Turn off name on email paste
|
|
|
|
 |
A cool tip from Melissa Holt at Mac Observer
|
|
|
|
|
When you hover over an email address in the header or address fields you can click the drop down and copy the email address.
|
|
|
|
|
By default you get more than just the email address, you get the name in < > brackets. Annoying.
|
|
|
|
|
Terminal command
|
|
|
|
|
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
|

View attachment as icon
|
|
|
|
|
When you place attachments that Mail can display those appear inline with the text.
|
|
|
|
|
If you control-click or right-click you can see an option to 'View as icon'
|
|
|
|
|
Repeat the process and choose 'View in Place to change back.
|
|
|
|
|
Attachment always at end
|
|
|
|
|
by default attachments get inserted at the current cursor position.
|
|
|
|
|
Go to 'Edit-->Attachments' and choose 'Insert attachments at End of Message' to always have your attachments inserted at the end.
|
|
|
|
|
Here is also the setting for 'Send Windows Friendly Attachments'
|
|
|
|
|
If you have trouble with Windows users receiving JPEGs try changing the extension to .jpeg before attaching.
|
|
|
|
|
Control Address Fields displayed
|
|
|
|
|
Use the View menu you can turn on or off the CC, BCC, and Reply To fields. These will be maintained for each new email you compose
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the little customize filed drop down in the compose window also. Choose 'customize' and you can check the boxes next to the desired fields.

|
Mail to undisclosed recipients
|
|
|
|
|
Helpful for doing organization or group mailings and keeping addresses anonymous
|
|
|
|
|
Create a Group in Address Book and add the addresses
|
|
|
|
|
Still in address book create a new entry
|
|
|
|
|
Set first name to 'undisclosed' and last name to 'recipients'
|
|
|
|
|
Set the email address to the same address that the email will be from.
|
|
|
|
|
Compose a new message and set the To address to the 'Undisclosed Recipients'.
|
|
|
|
|
Enable the BCC filed and add your group
|
|
|
|
|
Now when you email the addresses will be hidden.
|
|
|
|
|
Clear previous recipients
|
|
|
|
|
People often wonder why strange addresses often show up in auto-complete.
|
|
|
|
|
Not just from Address Book, but also from a list of everyone you've sent or replied to in an email. Might have old addresses for some people
|
|
|
|
|
Go to 'Window-->Previous Recipients'
|
|
|
|
|
Select names and click the 'Remove from List' button
|
|
|
|
|

Send HTML email using iWeb for Design
