Tiny Font in sent mail

When sending Mail the font is tiny.

When I compose the message I get the font I want but when it is sent it uses a different font?
Mail preferences do not affect anything seen by the recipient of your emails. To do that you must set the font in each message individually in the New Message pane. Also make sure the font you choose is different than the one set in the Preferences.
Also you can start your message in the first line of your sig or use custom stationery.

Mail replies with super tiny font

I'm using the Mail software that comes with my macbook.
My setting for the fonts are
Mailbox font: Lucida Grande Size 11
Message list font: Lucida Grande Size 12
Message font: Lucida Grande Size 12
However, the font size of email replies from friends who are using MS Outlook are super tiny. And this happen only to those who use MS Outlook to reply to my emails. Why is that so? Is there anyway I can fix this?
Thank you.

I just started using Mail in a work environment and have the same problem--e-mails sent by others from PCs (usually using Outlook) appear tiny in mail. You can make them larger by changing the overly simplified "message font" in Preferences, but then all the mails you compose will be that same large font size.
Fortunately, others have had the same problem and there is a better solution--increase the minimum font size in Mail.
Go into Terminal and enter the instruction described here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/comment.php?mode=view&cid=73652&query=mail%20font
I did it and it works like a charm. Can't help you if you want to switch back to whatever the minimum size was before though.

Sent mail has not the default font

Hi,
Users complain that Groupwise changes the font when they use the "sent to" option in Microsoft Word. Has this behaviour changed since Groupwise 8? How can I set the font so that it is the same in every situation?
We use Groupwise 2012, version 12.0.1.16521.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Joost,
I've done some checking with Novell and it would appear that this is a bug in the GroupWise 2012 client - Bug 796126 - Default font changes, using mail to from Excel and Word
The bug describes exactly the symptom that you are seeing, and, was not present in the V8 of the client. Unfortunately I do not know when the targeted date for a fix will be
Cheers,

Font problems in Mail sent from a Custom program

Hi,
There is a custom program which retrieves data from spool using function module 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB' and the list returned by the above function module is moved to table Objbin and passed to function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' for sending the email. eversince upgrade,we are facing problems with the Font of the mail generated via the above function module. The font is really small. the sample code is given below:
   CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
        EXPORTING
             document_data              = doc_chng
             put_in_outbox              = 'X'
        TABLES
             packing_list               = objpack
             contents_bin               = objbin
             receivers                  = reclist
        EXCEPTIONS
             too_many_receivers         = 1

Tiny font on Menu Bar & on window when using Apple Mail on new Macbook Air

I have a new MacBook Air and all is good - except my Mail window has tiny fonts, including on the tool bar, and the Menu Bar is also has smaller fonts when Mail is active. I have made the actual messages readable but the rest of the screen is almost too small to read.

I just got my new MacBook Air and I was also really, really disappointed that the menu bar fonts - and all default text sizes in general - are much too small. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that the optimal resolution for the monitor is now 1440x900 instead of 1280x800 as it was in the older MacBook Air models. I guess I just have to go to the optician and get myself a pair of glasses...
But I think this is clearly a design -related problem that Apple should fix asap!

How to see bcc recipients in sent mail, AppleMail 5.3?

Cannot locate the list of hidden recipients under "sent" mail in Applemail 5.3. When I go to "View," and go to "message," there is no option that will call up the list of "bcc" recipients. How can I check a recipient list if one that I used when sending an email remains hidden?

Wish I could be king. But you described the problem perfectly and I am still but a pawn. All I can say is that I trashed the mail preferences (com.apple.mail.plist) on my Mac Mini, and now my MacBook seems to work right.
Sorry. :>) But that is the truth... The MacBook now has actually sometimes displayed pasted text in its actual, different, font and style as I paste it into a partially composed new mail message.
In other (more rational) words, the problem seems to be tied to pasting only certain types of text. I have not been able yet to pinpoint what. Yes, frustrating indeed. The only work-around has been to re-train my fingers to command-option-shift V, for "paste and match style" (like you, I do not want to always use only plain text). Maybe someone else will eventually weigh in with a real solution. The solution I want is just to be able to consistently see any font variations within my message before I send the email.
The info about the different ppi scales between Windows and Mac is interesting, although not relevant to this particular problem. It does explain the apparent overall size differences I have seen before.

Is there a way to auto increase font size in Mail?

Some mail I receive uses a tiny font size. I click "Command plus" to increase the font on these. Is there a way to have Mail automatically increase any font size that is below a certain size?

Hello 4thSpace,
Have you tried increasing the fond size in the preferences?
Mail menu > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
Play around with the 'Message font' and 'Fixed-width font' settings. If changes do not seem to be taking effect, restart mail after every change (you shouldn't have to).

Sent mail in wrong folder

I use my Virgin Media mailboxes on two devices: a Windows 8 PC using Windows Mail and an iPad, both configured to use IMAP. The messages I send from the PC show up in the "Sent Mail" folder on both devices but the messages sent from the iPad show up as "Sent" on the iPad but in the "Sent Messages" folder on the PC. How can I change this so that all sent messages from both devices show up in the "Sent Mail" folder?
I'd be very grateful for any help.

