Why do I have to use View Message Best alternative to view graphic?

Often in the last 3 years, back to when I was using Leopard, Mail messages would appear in my mailbox which obviously contained graphics or pictures but which didn't show up in the email. (There would be paperclip icon in the right column.)
By going to View>Message>Best Alternative I can get the picture to show up.
Why do I need to do this? I recall in earlier versions of Mail this never happened.
Is there a way in Mail Preferences to change that? I can't find any setting that relates to that.
I am using 10.7 Lion, I have Mail set to Classic Layout. Thanx.

Netflix determines which program their movies are to use. Firefox has no control over it.

  • Why sometimes we have to use two message( ) to display one message ?

    Sometimes one message( ) function is not working properly ? We have to use two message( ) to display one message ? Why ?

    And just to add a little on what dave said:
    You can also detect which button the user has clicked and do some action accordingly.
    DECLARE
    al_id ALERT;
    al_result NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      al_id := Find_Alert('MESSAGE');
      SET_ALERT_PROPERTY(al_id, ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, 'your message here');
      al_result := Show_Alert(al_id);
      IF al_result = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
         ...  --do some action.
      END IF;

  • Mail View Message Best Alternative

    SInce upgrading my home iMac to Lion, Mail on this computer and on Powerbook with Snow Leopard (because I still want to look at my Quicken 2007 stuff) do not show messages in mail via best alternative unless I go into the view menu for each menu to select best alternative.  They show all the links which historically would load automatically.
    Cannot even see attachments.  l also use mobile me, and have not as yet activated the cloud.  How can I get back to viewing all my messages in best form automatically?  I presume this needs to be done via terminal but do not know....
    Thanks in advance.

    the recommendation to run
        defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText 0
    did not work for me (Mail.app 5.3, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5)
    Other sources suggest
       defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool FALSE
    This did not work for me either.
    In frustration, I opened ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist in Xcode and searched for PreferPlainText.  It seems to (now?) want either YES or NO as a value.
    I set it to NO and saved, then relaunched Mail.app.
    HTML (Rich Text) mail is back.
    I still want to know what I did to make it disappear!

  • Why do i have to use nextLine() when there is an InputMismatchException

    I dont understand why do i have to use this line of code to avoid an infinite loop here...help appreciated.
    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.InputMismatchException;
    public class InputTest {
         public static void main(String [] args){
         Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
         int n = 0;
         while(true){
              try{
                   System.out.println("Input a number:");
                   n = in.nextInt();
                   break;
              }catch(InputMismatchException exc){
                   System.out.println("Error, non-valid input.");
                   //in.nextLine(); <--If i use this line of code it doesn't get into an infinite loop
                             System.out.println("Integer read is: " + n);
    }

    When i run the program if i input something that triggers the exception, it infinitely loops through the question and the catch method block outputs, weirdest thing of all is that i can't even input again after the exception is thrown, but with nextLine() it avoids that, but i still dont understand why do i have to use nextLine().Exactly what I said.
    You enter "A". The exception is thrown. The "A" is not consumed. It calls nextInt on "A" again... and again... and again...
    If you do nextLine, the "A" and the newline are consumed.
    Even on good input, I don't think nextInt consumes the EOL.

  • HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

    Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

    With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
    Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it.  However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security.  The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password.  However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
    To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected.  So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

  • Why do I have to use silverlight to view Netflix movies?

    I'm wondering why I have to use Silverlight to play Netflix movies. When I opened Netflix and selected a movie to play in my Firefox browser a gray page opened up and the only option was to play the movie using Silverlight. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a requirement by Netflix as Netflix is partnered up with Silverlight, a Microsoft product and has some sway over what's able to be played with this addon. Why is there no alternative. I really like the new Firefox but still we're wanting for just a little more control of who does what on our machine.
    Respectfully,
    Tom V.

  • Why do we have to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() to update UI status?

    I just don't understand very well why we have to use SwingUtilities.invokeLater() to update UI status. Why not just new a thread in actionPerformed() method and do time consuming tasks in this thread and update UI status in it? Some tutorials say it is not safe to update UI status not in Event Dispatch Thread, I don't understand, why is it not safe? Can anyone provide a scenario for this? I just write an example, a button and a progressbar, click button, progressbar keeps updating value. I just create a new thread to do this, don't find any issue. Thanks.

