Some incoming mails are totally unreadable after installing 10.6

Some, about 20%, of incoming mails are totally unreadable gibberish after I installed Snow Leopard on my Desktop MacPro. The same mail reads fine on my MacBook Pro (also now running 10.6). An example of such a weird mail is here:
ha sa S 7 s i ssho sb s s as s osg s h s skowassi wo sMag ssi s Ma s
Oiga sM ssag ... and so on and on.
If I copy the unreadable message and paste it into TextEdit it converts to other unreadable characters and numbers. If copied into a MS Word doc it appears as perfectly readable text.
Has anybody seen something similar?

OK, I think I have found a workaround for the problem. It is indeed a font issue... (thank you, William Lloyd, to point me in that direction!)
If you get an unreadable message switch to "Reply" or "Forward" and you will be able to read the message (make sure your own mailbox font or message font - set under Preferences>Fonts - is anything except Courier or Chicago) and you will be able to read your mail. Select the message text and go to Format>Go Fonts and switch to several other fonts. As far as I can see all fonts work OK except Courier and Chicago. Obviously Courier is a popular mail font, so all mails written with it arrive garbled. If I use Courier or Chicago as my Message List font in the preference settings, all mail windows become unreadable!
When I write a text in "TextEdit" and switch to Courier or Chicago - it will become unreadable. Possibly this happens in other applications as well...
However - this only occurs on my desktop PowerMac, not on my MacBook, which makes this glitch especially puzzling. I have not yet tried to re-insall OS 10.6.

  • Some webpage fonts are messed up after installing new fonts

    I've copied all of my fonts over into my .fonts folder, and since then some random fonts on webpages are messed up. Did I mess up a default font somehow? My default font on Namoroka is Serf size 16.
    Example: http://i.imgur.com/jNMpd.png
    Notice how the Twitter/Facebook/FeedBurner headings and descriptions are all small and cramped up looking.
    Thanks!

    See which fonts firefox is using:
    lsof | grep -i firefox | egrep -i 'ttf|pfb'
    Close down firefox, then open it and navigate directly to the page you're interested in, first.
    Some webpages, unfortunately, like to horizontally compress fonts, which can result in them looking horrible.

  • Can't send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks. Incoming messages OK.

    I'm unable to send mail in IMAP accounts after installing Mavericks.  Incoming is OK. Any suggestions on how to resolve, please?

    I'm afraid that I have the very same problem. How did Apple not see this. Surly email is a major part of any opperating system and should have being more than double checked before releasing. I understand software glitches but this is a major pain in the backside. I'm totally stuck and can't use my macbook pro

    Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple.  No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities.  If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

  • How do i set colors on javascript coding page, colors are not seen after installing Firefox version 8

    How do i set colors on javascript coding page, colors are not seen after installing Firefox version 8 . I am using WaveMaker application for web development

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

  • After migrating I can no longer define filter rules, as TB states "No available folders" - incoming mails are sorted according to the existing rules into folder

    I had to setup a new computer. I moved the profile data as described here. A new folder (just the icon) appeared out of nowhere (it can't be moved, renamed, deleted, etc.)
    When I highlight a message and select Message -> Create Filter from message, I can not create a rule to move mail to a folder, as the field where I can select the target folder is grayed and it says "No available folders", which isn't true, I have lots of folders, and existing rules that route incoming mail into the correct folders (which have been defined before the move).
    I can not exclude that this isn't related to the move, but to a newer ThunderBird version, as I do not create rules that often.
    I use ThunderBird for different mail accounts with different providers.

    Hello,
    I found the solution.
    For an unknown reason, one of my accounts was defective. I noticed that I did not receive emails from this account and found it that it had turned into that ghost folder.
    After deleting this account (and creating a new account instead), I can again create rules as before.
    I hope someone from the developers takes a look into this, it's quite embarassing.

    You are most certainly are in the wrong forum. I don't know a CS10gR35CoreUpdate of whatever Product of whatever company, and most certainly this has nothing to do with oracle forms.