I received a helpful reply on the Virgin Media forum which solved this problem. If anyone else has the same problem, you need to make the following change on the iPad.
Settings
Mail etc.
select account
click Account
scroll down to Advanced and click
click Sent Mailbox and choose Sent Mail

Sent mail going to inbox, all replies as separate emails

downloaded thunderbird to new computer. three big problems: 1 - address book has been lost 2 - all sent mail is going both to sent mail folder ans also to inbox 3 - all replies and conversations are showing up as separate emails instead of being part of one email thread. i.e., it is a total mess. I have configured the settings correctly I believe. what is going on?

Hmmmm...... perhaps if you took the time to read instructions.
Did you save the add-on XPI file and install it in Thunderbird like the instructions said. Or try and install it in Firefox, get the inevitable failure and complain here that it is not compatible. The web site offers instructions. Perhaps if you read these. http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html That add-on works with the current version.
"You don't recall any read only" Right click any file you copied off the DVD. Select properties and there you have a read only flag.
Do you have anti virus software running? Disable any part of it involving SPAM, TRASH Phishing and email.

Iphone 3, sync'd with Exchange, sent mail goes to draft folder

Sent Mail (Exchange Account), is going to the drafts folder

NOTE: This also applies to Exchange 2010
You may want to check that you are getting Event ID 15002 or 15003 logged to the Application event log first before making this change.
See this
ExchangeServerPro article for reference.
Also, see this
Krudler blog post for shortened version.
Please ensure if you are modifying the
"PercentageDatabaseDiskSpaceUsedHighThreshold" value in the EdgeTransport.exe.config file, you should take into consideration the percentage value notified in the Event Log.
See this
MS Technet article for more technical information.
I had the same error as Shimon1 when using the MailFlow Tool in Exchange, however I did not have event 15002 in my Application Event Log. I resolved this problem by:
Modify the TCP/IP network protocol settings using the following commands
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
I noticed when viewing individual messages in the queue in Exchange Management Console Queue Viewer, they had this message:
"Error: 4.3.2 432 STOREDRV.Deliver; recipient thread limit exceeded"
This was resolved with the help of this
MS blog on Exchange SP1 improvements.
I made the following addition to the EdgeTransport.exe.config file.
<add key="RecipientThreadLimit" value="2" />
<add key="MaxMailboxDeliveryPerMdbConnections" value="3" />

Mutt/Offlineimap Sent mail is showing up in Gmail Inbox

Hi,
I am just starting my journey with mutt and quite like the interface thus far but I am having trouble with sent emails showing up in my Gmail inbox. It is a little annoying to always have my sent emails appear as unread in my inbox. In my search for a solution I have found that this behavior sometimes occurs if you have Gmail filters that are set to never send to spam, I checked and do not have any such filters. This could also happen if I had $record set, but I have specifically unset record. My muttrc and offlineimaprc are as follows (I used several tutorial sites to help create these) (I have hashed out some personal details):
muttrc

I use msmtp to send the emails (and they do send) but as far as I know that program should have nothing to do with my folder labeling.
What happens exactly: When in mutt, I press 'm' and compose an email and send with 'y'. Oddly enough, the email appears in my gmail inbox (the webmail) even before I sync mutt with offlineimap (I don't automatically sync). Once I sync, I see the email in both my sent mail and inbox.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

You have unset the record variable.

How to update the sent mail using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

I have a requirement to update/ append the sent mail like a trail.Since i am sending mails using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, how can i update new contents to sent mails using this RFC???Please help me.

you may have to store content of each time mail send then only, you can send with history.

Mail indexing and lost sent mail

since yesterday, mail has been repeatedly indexing, always getting stuck on one particular email and taking over 1/2 an hour each time before allowing access to the program. Finally, I was able to run a search and delete the offending email before the indexing hung. I assumed this would resolve the problem. But no. It still gets stuck at the exact same point.
On the next pass I selected rebuild mailbox on the sent mailbox as this is where the particular email was. Now all the sent mail foir that account is gone. Yet indexing still reports as stuck on the very same email as before.
How can I get my sent mail back? How can I stop this endless indexing?
G4/400, G4/dual 867 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I am having same/similar problem with Mail 1.3.11 on 10.3.9. If I even open the Sent Mail box I just get the text that Mail is 'sorting messages' and in the right of the bar I get the spinning segmental timer but nothing happens. It says I have 400+ messages in the Sent folder but never lists them.
I cannot quit Mail either and have to Force Quit all the time. Sorry to say that I have started using Thunderbird with no problems but Mac Mail is my default mail app.
I click the segmental timer in top right of bar and up comes a list of active processes that are currently running. I click the big red Stop icons on this list but this doesn't stop them - things just grind to a halt. Mail doesn't quit/hang but just freezes.
Any ideas very greatly welcomed!

How do I display multiple recipients in the Sent Mail list view???

In the list of sent mails, only one name (the first recipient) shows up in the "to" column. I would like to show as many names as there is room for, and not have to open the message itself to see multiple intended recipients.
Other email clients do this as the default, but in Mail I just can't find the setting for how many names to display in that column.
Help!!!!

Terence,
Thanks for the information. Although this allowed me to open multiple windows, they are all show in a format too small (large thumb nails) to use. I'm looking for a way to do a "split-window" function where two windows are shown (at the same time) larger enough to move between the windows and perform functions such as copy, paste, edit, or drag data from one to the other.
Thanks
