Stripping out mail header photo

Hi Folks,
I assume others have run into this problem: MSN Windows Live Hotmail rejects your email, apparently because it considers the little account id photo that Mail inserts on the right side of the mail header as some kind of deadly Trojan Horse vector. Does any bright spark out there know how to strip out that photo in Mail (3.6)? I was hoping to get lucky with "Make Plain Text", but no joy. I've looked through every menu I could find and see no place to change that setting. Thanks in advance!

That little picture isn't sent out with any of your outgoing mail; not in the header, not as an attachment, not by any other method. Apple's mail program just displays it there when you read the messages in your Sent box; it never leaves your computer. So the problem you are having with Hotmail must be because of something else.
You might want to start a new thread here with a more detailed description of what the problem is. Put "Windows Live Hotmail" in the subject line , so users with experience and knowledge about that will be more likely to see it and give you a helpful response.

  • Can't get rid of account icon photo in mail header area

    How can I get rid of the thumbnail photo icon in the mail header area when I send an e-mail in Mail?
    It is one of the supplied icons that is in system preferences for "accounts", to distinguish my account from my wife's on our iMac G5 (10.4.10). I recently only selected this icon....the boxer dog....but there was nothing in that area before when I used the generic sillohuete as my account log-in identifier.
    Basically, I don't want to be sending e-mails with a dog's photo....as much as I like dogs.
    I have read how to ADD a custom photo in .Mac preferences/profile but, I didn't see how to get rid of one and I did not consciously choose to add the photo that is there now.....it just appeared after I changed it in System Preferences/Accounts. I understand that it might appear in iChat, but, I am not/wasn't using iChat.

    Those photos don't actually get sent. They are a "feature" of Mail. You probably have a "Me" card in your address book? Get rid of the picture there, and it should get rid of the picture in the header region of your emails as displayed in Mail.app. But, like I said, those don't actually get sent, anyways. Got Windoze at work? Send an email to yourself at your work email address -- you'll see -- no boxer dog. But, please pay a visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and let them know what you think of this feature.

  • I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo.

    I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo. Is it possible to simply delete this blue color of the sky?

    Make your selection and then use Refine Edge.

  • Photos in Mail / iPhoto Photo Browser are out of date.

    In Mail, a photo browser button allows me to browse the contents of my iPhoto library (Events, places, etc).
    However, the contents are not the same as what I see in iPhoto.  They appear to be out of date - no event or photo after Jan 2011 is present.
    iPhoto itself is working just fine, and has plenty of more recent photos and events etc.
    Any ideas what's going on?
    Mail version 4.6, iPhoto 9.2.3

    Where is your Library stored?
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a File called 'AlbumData.xml'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?

  • Content-Length Header being stripped out of Gatewayed pages

    I am working to integrate the GPL'ed Moodle e-learning web application with Plumtree.  However, I'm hitting a snag.  For certain POST events, Moodle expects to receive a content-length header.
    When I use the application outside the portal, it works fine, and the Content-Length header is sent.  However, when I have the application gatewayed through the portal, the Content-Length header seems to get stripped out of the HTTP request and I get HTTP error 411 (Content Length Required).
    Is there a way I can convince the portal to not strip out the Content Length HTTP header?

    I'm working with .NET portal.
    For the particular file that caused the error as reported in the tcptrace log, I opened IIS manager, found the virtual directory, right clicked to open the properties dialog and checked directory security.
    Select edit anonymous access to check the account used for anonymous access, supply the user account needed and allow IIS to manage password. If in doubt check the settings on pages containing http post that are functioning properly.
    Check Integrated Widows Authentication
    I found this virutal directory had no user in the anonymous account, not sure how this happened. This resulted in pages that contained post/postbacks giving the "length required" error when I hit a button to perform the post/postback. Pages that did not contain Posts/Postback work correctly.

    Firstly, always assuming your profile is up to date,  I would update the device to 10.6.8 using the Combo updater as follows.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
    Then try again.
    If there is no improvement I suggest you rephrase the question and put it in the iPhoto columns where it will receive the attention of the gurus there.  It is always good practice to channel questions to the communities that are directly related to your problem.

  • Photo Meta data stripped out

    Other than a small savings in file size why would iWeb strip all of the photos metadata, i.e. keywords, ©info, owner name, description, even the filename itself, etc. out of photos added to iWeb.
    Is there any way around this, I've tried drag and drop from a folder with the same results.
    Considering Apple makes it's living on copyrights why do they make it so difficult for the rest of us to reserve ours?
    Otherwise the new iWeb rocks!

    You must be talking about non-standardized meta data, as in iphoto meta data or some other apps???
    Because I'd geo-tagged my photos with standardize meta data (EXIF) and iweb does not strip it off.
    I can see iweb resize the photos, but EXIF meta data is intact, I can build full google earth and google map file from iweb photo page rss.xml file.
    This google map is based on iweb photos page: http://home.cyclosaurus.com/AlumRock_Park_GoogleMaps.html
    and this is the photos page, the photos are geotag with standard EXIF:
    http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/PhotoAlbums/Pages/Alum_RockPark.html
    You can download my photos and you will see EXIF meta data is there.

