Why doesn't Mail have ability to use bullets in emails

I find it odd that you can adjust colors but not have the ability to use bullets and number lists in contructing emails in Apple mail.

Well, I don't know why the composition features of Mail are so limited, but I know an easy workaround.
Compose your email in TextEdit (where you can make bulleted/numbered lists). From the menu bar, choose Edit->Select All followed by TextEdit->Services->Mail->Send Selection.
A new email will open with your formated text in the body.

  • Why doesn't Mail send from any of my three email addresses using OS X10.9.1

    Outgoing mail just piles up.  And why does it pile up in a directory called On My Mac?

    Ignore the fact that I am now allanpeter1.  I am beginning to hate OX 10.9.1 as I have had nothing but trouble ever since upgrading.  This time I have been forced to re-register for discussions.apple.com.  Another ID and another password to add to the list!  However - I have My Connection doctor open in front of me (this email comes from an iPad which works OK).  iCloud IMAP is green, and so is P&A Exchange (my work address). Cantab IMAP is red.  For some reason which I do not understand I also have a mail.cantab.net:a....  SMPT which I have not created in Mail, but may have previously set up in Outlook 2011.  I don't need it, but it won't go away.  It is also red.  Yesterday all four were green.
    I do have a new message relating to my Cantab 'reds', namely that the system will not connect either server because the certificate is invalid. Since it wasn't invalid yesterday I am perplexed, and have contacted the cantab service provider who will, it is hoped, reply in due course and allow me to cross this little unexpected bridge and to see what problems are left.

    You probably used the Finder and burned a data DVD. They can only play on a computer.
    Do you have any DVD authoring software?

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

    For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
    The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs.  That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
    So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

  • Why doesn't Apple have a insurance program to cover stolen devices

    Why doesn't Apple have a insurance program to cover stolen devices?
    As a apple customer I feel that is very important that we are  offered some type of insurance plan to cover our devices if it is stolen besides the AppleCare which is offered that only cover software issues. We as consumers spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on our devices and if it is stolen we are not compensated for it at all which I think is totally unfair. We the consumer put our lives and in some cases our life savings into our devices and this should be taking into consideration By implementing a  insurance plan which allows consumers to choose the type of coverage plans allows the customer to feel more secure with there purchase.

    Well...   Usually the deductible is high enough to make it barely worth the claim.  Once you claim you may also find your insurance rates go up for several years.  The rule of thumb is don't claim unless you're talking at least $1000.  In that regard it could be useful if somebody offered separate insurance, though I suspect one might wonder why one was paying $50 or whatever per year for insurance on a single item versus just paying a bit more for a lower deductible on the homeowner's that would cover a host of items.
    Qbangz:  I have almost always had renter's insurance or the equivalent, even when I stayed in a dorm at college.  If somebody decides not to have it then that's a personal choice, but it is available.

  • Why doesn't PS have auto-recover?

    This is probably the one thing about PS that bugs the crap out of me. If Photoshop crashes while you are working something, it is lost forever. I was working on a digital painting a couple of days ago, and I went to save it, and PS crashed.
    Every other program (Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.) has an auto-save/auto-recover feature. Why doesn't PS have one? It seems silly for it not to.

    This has been discussed in several other threads, so do a search. As far as I'm concerned any such request doesn't make sense given how PS currently works and how the file format is structured. There's simply no realistic and safe way to save potentially large files in a few (micro-)seconds before a crash nor would that work as an auto-backup. Too many external factors and constant disk activity would have other negative side-effects... If you get my meaning: It's one thing to save a few kilobytes from a Word document in a few blips, but a totally different one shuffling around gigabytes.

    Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

  • Why doesn't iPhones have go keyboard

    Why doesn't iPhones have go keyboard

    Unless Apple decides to incorporate it with the iPhone and other iOS devices, 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone API's for security and other reasons which Google is clueless about with Android. The most insecure mobile operating system by far.
    Apple plans to incorporate some of that under iOS 8.

  • Why doesn't mail print the .ics details shown on screen?

    I have colleagues using outlook and I of course use mail.
    When they send me meeting requests I get a .ics file I can use in iCal.
    The details of the .ics file (e.g. agenda) displays OK in mail.
    But when I want to print the mail to take to the meeting, it just shows the .ics icon, nothing else.
    Browsing the discussions, this was a problem back in 2007 in Tiger, but fixed there and subsequently.
    Why have we got this "feature" back now in Lion? (The old fix - print from Get Info in iCal - doesn't work in Lion.  Must be the cheap leather finish)
    Any cures?

