Bugs & Fixes: Fix unreadable text in black Mail messages

So Mr. Landau suggests two fixes for this problem.

  • Click in the message area of the document and select “Make Plain Text” (Command-Shift-T) from the Format menu. While this tip works, it eliminates any hypertext links contained in the text. If you want to save such links, or otherwise preserve the initial rich text format…
  • Cut the entire text (using Command-A followed by Command-X) and press the Delete key. This removes the black background. Next, use Option-Shift-Command-V to paste back the cut text. The text will now be readable, with links preserved.

Curious how you can share your screen on iChat AV?

It might be an easy answer if you listen to Ralph. “Hi,

Go to the Video menu in iChat and enable the Screen Sharing there.
You do not have to have Screen Sharing in System Preferences >Sharing enabled. (they both use the Apple Remote Desktop engine but that is as far as it goes)

If the Buddy also has not Set Screen Sharing in iChat you tend not to be able to Share your screen even though you are the one instigating.

If the person is set to Screen Share in iChat at their end you tend to be able to “override” your Non setting and it will work.
(in effect there are levels of Permissions to the iChat Screen Sharing and you have to have it turned On for full functionality)”
