OWA, it could be related to Outlook.
    In addition, you can also try to re-create outlook profile and check if any helps.
    Best regards,

  • Script to change the priorty of all rules and monitors in a Management Pack

    Script to change the priority and severity  of all rules and monitors in a Management Pack in an override MP .We are deploying an MP in production and don't want the helpdesk to take any action on any alerts, so want to set all of them as informational.Once
    they are reviewed then we will delete that override mp
    Can some one help me with a script
     

    Is this MP sealed?  Doesn't really matter..  Unseal the MP if it is sealed.  Now you have access to the RAW XML.  Alert severity and priority have xml tags.  You should be able to do a search and replace and change all the various
    levels (0-3 or whatever they are) to the levels and priority you want.
    Then you can seal the mp with your own key, or just roll it into prod as an unsealed MP.
    This seems, to me, like the quickest and easiest way to make all of these changes at once.  To bulk override everything, not even sure it's still around or even works, there was a tool called Override Explorer, and you could select multiple monitors/events
    and create overrides.  I can't remember very much about the tool because we didn't use it much, but I think it did this with live data, meaning it connected to your management server, and you made the changes in real time.  
    Of course you wouldn't want to do this in production, so do it in a lab, then export the override mp and put it in prod.
    There is probably some snazzy way to do this with PoSh, but I am not aware of any atm.

  • Some emails are there when searching, but do not show up in inbox for mail account. How do we permanently fix that? This is dangerous for businesses that rely

    Hi, and thanks,
    I noticed that many dozens of others have expressed the same problem with Thunderbird, but it still continues.
    For no apparent reason, sporadically, some emails don't show up in the inbox list of an account, but are actually there. If we're told later that someone sent one, and if we do a search at that time, it does come up!
    We rely on this for business, and wouldn't know to search if we are unaware that an email has come in but simply doesn't appear in the list. We have actually lost significant business $ on 3 separate occasions, from clients who have said they emailed us, but we never responded! (That's really bad, and even worse because they also won't use us any more.)
    Obviously, we of course would not want to have to check with the webmail host when we have Thunderbird. So...., how can we permanently fix this problem so it never, ever occurs??? We used to use Eudora before switching, and this never happened.
    Some blogs say to delete one of the files in the system to re-index the inboxes, but again, that would not be the answer, because we wouldn't know to do that, nor when to do that, since some emails, without a warning or clue, occasionally simply don't show up in the list at all.
    Please let us know the permanent and complete fix for this ASAP.
    Thanks so much,
    Les Pock

    Lers, I have used Thunderbird for the best part of a decade and have only once experienced something similar to what you describe and it was a corrupt database.
    So lets just back up a bit.
    If you want mail to flow without issue the first bullet to bite is anti virus.
    * Scanning of outgoing mail is a total waste of time and an added risk for no return. You anti virus already certifies your machine clean.
    * Scanning of incoming mail is of extremely limited value. Thunderbird does not allow scripts in email, so there is no bug that will junmp out and start running even if your mail is not scanned and it contains a virus. The exception to that is attachments. But they are not dangerous either, unless you try and open them. Even then your anti virus should be monitoring the temporary folder on your computer and blocking any attempt to write the infected file, let alone execute the contents.
    * Scanning of your mail folder likewise is of limited value, but is more than often the cause of mail indexes not being updated. These days anti virus program appear to scan everything. Every file as it is accessed and opened. Thunderbird often has quite large files to store mail, up to 4Gb is not all that uncommon. Anti virus program take about 2 minuted per Gigabyte to scan files. So it can be the case that the anti virus is scanning while Thunderbird is timing out waiting for access to the appropriate files.
    To make things more efficient exclude your Thunderbird mail profile folders from on access scanning by your anti virus program. The folders contain NO executable programs, and a weekly scan along with the rest of your computer with Thunderbird closed should be more than adequate. Perhaps scheduled for1am Friday. Gives Friday to deal with anything found and does not interrupt your use of the device.
    A similar exclusion can also be beneficial for other data storage areas (databases especially)
    Finally look at what processes run on your computer. there aerew by default about 40 when it is new and over time this grows with almost every security, office or game you install until your computer is so busy running background processes to check if the latest versions of XXXX has been released that it becomes sluggish and performance on most things is degraded (That common nugget of Windows computers getting slower over time is TRUE, but a large part of that is added processes and security software which is actually reducing performance quite extensively.)
    BTW right clicking a folder, selecting properties and the repair button rebuilds the index non destructively as deleting the files as you mention also looses tags.

  • My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in but not make purchases from the store so I set up a new login/account .  Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

    My itunes account was disabled for some reason.  I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work.  I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Disable email notification of changes of events in iCal?

    I have a shared calendar that some of my colleagues subscribe to on iCal.  Whenever I make a time change to an event or add a new event on my shared iCal, one of my colleagues gets an email notification about it (sometimes he's getting 10 emails a day about my iCal).  Is this a setting I can change on my end or is it something that he needs to change. (BTW - I am not getting any of these emails)
    Thanks so much!
    Lauren

    Hi Lauren.  I think I figured this out.
    I share my calendar with my wife and two kids.  One kiddo was upset he got so many calendar changes.  The other didn't get any emails.  From what I found, your colleague needs to do this in iCloud (I hope this is how you share calendars or I'm wrong!).
    Once your colleague logs in to his iCloud account and goes to his calendar, click on the green 'broadcast' icon to the right of YOUR calendar (your calendar should be listed on the far left side of his iCloud calendar window).  Once they do this, a pop-up window should appear and a check box at the bottom of the window says 'Email me when this calendar changes'.  Uncheck that and they shouldn't get any more emails when you change times on your calendar.  The downside is I don't think they'll get an email alert when you create an event as well.
    I hope this helps.

