Zombie font in mail composing window!
I have repeatedly set my default in mail messages to be verdana instead of helvetica. Nonetheless, if I am replying to a message and click an empty line below the entered text, there is comes! Like the zombie crawling up out of it grave, back comes the other font. How can it be when I specify another font for my messages that this persists. Is it a bug? (or zombie bug?).
Any ideas appreciated.
Richard
Sorry I have not made this more clear. I am not referring to the font that the receiver sees, but the font that I see when composing an email. I set it to Verdana 13 and when I open a new email to compose/send or when I reply and start typing then it is indeed this font. However as I go along with typing and click below a paragraph to start a new line, then the font reverts back to (I assume) Helvetica 12.
So my confusion is why it would do that. Obviously it is set to Verdana because that is what comes up with I start a reply so why would it revert to another font midway? A puzzle to me.

So.....deeply....disappointed by Lion...
It honestly gets in the way of getting things done.
When was the last time you had an upgrade, in any program or OS that caused an immediate productivity drop?
Mail windows, when adding a new address, pop under to become the lowest window in the stack...before you are done composing...
no extra clicks..just adding ONE character to the actual address bar does it.
Trying to add files to an online content management system is hard...it's hard because when you attempt to add the file, it disappears from
the list, so a search must be conducted...oh not a search of your hard drive...no...it has to include ALL FILES and that takes a while, showing
files totally unrelated to what you need or in whatever that view is, showing everything from movies to documents, to a whole range of other stuff
that is irrelevant to what is being sought.
I can get used to the disappearing icon tool bar...but the message threading in Mail is so strangely bad it's hard to describe. So you send out an email,
and it had 5 points...but that was 3 emails before...A reply comes in addressing those 5 points but saying something like ..."I disagree with point number 4"
Unless you have total recall the thread shows you only incoming mail and the LAST most recent folded up message you sent. You are forced to go digging
into sent mail to see what that point you made 8 days eariler actually was...
I am pleased that I don't have to have Launchpad (honestly the silliest 'feature' I've ever seen on a computer) in the dock and see no point in the juvenile Mission Control (the naming scheme is odd and reminiscent of Junior Spaceman...how ironic that we end America's manned launch capability at the same time as Launch Pad and Mission Control, both throwbacks to the 60's are added to an OS). In any case both are virtually useless tools. One, replacing the mildly useful Spaces and the other just genuinely useless.
I'm going to give Apple until the second bug fix...but I can tell right now that Snow Leopard was a far more robust OS. The thousands of posts about this may rise to the level of AntennaGate...I hope so...It seems the only way to get Steve (for whom I have now honestly lost respect for the FIRST TIME) to address the issues is to embarrass the company publicly. Lion is a broken system, poorly conceived...and proof that the Apple methodology of no widespread user testing can and does fail. This needs to get fixed. Soon.It seems to have something to do with profile manager.
I get stack traces in the "system messages" logs for the "Server" application, grrrr.
I'll get that info and attempt to submit a but report tonight. -
ICloud has my name incorrect in the "From" field of the Mail Compose window. How can I fix this?
When I'm using the iCloud website, when I try to compose an email, iCloud has my name incorrect in the "From" pop-up menu. I changed my last name some time ago, after my divorce, from "Seymour-Amper" back to "Seymour". My Apple ID, my iCloud Settings, and my iCloud Contacts all show my name as "Gemma Seymour", except in the "From" field in Email. There doesn't seem to be any place to change this. I was going to call iCloud Support, but I don't have cell service at home, and can only access the Internet from the public library, where I cannot use my phone. Can anyone help?
In iCloud Mail, try clicking the actions symbol in the left bottom corner and select Preferences. Next click 'Accounts' and select 'iCloud' (if not already selected) on the left. On the right you should see 'Label: iCloud' and below that 'Full Name: ....'. Here you should be able to change your name and next click 'Done' on the right bottom corner.
Hope this helpes... -
Mail / customize compose window
How can the mail compose window be customized?
Specifically, there is a lot of "stuff/crap" that I never use. I cannot find an option under the View menu or Preferences to remove them.
Message Priority selector
Large pane under the toolbar that lists the font, size, color, and other formatting options
Thx!Figured out the second one after some coffee
Just click on the "A" button "Format" to hide the formatting toolbar. No luck on getting rid of the priority selector. -
Hello, I use mail, my version is (uname -a)

and I want to define my message font to particular font, f.e. arial. I've read some manuals and noticed, that there is way:
-Open Mail
-Preferences (from mail menu)
-Font & Colors tab
-Message Font
but as far as I understand, this way defines our font view and not actual font of sent message, because when I compose message and send it, my recipients, despite the fact that message was sent in HTML and not in plain text, have my message displayed in their own default fonts.
So I sent one message to my another mailbox and viewed the underlying HTML code to see this two portions:

first portion was my text, and I see no HTML tags to define font. After that comes my signature, which is heavily formatted and contains default font, so my recipients see it exactly how I want.
But what about message text? How can I define it to be displayed upon arrival to my recipients' mailboxes in exactly that font I need?If I understand your request...
MIME-encoded mail clients will usually send both plain text (or base64-encoded plain text) or rich text (or probably base64-encoded rich text, but I haven't seen that) and also as HTML, and an arbitrary mail client might display the text or might display the HTML. And then there's whether the HTML will be rendered the same, and that's far from certain.
HTML moved various parts of the viewing and rendering details from the perview of the provider or the presenter or author along to the viewer. This is a large shift from what went before, and from what the expectations of the producers were. Fonts were one of those details that moved to the client, too. Not all fonts exist everywhere, and font fallback and font overrides are common. I regularly override the sizes of some messages, and various clients allow that and allow overriding the font choice for one that's more readable. (This change gets into trusting the HTML reader to configure their client for what they prefer, and sometimes for what they can see and read.)
Put another way, the viewer can and will select local fonts and font sizes and such, and may or may not honor the sender's requested fonts.
Formatted HTML itself — such as the Apple Mail.app stationery — is somewhat problematic in general, as client rendering differs. Apple's stationery works well among Apple clients, but can be rendered differently with other clients.
ad for your case, I've been able to set the sending font — brute-force ⌘A in the text area — by changing the font within the compose window. But whether an arbitrary mail client can or will honor that is an open question.
If you really need to set font or page layout or related formatting within a document, then create and attach and send the message as PDF. This is what PDF and Postscript and similar formats are intended to do; to provide the classic producer-defined document viewing. Text will render more or less the same, though you can encounter oddities around line wrapping and line endings and related, and particularly with some mail servers and mail gateways.
If not attaching a PDF or such, then you're going to have to live within whatever your mail client and the receiver's mail client happen to implement. That's the way mail (doesn't) work in a heterogeneous network. -
Make font larger while composing emails without sending big text?
Hi, is there a way to make the appearance of my email text (while composing) larger, without sending big text to my recipient?
ThanksYes, but it will magnify all onscreen windows, including the Mail compose window too, which may still be acceptible to your goal of larger text without shouting at the recipient.
In System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom, check Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom. Write the shortcuts down, and close the preferences window. Now, when in the Mail compose window, you can repeat the option+command+= sequence to enlarge the compose window, or option+command+8 to toggle the zoom effect off.
If you were to just use command and the + or - keys in Mail compose, these would increase the viewed font size for you and the recipient. -

Apple script for Message box when Mail app Compose Window Opens
Hi there
I'm trying to make mail app remind me to choose the right emaill address to send from since I have several email addresses. Is there a way I can make or write an apple script for a message box to pop up whenever mail app's compose window opens up.
I can do for the case when I actally click the compose button when I'm on mail app by using UI scripting. But when it comes to hyperlinks which opens up the compose window, it fails.
I just want a script to see whether the compose window is open and if open pop up a message box.
Thanks
Best regards

Minimizing compose windows in full-screen mail under Yosemite
How do you minimise the compose window when mail is in full-screen mode? Before Yosemite you could click on the full-screen button in the top bar, and get mail out of full screen. That was a lousy solution, but it was working. Now it's not possible anymore. So how do you do this?
This is a seriously annoying bug.
Thanks!I am also having this issue. However, it is not consistent. I installed Lion a week ago and it started off working fine. Only in the last couple days has it started doing this.

