Economy-x-Talk - Sample Scripts

Change Mail's default text display

Changing Mail.App's default display setting for e-mail messages from html to plain text.

First, I tried Pref Setter to edit Mail.app's plist file. This failed because I could not find the key PreferPlainText. So, I used the terminal and entered the shell syntax you see here.

Now, I opened the plist file again, using Pref Setter and this time the key was available. Apparently, the PreferPlainText key does not exist by default and Mail.app doesn't create it by itself if you change this setting in its menu. Maybe a bug?





defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE
