Text gets repeated in Mail emails when received by Internet Explorer users

Can anyone please help? When I send an email to someone with Internet Explorer 6 (on a PC) and my message is composed with Rich Text format the recipient gets the text of the message repeated in the same email (ie the same text appears twice) One of the two lots of text is formatted, the other usually isn't. In addition, sometimes the attachments seem to be repeated too, but usually only one attachment actually opens. I have used common fonts like Arial and Helvetica - that doesn't seem to make any difference. I look forward to hearing from someone with a solution! It seems a shame to have to send out emails in plain text.

I meant to say when opened in Outlook Express (not Internet Explorer).
You might want to verify whether you mean Outlook Express or just Outlook. They are not the same.
The problem arises in trying to send out an email that will look the same whoever opens it.
There is no guarantee that you can do this. There are too many things people can do at the other end that can make it impossible.
I'll try the Western ISO Latin as you suggest - see if that helps.
Here is info on problems that can happen with Outlook, in case it is of use. But if you have a lot of problems you may want to consider moving to another app, like Entourage (made by MS to work with its Windows stuff) or Thunderbird.

You could of course use Safari your default browser as a quick method of accessing gmail until you figure out the Firefox problem. (More than one browser may be used on a Mac or other computer).
Is this the only site you have problems with ? and does Safari work ok ?
Often this problem requires the page to be reloaded
* try pressing the shift key as you reload the page
Another problem is sometimes the cookies for that site need clearing

When I am in aol email I can't get to my contact list to forward my email. I have no problem when I use Internet Explorer for aol email.

When I'm in Firefox and try to forward an email in aol email I cannot access my contact list when I click on the to/bcc/cc . When I use Internet Explorer I have no problem accessing my contact list at all.

First make sure Settings > Facebook > Contacts is turned off. Tis might be different from what you described in your question.
Then open your Contacts app and check carefully what is there for your son and grand daughter's contact info. Correct if necessary.

I need to forward some photos and I keep getting this message " the email server didn't recognize your user name or password.

In trying to forward some photos, I keep getting the message:
The email server didn't recognize your user name
and password.

First go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Close iPhoto, reopen and add your email account to the Accounts preference pane and try again.
Next, and IMO the better solution, set Mail are the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane:
This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy and, if you need a layout like iPhoto gives you, similar layouts in iPhoto's stationary option.

You can try Firefox Safe Mode to see if one or more of your add-ons might be causing the problem. Also clearing the cookies for the site might help. The site loaded with current date and animation on my system.

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Deleting+cookies#Delete_cookies_for_a_single_site

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites. I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar. This problem only started
a couple of days ago. Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

Hi,
Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
doesn't shown up in IE?
I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff

Sometimes phone numbers that are on emails and websites show up for a second or two and then are removed. This doens't happen with the same email or website when I use Internet Explorer

On some emails and websites phone numbers appear for a second or two and then disappear. If I reload the email or website, the number again appears for a second or two and then disappears. This doesn't happen when I open that same email or website in Internet Explorer.

Do you have Skype installed, I have seen similar reports about Skype causing this. Skype include a "number highlighting" option, and it may be malfunctioning and hiding the numbers instead of highlighting them. If you have Skype, try turning this feature off - http://blog.calcoastwebdesign.com/2008/11/how-to-disable-number-highlighting.html
If that does not help, try the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article, this is likely to be caused by an extension/theme issue.

Menu positioning problem when viewing in Internet explorer on a pc

Hi guys,
I have created a website for a football team and I am having problems with the menu. It looks fine in all browsers apart from Internet Explorer. The menu positioning is meant to be on the left hand side but shows far right on the screen when viewed in Internet Explorer. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Hummm....its difficult to tell. Youre using so many redundant css styles ie not needed.
Youre 'leftPan' <div> container is 140px in width but your ul (unordered list inside it is 244px wide?
Why set widths and heights when they are not needed. You have no idea what height the ul and li will be in other users browsers. A child element placed inside a parent container will stretch to the full width without specifying a width for the child element. The key to web deisgn is keeping all the maths 100% correct. If you so much as get anything out by even one px it could break the design.
#leftPan{
 margin-left: 90px;
 width: 140px;
#leftPan ul{
 width:244px;
 height:250px;
 background-position: 0 0;
 padding-top: 0px;
 padding-right: 0;
 padding-bottom: 0;
 padding-left: 0;
 margin-top: 1px;
 text-decoration: none;
I see no reason why your based structure ie the 'container', 'header', 'mainpic', sidebar1 and 'mainContent' should not work in all browsers. Now what you have inside those may be casuing the conflict. I would strip the page back to the base structure (check that it does work in all browsers) then begin to fill the containers, checking as you go.

