Mail.app cutting off forwarded emails.
February 22, 2008 11:37 AM

In OSX Mail.app (using an IMAP account), why do messages I forward keep getting cutoff or truncated?

Has anyone had this problem with forwarding in Mail.app? Do I need to reconfigure the IMAP account?

Who is your IMAP provider? I use IMAP with Gmail and don't have any problems with truncated messages in Mail. Every once in a long while it has issues with attachments, but that's about it...

The IMAP provider is Concentric. I've asked other people with IMAP Concentric accounts if they experience this and it's just me. Also, this seems to have developed recently--it was not an issue in the past (although I have not re-configured anything). Could it be the latest Leopard update?

Are you sure you're not forwarding only small parts of it? Are you one of those highlight-scrollers? In Mail, when you highlight part of a message and reply for forward, only the highlighted part is quoted.

Yeah, what do you mean by cutoff or truncated? Does the forwarded email literally get cut off right in the middle of a word? When you hit the forward button, do you have any text highlighted (and thus trigger the only-forward-the-selected-text feature of which cmiller speaks)?