Mail automatically opens a new compose window after sending mail
Just recently, my Mail program has started opening a new compose window after I send an email. It's accompanied by the "you did something wrong" tone that my computer makes if you (for instance) hit some incorrect combination of keys. I've tried to fix this in preferences, but I don't see any item that controls this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as this is a waste of time to have to cancel out of the unwanted new compose message, and confirm that, indeed, I want to cancel and not save it.
Thanks!

I want to reply to e-mail in my own handwriting.
I am not thinking of Handwriting Conversion or Notes apps.
Exchange client to be used to reply to emails - one approach is to sketch/free-writing in composer window
Or
send the captured free-flow from another app as an image and attach it inline as image.
Is it possible to do this - or there would be some restrictions?
If it is possible, what would be the best approach?There are some third-party apps that feature handwriting capture, including a couple that have writing-to-text conversion, but I know of no email app that allows handwriting, so you would have to use an app that saves the handwriting as an image and allows that document to be emailed. Search the App Store for "handwriting" and you may find such an app.
As to restrictions, the only restriction I can think of, assuming the app in question does indeed allow a document to be emailed, would be the size of the attachment vis-a-vis any limited placed on message size by your email provider or that of the recipient.

Ok, details of installation below, so when I try compose an email, I just get a compose window icon stuck in the windows
taskbar can't actually enlarge it and use it. If I restart in safe mode with all addons disabled, then it works fine. But
If I restart normally and manually disable addons/plugins, then close and start normally again i.e not safe mode, it
breaks, so does not seem to be an addon or plugin but rather something with the configuration.

Hi all,
Whenever I send mail and the recipient replies I notice the the font of my original email is not what it should be.
I think I've narrowed it down and this seems to only happen when the recipient is using Outlook for Windows.
Is there a way I can fix this. It's not a huge deal but I do like my email messages to look a certain way. I've tried using both Rich Text and Plain Text but get the same result.
I use a 10pt. Arial font, which is ofcourse pretty much universal so I'm not sure why Windows is changing it to a Times New Roman.
Thanks for any suggestions.
JoshuaHello Joshua.
Regardless the font selected for the default message font at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors when using RTF for message composition with Tiger Mail, the message will be sent as Plain Text unless you select a font and size via the font panel when composing a new message which can also include changing the style for selected text - bold, underline or italics or changing the text color for all text or selected text.
Choosing RTF for message composition alone without doing anything else does not send the message in RTF which is really HTML format with Tiger Mail when implemented. -
How do I change the font in mail permantly
I can change the font in mail but it isn't permanent. I am talking about composing E-mail.
I have a work around you might try.
Add a signature to your email account with whatever font you want. Two steps...like this.
1. Create a new email message:
2. Add a new signature (Mail -> Preferences -> Signatures) and Paste Clip Board into the new Signature editor:
That's All Folks!
Now, when you create new messages, you should find that the format you are looking for is already setup. All you have to do is tweak the Name,
Hope this helps!

I have a persistent problem that I just cannot figure out. In mail prefs I set my font for the Mail message font to be Verdana 13 which is easier for me to read. Nonetheless, any time I click on the next line to type in, or click anywhere in the message, it ALWAYS outputs Verdana 12 and I have to manually change it. It looks like it is a bug but I am suspicious about coming to that conclusion as I may just be ignorant.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
RichardRegarding Mail, as already provided go to Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
You can change the Mailbox Font, Message List Font and Message Font.
The font and size that you select for the Message Font will be the font and size for received messages only when the sender of a message uses Plain Text for message composition. When a sender uses HTML for message composition, the sender controls the formatting. With such a received message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and the received message font will be changed to your chosen font for messages.
The message font selection will also be the font used when composing a message.