Mail now opens links with Internet Explorer

Today, clicking on a link in Mail opens the address with Internet Explorer. Before, it was Safari. I have no idea how or why this got changed! How do I get the old (Safari) behavior back??

you have Internet Explorer in Leopard? I thought it was no longer supported.
you can set the default browser to safari in safari preferences->general. that should do it.

Adobe Flash Player Pop Up when going to Internet Explorer

I am continuously getting an Adobe Flash Player pop up when going to Internet Explorer. It says "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer". This program will open outside protected mode etc. etc. If you do not trust this site do not open. This pops up every second. Is this a virus and if so how do I get rid of it?
SKB

My level is at Medium High. I unchecked the “Enable Protected Mode”. Is this safe? The pop up is no longer popping up.

I am unable to view some (but not all) videos in Firefox. But I can view ALL videos when I use Internet Explorer. Please help. I do not want to use IE.

as stated, I am unable to view some videos in Firefox, but I am able to view them when I use Internet Explorer. How can I view all videos when using Firefox. Thank you.

That is Flash.
You do have the Flash player installed according to your More system details list, so Flash should be working.

Parts of screen missing when played on Internet Explorer

Has anyone ever had a published CP5 project not display the whole screen when presented in Internet Explorer? A coworker brings up a course in IE and the playbar and the right side of the screen are missing. I bring up the same course from the same source on a different computer and all the elements are there.
I have no idea how to explain it. The monitors are the same resolution and the size of the project isn't big enough to go off screen.

If everything else is the same, IE has that zoom option. I use the shift-mouse wheel, not sure if you can do it with the keyboard or touch pad, but rolling up zooms in, rolling down zooms out. Perhaps that's it?

Why does Twitter operate and look inferior on Firefox when compared to Internet Explorer?

When I send a Tweet on Twitter on Firefox, my server said that the message could not be delivered when in fact is was. The layout of Twitter also looks and acts differently when I use Internet Explorer (it is superior.) My friend was having such a hard time used Twitter on Firefox several months ago, she uses Google Chrome, which I intensely dislike. It seems that Firefox is NOT keeping up with the upgrades with Twitter and Youtube.com

Every browser renders a webage differently. Usually very slightly but enough to notice it.
So you have to take that into account. Not a big deal. Simply make the changes and everybody is happy.
And Internet Explorer became obsolete in 2003 :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_Mac
So don't mention it.

How can I change the format of text pasted into a Mail email from another document?

I paste some text from a word document into an email in Mail. In the word document, the text was indented .5" from the right margin. In the Mail email document, the text also appears indented .5" from the right margin.
But since this was the last text in the email I am composing, my text following the pasted-in part continues at the indented "style" of the pasted in text. And thre are no controls for changing this indentation on subsequent text in that email, nor can you chage the indentation formatting of the text pasted in.
Even when you select "decrease indentation" under the format/indentation options in the menu bar, Mail will not reduce a "pasted-in" paragraph indentation nor will it return a subsequent text paragraph you type in manually back to a left-adjusted margin.
Am I miising something?
Is there a way to see something in each Mail message composition window akin to what you see in a word processing document that allows you to set margins and indentations and tabs for individual paragraphs? Just like the Formatting controls you have here in the Apple Support communities when you ar composing a message and that I used to indent this paragraph?
And then used to return this paragraph back to the original left adjusted formatting?
Steve

Thanks for the reminder. I use the formatting toolbar but forgot to go there instead of the Format menubar item for Mail to try the indent and outdent commands.
But, alas, that indent, outdent option has no impact on text pasted into the message. It remains stuck at the indent level of the source text.
Might the answer lie in switching to plain text and formatting there? Tried that and no difference.
I did discover that if you highlight text pasted in with its "own" indentation preference "baked in" you can indent that text further and even "outdent" it back to where it was, but you cannot shake it's original indentation status to get it back to full left margins.