  • How do I e-mail a photo in iphoto 9.6

    Hello. I am using Yosemite and finding it difficult to e-mail a photo like I used to be able to.  Previously I would select a photo, then
    click on the bottom right and the photo would show up in my Mac mail program.  Now when I select the photo it comes up with the to/from/subject
    right in the iPhoto program.  I tried sending it by clicking on Share/Mail and it goes out but I have no idea where the sent copy is as it is not in
    my Mac Mail sent file.  Is there any way I can click on the photo and have it show up in Mac Mail so I could send it from there?
    Thank you.

    You are welcome - they are in the receiver's inbox - when you use iPhoto last th email client there is no sent mailbox - one of many reasons that I personally recommend that people use mail

  • Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email.  I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1

    Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email.  I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1  (902.17) OS is Mavericks 10.9.1.

    Your question and description is not very clear to me, so hopefully something here will help:
    1. Gmail is a service not an app or a place. So you need to access the service with an app - that can be iPhoto, Mail, Outlook or any other mail client, or even a Web Browser like Safari or Firefox.
    So you can't "go to GMail" as you write, but instead you go to an application set up to use the GMail service.
    2. iPhoto is not a mail client. It's a handy way to email pics to Grandma, but for what you're doing you need to use an app that supports all of the Gmail service. iPhoto doesn't. There is no way around that.
    3. How to send to groups will vary depending on what app you use to access the GMail service. All of these apps can receive photos from iPhoto, either - as in the case of Mail and Outlook, via the Share function - or, in the case of all the rest - via a Media Browser.
    For help sending to Groups using any of these other apps you need to ask omn their respective forums. But the workflow is quite simple:
    Using Mail or Outlook set in the iPhoto Prefereneces:
    1. Select the pic(s) you want to share.
    2. Choose email from the Share function
    3. Make your selections re size etc
    4. The email opens up in Mail or Outlook
    - from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
    Using any other app:
    1. In the mail app create a new email
    2. Click on the Attach button or link
    3. Use the Media browser to select the pic(s) you want to send
    4. Attach them
    - from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.

  • Editing with the iOS 8 Photos app strips EXIF data from photos.

    The new iOS 8 Photos app has some nice editing features and extensions from other apps is a good idea, however any editing done strips out all of the EXIF data from the photo.

    I have the same problem. It's awful; if you edit and upload georeferencing and other stuff is lost. Fail.
    It didn't strip it when I edited in Snapseed and then saved back to the photo library.

  • Mail rule to modify e-mail header (via external command line tool)

    Hello,
    Apple Mail lets me add AppleScripts which will be executed whenever this rule is being called.
    I have some command line tools that lets me add some information to the e-mail's header. For example, spamprobe (a anti spam tool, which works perfectly for me) would add an e-mail header like
    X-SpamProbe: SPAM 0.9999749 8aba943058c55bb20bd974fc534b71cc
    or clamdscan would add (in combination with the command line tool formail) add information about viruses into the e-mail header, such as
    X-Virus: [clamscan] Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain FOUND
    After marking the e-mails, spam can be easily filtered out. Currently I'm using procmail to call all those external tools. They work much more accurate for me than Apple Mail's built-in spamfilter.
    Now, however, I want to keep my mail on an IMAP server, thus, procmail does not work anymore. (procmail works only on local e-mails.) Is there any way to "stamp" incoming mails with Apple Mail by an external command line tool, leaving the mail at the end on the IMAP server? It should be the following workflow:
    Apple Mail checks new mails and calls a rule on any e-mail which sends a copy of the mail to an external command line tool
    The command line tool adds information to the given e-mail (e.g., virus or spam information)
    Apple Mail "replaces" the e-mail on the IMAP server with the altered e-mail
    Apple Mail calls another rule which filters all detected spam e-mails
    Is Mail + AppleScript that flexible to include the use of external command line tools?
    Certainly, an even better alternative would be to have a tool like procmail which could work directly on messages on IMAP servers. However, I'm not aware of any that could do that.
    Thanks for any comment.

    If you want to execute a command line as a mail rule you could define an apple script that executes the command line,
    for example
    tell application "Finder"
      do shell script "ls"
    end tell
    executes the shell command "ls"
    For "ls" substitute your command line command.

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

    want to print out wallet size photos (size 3 and a half x 2 and a half).  I have windows XP and my printer is the photosmart 6510 e-all-in-one series

    You will have to change the settings in the photo editing software and put 2 wallets on a 4x6 or 9 wallets on a full page.  The photo tray will not take paper smaller than 4x6.

    There is nothing wrong with your Dell, it will work fine with any MacbookPro. I have been using Dell displays for over 12 years with many different Mac models. I have two 21" Ultra Sharp displays working side by side to design a Keynote presentation right now.
    The issue your having is with the way Keynote  takes control of the video output to both displays, it sends the presentation signal to one and the presenter display to the other, this is set up in;
    Keynote preferences > Presenter display.
    If you want to show a wesite or another app on  either display,  use application switcher:
    press the the  command key on the keyboard, then the tab key; a row of applications will show what applications are running, choose which one you want to show. Use command  > tab to return to Keynote.
