Yes, I now understand Tauqir's difficulty. Some Google queries revealed sporadic reports of similar problems with Mail.app but in no case was there either a resolution or diagnosis. I have tried to provoke my version of Mail (4.6) with no success at all. So I am at a loss to know what to suggest. I doubt it has anything to do with the setting of 'Mail/Message/
Since Tauquir'

Thanks for the tips, I tweaked with all the codes but nothing doing. I am not sure this is such a common occurrence for me to reinstall mail.app. BTW if I need to reinstall where an I get a new copy.

I have tried to provoke my version of Mail (4.6) with no success at all. So I am at a loss to know what to suggest. I doubt it has anything to do with the setting of 'Mail/Message/Text Encoding' that I think Dan suggested. At any rate altering the setting to 'Simplified Chinese' didn't deter my copy of Mail.

Mail.app I believe deals with HTML with 'MailWebPlugin.webplugin' which is located inside the Mail package. I wonder if this is partly broken and a reinstall of Mail.app would resolve the problem?

Howdy.
There are several re-install things you can do.
A. If you made a Mac OS X bootable DVD install disc or flash/thumb
drive, you can re-install things and the system from that. One option
is to re-install so none of your applications, documents, files, music,
photos are impacted and all will still be present.
Or, insert the install DVD or flash/thumb drive. Locate the folder
named Packages. Look in Packages for Mail.pkg.
Launch Mail.pkg and you should be able to re-install Mail.
Still a good idea to have a backup first!
Note that if you bought the new Mac but don't have a bootable Mac OS X
DVD disc or flash/thumb drive you can still make one. You can access
the App Store (for Macintosh) from your Mac, log in to your account
with your Apple ID and Password, go to the Purchases section, and
download Mac OS X. Then use the download to burn a Mac OS X installer
DVD or install on a thumb/flash drive.
B. You can re-install things by booting into the Recovery partition
and re-installing.
C. Download fresh Mac OS X Mountain Lion installer, use the Disk Image
File included, burn your own Mountain Lion boot/install DVD (or do a
bootable flash/thumb drive).
C. Pacifist. This is a Shareware utility that is very useful.
<http://www.charlessoft.com/ >
Pacifist can look into a Mac OS X DVD installer disk and can be used to
extract a single app and re-install it. This would include Apple's
Mail program and others.
The new 3.x version of Pacifist can now check "receipt" files and then
check for the latest version of an individual app and re-install it.
I don't think Pacifist will work with the invisible Recovery partition
that is part of Lion and Mountain Lion but if someone knows it can do
this please comment!

Randy and all,
My late 2011 MacBookPro with OS X 10.8.4 and 16G Ram is having far too many spinning beach balls. First, I repaired permissions in Disk Utility. The messages reflected only three repairs.
Then, I�ve tried uninstalling Flash per these instructions and installing a newly downloaded version of Flash. It will not install. I�ve tried to go to the Flash cookies per these instructions and do not find any files there, only several folders which will not delete (go to trash) because I don�t have permission.
So, as matter now stand, I have NO Flash running anywhere and can�t get it installed.
I do intend to download and install yasuapp, and maybe that will fix this problem.
Any suggestions?

Randy and All,
After running Yasu, I still cannot install the download of Flash Player 11.
And, when I try to delete the cookies as described below for #SharedObjects, there�s only a folder with another folder nested inside, and neither can be opened or trashed. The error message says they are both locked. The names of the two are 3MM5GT29 and the nested folder is s.ytimg.com (capitalization as indicated).
I haven�t tried deleting the cookies for support.
Now what?

Assuming that you are logged in as an administrator, choose the selected folders, do a Get Info on them, and unlock them.

I need to use Full Disk Encryption on my laptops using 10.6.8, but them cannot use Time Machine. Does this change on 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9?
How does one backup a fully encrypted disk maintaining encryption? Can this be done on iOS devices. For my computers, regulatory agencies require this.
Any advice about doing this is greatly appreciated. EG, do the cloning programs, SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner created encrypted backups
IIRC, The encryption key uses ones login password. Is this still true? I woukd want to use a very strong key.
TIA,
BIll B

Howdy.
This is a major mystery!
I have had 6 or 7 folders on my Desktop for a long time.
This morning I noticed that they have all, somehow, been renamed and
not by me.
An example is a folder I created when I downloaded an app named Icon
Creator.
This folder has a zip file in it.
This morning the folder name was:
Icon Creator>>EMPTY<<==EMPTY==
Several other folder have the same >>EMPTY<<==EMPTY== added to end of
the original folder name.
The folders open, still have content, and were backed up by Time
Machine.
None of my other hard drives have any folders with the name EMPTY
added.
Only folders on my Desktop boot drive were renamed.
What's going on?
I have no idea what did this and can't find any answers.
Any thoughts by group members?

This is a major mystery!
I have had 6 or 7 folders on my Desktop for a long time.
This morning I noticed that they have all, somehow, been renamed and
not by me.
An example is a folder I created when I downloaded an app named Icon
Creator.
This folder has a zip file in it.
This morning the folder name was:
Icon Creator>>
Several other folder have the same >>EMPTY<
the original folder name.
The folders open, still have content, and were backed up by Time
Machine.
None of my other hard drives have any folders with the name EMPTY
added.
Only folders on my Desktop boot drive were renamed.
What's going on?
I have no idea what did this and can't find any answers.
Any thoughts by group members?

Never heard of this, and can't explain. CONSOLE could tell you what and when it occurred.

Good idea. Forgot about checking console.

That's what I do. I installed Disk Warrior on my main drive. I clone the main drive weekly. When I need to run Disk Warrior I boot from the clone, and run Disk Warrior on the main drive. I still think it's a good investment unless you are almost penniless.

Holy moly I had to check that as I couldn't believe that DW is now $100. Glad I bought a used disk for $20 and upgraded from that! :s

I'm following a discussion regarding search engines and security. Someone made this statement:
"Seems pretty clear to me. You get anonymized if you go through the proxy, but not if you don't. It [a proxy] also disables javascript so the website you reach via proxy can't run code on your machine and potentially get information that way."
Filtering out the pros and cons of proxies, I thought maybe the author of that statement meant java, not javascript?
The risks of enabling java on personal computers is well-known. Is javascript also insecure? Or is that statement wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

Only problem I am aware of on Mac is a js exploit used to call Java which
then ran another exploit. Apple fixed that. Of course, not a problem if
you didn't have Java in the first place.
JS exploits are more of a problem on Windows, and email is used quite a bit
as the attack vector - a vulnerable computer only has to open an email, and
some email programs don't let you delete an email unless you open it first.
Such as the default mail program on my Windows tablet.
