Hello Guys,
Is there a reason when I get an email I get this on Mail on my laptop. But then if I forward it to say gmail it shows correctly?
What would be the reason I get all this?

Easy fix: Don't use Mail. Use gmail instead.

Yeah true.
But I would like to know why this happens with some emails, if anyone knows.Does it have to do with the preferences in Mail?

You probably just need to adjust your settings to be able to view emails as HTML

I dont know how people manage their emails on a browser window. I need a native client. That being said, is this for all your incoming emails? or just some?
Make sure message->text encoding is set to automatic.
Send a plain text email to yourself and see if it comes through fine.
New mail->Format->make plain text.that should help to see if its a issue with html rendering.
BTW im just guessing here.

I think the email gets corrupted when a pdf is attached.
It seems to happen or it has been a problem right?

Happens to me too. Email gets corrupted, but only in Mail. If i login to Gmail i can get the email in it's proper uncorrupted form, then usually have to forward it to myself to get it back in a readable format in Mail. No idea why it happens, but I seem to remember reading it was some IMAP / Mail / Gmail incompatibility / corruption but never found a solution. If you figure anything out, let me know!!

seriously I can't stand people who use the browser to check their email. almost as bad as mouth breathers
- Really? Why is that? I guess some ppl do it so they can check their emails anywhere and with any computer when they travelnumero1
- they travel without their main computernumero1
- thats what imap is formantrakid
- numero if you use a mail app you can still use the browser to check when you don't have your cpufourth
- Yeah I know what you mean but what made you dislike ppl using their browsers to check emails? lolnumero1

mantrakid, do you think by disabling google apps could fix this issue?
- mantrakid0
well, i dont run google apps, i just pull my email into mail via the imap settings for the account.. so not sure about google apps business..

we use google business apps. i dropped using Mail because it was a waste of space on my computer.
now the idea of having a second programme to read mail just seems weird.
It's a bit like using a second fork to eat your dinner.

what about when your internet goes down?
