Strange results when receiving mail sent form mail.app

Hi all,
I've searched these forums for an answer to this problem but I didn't find anything that seemed to fit the bill.
I'm using the latest version of mail.app 2 with updates applied running in 10.4.3.
I'm using Gmail as my mail server but have the same problem with other email servers I have tried.
When I send mail to my work account (based on an exchange server) I'm getting some strange results. I'm using Windows 2000 and Outlook 2003 at work.
When I send an (new) email with an attachment then all text that I write below the attachment in the email, when received through exchange at work, becomes an attachment its self. If this is a plain text email then the attachment is a text file, if it's a rich text email then the attachment becomes a webdocument (HTM). This is not the desired result!
Similarly, if I reply to or forward an email, any text below new text I type into those emails becomes an attachment rather than an actual reply (with that attachment either a text file or a webdocument as stated above).
My question therefore is how can this be corrected. It's rather annoying to have half my message cut off if I put an attachment half way through the email I am composing (I guess i could attach it to the end below all text and signature). Equally frustrating is having replied or forwarded text appear in an attachment.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi all,
Picture of what I describe above, thought it might help clarify what the issue is:

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it displays OLD photo instead.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it now displays OLD photo that had been received and saved instead. Why and how to rectify?

This problem only applies when attempting to receive photos that were sent in special format from iPhoto. No problem receiving photos sent as attachment to normal e-mail.

IPhone making strange sound when receive all types of message.

I've bought my iPhone 4S last week and it started making a really strange sound when receiving all sorts of messages (e-mail, whatsapp, sms). The sound is the sound I selected for each one but it loops 4 or 5 times everytime! What can it be?

If no change after powering your iPhone off and on, try an iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. An iPhone reset does not affect any data or settings.

Several hour delay in receiving emails sent from mail?

for 3 years i've had a pop email account with yahoo and it has worked flawlessly with my apple mail program until a few days ago when people started telling me that the emails i sent took several hours to reach them. so, using mail, i sent myself a test and confirmed the delay. emails i send immediately appear in my "sent" folder yet they don't reach their intended recipients until hours later. this problem is intermittent. there was a brief window the other day when emails i was sending from mail were arriving quickly. but, the problem soon returned and persists now. the problem does not affect the receiving of emails with mail. in other words, i am receiving all emails with mail. the problem only affects emails i send using apple mail.
when i access my email account directly through yahoo to send emails, those emails arrive immediately.
i hope i have described the problem clearly enough and i thank the community in advance for any insight and/or suggestions.

If you select a message in Mail's message viewer, then select the menu item View > Message > Long Headers, the message headers will be displayed. Depending on how the message was routed, there may be several "Received" fields - these get added at each mail server that handles the message. Each "Received" field contains information such as IP addresses, host names, dates, and times - these can be used to tell how the message was routed and how long it took. Note that a sender can fake, or "spoof", their information (usually these are spammers), but once the message reaches real-world servers the information will be correct.

Some mail sent from Mail is not being received or sent

I am losing mail, both received and sent, intermittantly. It definitely involves my .Mac email account but I don't know if it involves others. A friend who also has a .Mac account is experiencing the same problem. It does NOT necessarily have to do with any attachments or bcc's. Is anyone else?
iMac G-5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have a similar but perhaps unrelated problem. Every now and then, I send an email on my gmail account using Mail. The sent mail appears in my sent box, but never arrives, and does not appear in my webmail sent box (where it usually does, using gmail). Most of the time it works, and it even works most of the time with people it has had a problem with, including mail I send to myself at work at my professional address. Usually arrives...but not always. I don't know how to trust my sent mail box without always going on the webmail to make sure it actually went out. I only have this problem when using the Mail application, but there are no other common characteristics (attachements, ISPs, etc) to say there could be a problem with one of those things. Anyone else have this problem?

Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

Hi everybody,
I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
Many thanks

I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

Blocking viewing jpg images on received & filed sent e-mails

jpg images on all e-mails are blocked and message "loading, if taking too long Click Here " this opens window " jpg image file do you want FF to Open with Windows picture viewer(default) or Save. It will then download the image via Download Window. (This does not occur when opening the same e-mails with IE, the reduced jpg images are displayed & enlarged with 1 x click)

followed troubleshooting instructions through to checking plugins upto date, all ok except Windows live photo gallery and Google update, disabled both and e-mail jpg images loaded instantly!!! enabled the 2 x plugins in sequence and problem did not return????? Don't know why? but happy.
many thanks, BK

Strange characters when receiving mail in mail.app

Hi,
I am having an issue with certain e-mails in mail.app cannot be read due to very strange charachers.
I have already seen that problem with entourage and it's just the matter of deleting a font cache but here I cannot seem to get around it..
Any idea someone?
Cheers
Ben

Sometimes these problems are caused by the fonts Times Phonetic and Helvetica Fractions. Delete them if you have them.
Or it could be an encoding issue. Send a screen shot if you want (tom at bluesky dot org).

IPhoto 11 - when receiving photos sent from iPhoto 11- can't reply...

My friend sent me photos directly from her iPhoto 11. When I went to reply to her email with the photos, I hit reply, but I am unable to type anything in. When I went to click out of Mail, it froze and I had to force quit.
I called another friend who also uses iPhoto 11, and had her send photos from iPhoto 11, also, so I could see if it was just happening with one person. Turns out, the same thing happens.
I open the email with the photos that were sent to me directly from iPhoto 11, and, again, I am unable to reply, and then, my Mail program freezes and I have to force quit.
Is anyone else having this problem? Try sending yourself photos directly from iPhoto 11 and see what happens.
(FWIW, I have iPhoto '09 ). My friends don't do the forums so I figured I'd post and try to find out what's wrong with iPhoto 11 and if it's a known issue. (they are both using iMacs- Mountain Lion)
Thanks!

No, it is not my email program. This has been tested out on other computers, as well. I spoke to a lot of folks who have iPhoto 11 and they said they have been having issues with people who can't reply to their emails ONLY when they send photos using iPhoto.
These same people sent me photos as attachments, sans use of iPhoto and no problem. They also tested it by sending photos via iphoto to other friends as well, and, those people also can not reply to them, either, be it on a Mac or a PC, yet, when the photos are inluded as attachments or drag and dropped in, the emails are able to be replied to.
Thanks, though, but there's nothing wrong my my email program.
FWIW, they also sent themselves photos via iPhoto and had the same problem. It's iPhoto 11.

Error message when receive a fillable form back from patient

Hello:
The image below is an error message we received when the patient emails us back the survey form we have emailed to them.
How do we fix so we can gather the data that was sent to us?

Could you please confirm if you are receiving .FDF file as an email attachment.
If this is the case then the above message is expected.
FDF file just contains the response data and it requires original PDF where it can merge the data to show the final output.
Steps to avoid this workflow:
1. Use the complete PDF format on submit button.
2. If you have the original PDF then save the FDF file separately and merge the data using following option:
     a. Open the original PDF in Acrobat.
     b. Go to Tools -> Form -> More Form Options -> Import Data
          and then locate the FDF file on your machine.

Mail sent from other apps are not sent

Since upgrading to OS 4.1 I noticed that mail initiated from apps, e.g. twitter or Flipboard gets stuck in the outbox of the Mail app. And I dont hear the usual swoosh sound for outgoing mail. Regular messages sent from the Mail app go out normal. What's the issue here?

After switching my Gmail account from IMAP to the Exchange setting the problem has disappeared. Was not how I had it set up in iOS 3

Help! Urgent! Mail sent my mail to the netherworld...

Ack!
Here's what I did:
I wanted to make month-named archive mailboxes within a year folder.
I created 12 mailboxes in a row by creating the mailbox and naming it: 1/2008, 2/2008, etc.
(YES- I NOW KNOW WHAT I DID)
I saw that what I had done was create a white folder named 1 with a triangle...I instantly surmised that within lay a folder named "2008" -bleh! Don't want that...so I hit the triangles on all the folders to reveal the "2008 folders within, selected them all at once, and deleted them.
Then I went to my inbox, sorted by date, grabbed the hundreds of emails for March, and said "move to folder on my mac named 3"
Then I did it with April (4)
then I decided to look in the mailboxes...why were they white? What did it mean?
I looked.
NOTHING.
What????
No!
So I searched for "march" in all mailboxes, with mailbox column visible, sorted by mailbox.
a bunch of emails were in the white march mailbox.
I selected one and got a message saying it hadn't been downloaded???
I ignored the message, selected them all, and went to transfer them to the inbox.
Got an error message that i didn't write down, and they disappeared from my search.
WHERE IS MY MAIL? HELP!
(I then did a find in the finder and a spotlight search, trying to find the mail that way. no luck.)
Help!
(This is on my Macbook, which is running Tiger)

I'd get EasyFind...