  • Images in mail are not shown after ios8 update

    After update iOS8 the images attached in mails are not shown constantly, I configured my iPhone and iPad to show the images in mails but it is not working all time.
    The issue is with photos sent from my ip cameras, these are showing for one mail and for other not.
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually yes!
    I'm not familiar with fuse, but I found the action in line one of your third frame (on the main timeline) dubious, and a quick search lead me to try "portfolio._brightness = 0;" as first line (and I commented out the original line) that worked.
    My quess is that whatever template or original file you've been modifing/adjusting used some kind of color-fade in at that point, and you somehow broke it.
    To me it looks ok without it, but you let me know if you need further guesswork from me.
    cheers

  • Some USB ports no longer working after installing Mountain Lion?

    Some of my USB ports are no longer working after installing Mountain Lion onto my 21' 2011 iMac. I used to plug in my iphone 4S and charge it, or transfer files onto my iPad but none of the ports no longer work to do this. Funnily enough, other equipment plugged into the works. I have tried changing the cable. Any ideas?

    In my experience, the USB ports on the back of an Apple monitor can be re-enabled simply by unplugging and plugging back in the device in question. You might also check to see that the USB Monitor hub shows up in System Profiler. My Apple monitor USB ports experienced no changes in moving to 10.4.7.

  • RDL Reports are not working after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2 in the SharePoint integration Mode

    I am using Reporting Service Integration mode with SharePoint. SSRS is installed on separated machine of SharePoint stacks in Integration Mode. Everything was working properly and I could create/edit/modify RDL reports(parameters, Datasource, Subscription)
    inside SharePoint and Document Libraries.
    But after installing SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2, on opening RDL reports inside SharePoint I receive this error message. 
    The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation
    I should mention that SSRS is installed in the SharePoint integration Mode and there is no SSRS management console.

    Hi Hedayat-Abedijoo,
    According to your description, you are using Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated mode, and everything worked fine before you install SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 2. After the package is installed, when you open RDL reports, the error occurred: The
    permissions granted to user 'i:0#.f|membership|username' are insufficient for performing this operation.
    According to my search, there may be two reasons for the problem:
    This is caused when the application pool account that runs the SharePoint Web application you are on in IIS and the application pool account that SharePoint believes is running the site differ. This happens if the application pool account is changed directly
    in IIS instead of through SharePoint (using the approved method).
    This error can be caused when Kerberos authentication has been set up correctly and delegation in a double hop scenario will succeed, but Reporting Services integration has been set up for Trusted Account rather than Windows Authentication. This causes
    SharePoint to continue to impersonate the logged-on user when contacting Reporting Services; when Reporting Services compares the application pool account to the user account making the request, they are not equal.
    In this case, we can solve the problem by changing the application pool account in IIS back to the previous account and set AuthenticationTypes to RSWindowsNTLM only. For detail information, please refer to 8.3 “The permissions granted to user 'Domain\User'
    are insufficient for performing this operation” in the document:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee384252(SQL.100).aspx
    If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Mails are not displayed after migration to new iMac

    Hello!
    Today I migrated the contents of my old office iMac (G4, MacOS 10.4.11) to my new one (new 20'', MacOS 10.5) via FireWire.
    Unfortunately my mails are not displayed on my new Mac:
    I can see all my mailboxes on the left side, but the window, that should show the mails themselves is empty. I already took a look into the /library/mail folder and all my mails seem to be there.
    They are just not displayed.
    I use mail on that Mac with only one POP account.
    What could cause this behaviour?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Thomas

    I figured out niw, how to solve the problem:
    After the migration go to the Userdirectory-> Library -> Mail and delete the files:
    MessageRules.plist
    MessageRules.plist.backup
    MessageSorting.plist
    MessageSorting.plist.backup
    Then Mail works properly.
    (The only thing ist, that all filer rules are gone.)