    Have you tried using the '''Print''' item at the bottom if that eBay page? <br />
    Or is that what you are using?
    Overall it isn't unusual for "print" to be a bit different than what shows on the "screen", that page may use @media for "screen" and for "print". The '''Print''' item on that page could be the difference, or the web browser might be following that code is you used the '''Print ''menu item or button''''' in Firefox. <br />
    http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/media.html#media-types
    Typically, the '''@print''' CSS code is used to hide navigation menu's ''(can't "navigate" to a different web page from a sheet of paper)'' and maybe advertisements ''(can't "click" on an ad that is on paper)'' from being printed out so that only the text of an article is printed to paper.
    Basically, it's probably not a fault with Firefox, but rather Firefox following the commands on the page put there by the person who authored that page, or a standard CSS "style sheet" used by eBay.

  • Why doesn't Flash have the option to publish to .flv?

    Why doesn't Flash or Adobe Media Encoder have the option to publish or covert .swf to .flv?
    Any suggestions on free .swf to .flv coverters?

    Thanks, kowboy.  I've just seen a few of those video conversion tools that specifically advertise .swf to .flv conversion.  They may degrade the quality and make certain features not work just like when you convert to .avi.  I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of those tools.
    I know this is a fairly odd situation.  Both myself and the other flash developer advised that they not use Flash to create 5 min plus videos and then wrap them in .flv flash players.

  • Why doesn't mail work with Att Yahoo servers?

    Ever since Bellsouth went to using Yahoo to handle their email it hasn't worked regularly. Now that my system is so old they are incapable of helping. They do not have any tech support for Apple products nor do they seem to care. The conversation all ways ends up that they say something is wrong with the mail program or the computer. Since i had it checked out I know that is BS.
    I know there are a number of people using older Mac Mail programs with one of the At&T companies that someone must have found a solution, or not? There are pages of Mac owners complaining on the ATT site but no solutions.
    Looking for someone that has succeeded in dealing with ATT and what is it?
    It may be that the solution is using a different email program than Mac Mail or forwarding from a different email supplier. Any suggestions?

         Thanks to all whom replyed to my query. I have spent more time with ATT and I hired a local computer guy to help. Using you alls info and my high priced friend the email works most of the day. I have found a couple things... some say the servers are IMAP and some say they are POP. What I have had to do is have both set ups available to me to use to get and send mail. Right now the POP is working best.
         ATT will tell you either, depending on the fool you talk to. The last guy said only POP will work. The guy befoe said they were IMAP. They also like to send people to their 3rd party tech people. Unfortunately they don't know anything about macs and they won't tell you that until after you pay them. What the final say from ATT is that they only guarantee that you can get you mail via web-mail and will do little to nothing to help you othet than what is correographed on their computer screen. If that doesn't help thay basicly say tuff luck. My suggestion to all is find someone else other than ATT OR IT'S SUBS.
         Currently 2 of my three bellsouth.net emails address work a couple days at a time. One only works for 15 minutes. To get it to work you can open the Connection Doctor and run it usually once and the email will begin working again. You can access it (OS 10.8.4) by clicking on the little "triangle with exclaimation point" that comes up next to you email box name. I leave open all day to make it easier to access. It also makes the G5 work at the same time. Nor because they are connected but because the problem is with Yahoo-ATT.
         Current POP settings are:
                                        inbound.att.net     port 110 with SSL and password authentication
                                        outbound.att.net   port 465 with SSL and password authentication on two of the emails
         On one of the emails I have a GoDaddy web account that uses:
                                           pop.secureserver.net  default port selection with SSL and password authentication
    for the out going mail server which works for the bellsouth email. Seems like it shouldn't but it does.
    I also keep the IMAP settings as noted by "goodmanrc" as sometimes it works.
                       Incoming Mail Server
                          Host Name       pop.att.yahoo.com
                          Use SSL          ON
                          Authentication  Password
                          Port                995
                       Outgoing Mail Server
                          Host Name      smtp.att.yahoo.com
                          Use SSL         OFF
                          Authentication  Password
                          Port               25
    The settings as noted by Andrew99 use to work before I got Uverse. Now they no longer work. At least not this week.
    Thanks again to all.
