My bro lives on campus where everyone has an Apple Powerbook. So he goes reply to an email from one of his Dell using buds. His friend tells me he got the reply but the message was blank, like he sent a message without typing anything. All I can think of is he, for some reason used a font unsupported by Windows or that his friend didn't have. Would you say that's the case or are there are things to concider? Thanks
It could be any number of things; maybe he's using a white font on a textured backround, and their email client is sanitizing the email, thereby removing the backround, effectively rendering the email as white on white?
Thanks for the idea but I doubt he'd get that tricky. I don't think Apples mail uses TimesNewRoman so I suspect that's the case. Though I can't imagine he would've selected an obscure font. He's not into messing around and most likely hit the reply button, typed whatever he had in mind and sent it off. I'll hear more about this soon I imagine.
Even if another system didn't have the same font, it would simply use a substitute font instead, not fail to display it. It's definately a problem with the way he's sending it. Why not just tell him to send the email in plain text?
Really? I didn't know it was smart enough to substitute, well there's that idea out the window. He'll probably have sent it again by now so I'll see what happens.
