I use Mail on my home mac (Snow Leopard) and don't have these problems. Up until finding this thread, I didn't know whether the different behavior was due to my new company or the upgraded OS. I only encountered these problems after switching jobs to a new company, and also switching from Snow Leopard to Lion. I have used HTML-enabled e-mail for many years and have never experienced this annoyance before. Shutting off HTML formatting is a successful workaround, but means I cannot embed clickable links which make my messages more convenient for the recipients. It also occurs whether I am using my company's e-mail account (an exchange server) OR my personal e-mail account (gmail imap), in either client (Outlook or Mail). This behavior occurs whether I am using Outlook 2011 OR Apple Mail. Instead, the pasted text always appears a line above where I want it, usually at the beginning of the paragraph. My particular problem is that often when I copy-paste some text from one e-mail into a new e-mail, I cannot insert the text into the precise location I want.

Also, as far as I can tell no one has actually provided a useful suggestion as to how to overcome the problem. Several posters in this thread, myself included, are genuinely annoyed/inconvenienced by this behavior in our e-mail clients, and we came here seeking advice, not derision. I gather from the comments in this thread that use of HTML in e-mail is problematic, though I do not appreciate the condescending tone. We are allowed to expect more out of our O/S than ASCII.

The question then, is why did Microsoft fail to create this same integration on the Mac version of the tool suite?Īs to the question of wanting professional looking e-mails. This has lulled us all into a nice sense of security that we don't have to worry about the HTML formatting nonsense MisterMe points out - we simply let Office handle it. Because of this, you get very nice integration between Outlook and the various Office apps. In Windows, Outlook uses the MS Word engine as the default editor for e-mail. I have exactly the same type of problems: I copy/paste something out of MS Word into an Outlook mail and the formatting looks great I then copy/paste a table out of MS Excel, and the paste action re-formats the text previously inserted.Īlthough I admit that MisterMe is right about HTML having limitations, the problem here is not HTML - it's Microsoft. Ianwasafiri, I empathize with your plight. Where's the Help for this Problem - MS Office? It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness. Within each message, include a link to the message and along with instructions to click the link if the message does not display properly. If HTML mail is important to your business, then you should do what other businesses do.
With or without his knowledge, the recipient may have his email client to reinterpret all of your HTML formatting or ignore it altogether. However, the recipient's email client has the final say. HTML markup codes may tell the recipient's email client how you would like the message to be displayed. The display of email is controlled by at recipient's end.

If you want absolute assurance that your recipient will receive the message exactly as you end it, then convert the message to PDF with embedded fonts and send the PDF as an attachment. Like the people in Hell, however, you have no expectation of getting what you want. Wrong as in "Is it wrong of people in Hell to want ice water?" No, it is not wrong.