  • Why do I have to use SELECT INTO clause in a Stored Proc ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to oracle. I've bought Oracle Database 10g SQL and Oracle Database 10 A beginner's Guide, two books from Oracle press but I can't find any answer for that.
    Why when I'm writing a Stored Procedure with a SELECT statement do I have to use an INTO clause ?? And why when the select returns more than one row do I have to use a cursor ? By the way is this the only way to return more than one row from a stored procedure ?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards.
    S. Nunes

    Sounds like you may have some experience with other databases (SQL Server, maybe?) which allow you to create stored procedures which implicitly return result sets simply by embedding select statements.
    In Oracle, the correct way to do this is using ref cursors.
    See the following link for a good explanation:

  • When and why do i have to use a Network-Path?

    Hello,
    i'm wondering when i why i have to use a Network-Path in KM.
    I'm able to connect to a File-System Repository, even if i have no Network-Path defined.
    - both run on W2K Server
    - EP runs on host EP (not an Domain-member)
    - Filesystem is provided by host FS (Domain-member)
    - EP is started with the default local-user SAPServiceEP6
    - on the FS host, i have defined also a local-user SAPServiceEP6 (because EP always wants to logon with these credentials, i have checked this in the windows securitylog of host FS)
    - no network-path defined
    So regarding the fact, that everything is working, can anybody tell me when i have to use a Network-Path?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    for example if you want to access a share that only access is granted for a given user. The idea is having a superuser with privileges on the other computer to do things like checking ACLS.
    Another example, how can you access windows shares when running the portal in Unix? Using a network path.

  • Why do I have to use security code for wifi router each time I turn on iPad 3?

    Why do I have to enter wifi security code for my router each time I turn on ipad3?  I have checked all the settings I could but is this a router problem?

    If you're hiding your network SSID and/or using WEP security, I think these can cause this problem.  If you're hiding your SSID, there's really no point in doing that since there are ways people can easily see it if they're looking to do harm anyway.  If you're using WEP security, consider changing to WPA2 which is much more secure than WEP.

  • Anyone have experience using ALE message FIDCC2 in a high volume scenario?

    Hi,
    We are evaluating the use of message type FIDCC2 to send complete FI documents from one SAP system (logisitics) to another SAP system (finance).  I'm particularly interested in throughput performance, as this will be a high volume scenario (300K+ docs per month).  Additionally, each SAP system has a customer include code block extension (CI_COBL) to BSEG, that will be carried via an IDOC enhancement (custom segment), for which we are considering using XI to map the IDOCs between the two systems.  I would appreciate any info you can share regarding use of FIDCC2 in a high volume scenario.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Allen,
    In my past experiences, I used the message variant (EDIDC-MESCOD) and message function (EDIDC-MESFCT) to execute multiple inbound IDoc jobs to run parallel  for a given message type and IDoc type (execute program RBDAPP01 in different application servers).
    I used message variant and message function to group all sales order IDocs based on location and customer numbers. 
    You need to enter message variant and/or message function during partner profile setup (WE20). Also the middleware system (i.e. SAP XI) must maintain the above fields accordingly for IDoc inbound processing.
    Hope this will help.
    Regards,
    Ferry Lianto

  • Why do I have to use the tab key even more to tab between page elements.

    Firefox versions prior to ver 4 I used the tab key to tab between page elements (form elements, buttons, etc). I upgraded to ver 4 and now when I tab from form element to form element I first see a gray line outlining the element area and then another press of the tab the element becomes active for me to use. I now have to use double the tab keys to move between form elements.

    Hello new_mac_user, see if the next works
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # in search field type (or copy/paste from here) '''accessibility.tabfocus'''
    # double-click on it and change the value to '''4''' (probably you have 1 the default on mac)
    # click ok, exit firefox and restart it.
    with the above you give focus to links (and linked images) only when you press the tab key.

    Have you considered using either a jump drive or a portable hard-drive to back up your iTunes files?
    In the beginning, I was using a 8GB jump drive to back up my iTunes music folder. I ran out of space on that, so I purchased a 250GB portable hard drive and have been backing up my iTunes music folder on that. Very easy.....you just put the USB port of the hard-drive into your computer...COPY your iTunes music folder from the computer and PASTE it to the portable hard-drive.