    The default user account picture is stored here.
    C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
    It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
    or....
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
    You can also configure this by a registry setting;
     [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
      UseDefaultTile = 1
    The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
    behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

  • Can I script the changing of creation date, using the file name?

    Normally people are doing this in reverse, but let me paint the picture.
    I pulled 204 video files from an old HDD based JVC camera.  JVC records in .MOD format which iPhoto won't import.  I imported them into iMovie just fine, and iMovie even set the file name to clip-2007-11-04 04;42;29.mov which is great, but it now has a new creation date of whatever date I imported it.  Which then causes problem when I want the videos stored in iPhoto and sorted appropriately by creation date.
    I've used the application "A Better Finder Attributes 5" to individually edit the creation and modify, but I'm sure I don't want to do this 203 more times, as you can't just type in the date and time, you have to type in each part of the date/time, or select it on a calendar.
    I've used the application "Name Changer" to batch convert the file names to the format YYYYMMDDhhmm which would be helpful if I were going to use the terminal command touch -t, but again I don't want to have to type it in 203 more times, plus drag and drop the file into finder to populate the location.
    Now, if I were more handy with automator, or maybe some (any) scripting language this would be easy peasy.  I'd batch rename all the files to the YYYYMMDDhhmm.mov and then have a script that just took the file name, passed that to touch -t along with the file location, and a few seconds later, they would all be done!
    Anybody have any suggestions to how I can do this, and tips to what commands to use or ANY advice?  I'm more than happy to RTFM, but I have no idea which manual to read!
    Thanks

    If your file names are precisely as you have written, this script will do what you want.
    Copy the script into an AppleScript Editor document, select one or more files in a Finder window, return to the AS Editor and press Run.  Note: you will need to provide your password when the script runs.
    Make sure you have a backup of any files you are working on (try using duplicates first, perhaps). The script has no error handling.
    tell application "Finder"
              set FileList to selection
              repeat with theFile in FileList
                        set fileName to name of theFile
                        set filePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (theFile as alias))
                        set crYear to text 6 thru 9 of fileName
                        set crMonth to text 11 thru 12 of fileName
                        set crDay to text 14 thru 15 of fileName
                        set crHour to text 17 thru 18 of fileName
                        set crMins to text 20 thru 21 of fileName
                        set crDate to crYear & crMonth & crDay & crHour & crMins

  • Render and Email script

    Hello everybody. I have a question that I have thoroughly researched on the web with no results.
    I am trying to get the default After Effects "Render and Email" script to run properly. I have only been able to successfully send FROM one specific email address TO another (slightly less specific) email address. Most other email services I put in (icloud, gmail, etc) all give strange errors upon execution.
    For the SENDING email address, I'm currently using one I created that is a part of my web hosting account (this is the only account I am able to successfully send from). For RECEIVING, I've only successfully gotten my gmail address to work. All other receiving addresses don't always give me error, but also never show up. Either that, or I get very weird errors. The most common one I get is "Unaable to send mail. 533 5.7.1 AUTH command is not enabled."
    I haven't been able to find this error documented anywhere online. I'd like to be able to send emails to my icloud account, since it pushes email notifications to my phone in real time.
    Long ago someone by the name of Ko Maruyama supposedly explained all this in detail, but the writeup was posted on a .mac website (http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials/AE/AE_javamail/AE_mail.html), which Apple officially discontinued/took down several years ago.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    For Mac, the path is of course slightly different. If you cannot delete the file, you should at least be able to edit it in Extend Script Toolkit or any text editor or run the script separately to change its config data. Works for me...

  • Some emails, that are on my server, do not appear in my thunderbird listing (or do appear one day and not thereafter), why?

    I seem to be loosing some emails. They may (or may not) appear once in the thunderbird listing, but thereafter they are gone. These, typically are from the same source that have previously been received (ie follow up emails) but, once gone from the listing, are not grouped with the previous email or put in the TRASH file.

    There are several possible reasons that messages seem to 'disappear'.
    There are two types of email accounts: IMAP and POP. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/glossary-terms-including-types-accounts
    If you have a POP account and are accessing the mail on more than one computer or smartphone, whichever device reads (downloads) the message first will have it locally, but it will no longer be listed or available on the other devices.
    If you have an IMAP account, the message stays on the server, but if one device (user) moves or deletes the message, it will affect the view on all devices. So, for example, if you are using your smartphone and take some action on an email, when you get back to your computer, it will reflect that same action (but you might not have realized what caused it).
    Another, less likely, reason for messages not to show up in your inbox is having the preference set to show only unread messages. Then once you read them they seem to disappear.

  • TS4002 Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.

    Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.
    They are present for about a second, display as notified, but are not going to junk or Trash.
    The problem doesn't affect all emails and seems to be restricted to some senders.

    What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
    Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
    Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.
