Hi all,
I can't get rid of the blue highlighting of Mail messages from Apple. I've gotten rid of it before (deleted all the "rules" about messages from Apple, and unchecked the box in "Viewing") but it's back and I can't get rid of it. I've got the latest update from Snow Leopard. Any ideas?
Thanks.
MBP 15" i7, 2.8GHz, hi-res, non-glare, Mac OS X (10.6.6), iPod Touch 4G, iPod Nano 5G, Aperture 3.1.1
Here's how I do it on a message-by-message basis.
Select the message in the list (top pane), Then open the Colors menu (button in the top menubar in the Mail window) and set its Palette pulldown menu to "Apple". Click the White item in the list of colors presented - sometimes I have to click that twice. And that takes care of that message.
Thank you! That worked, but hmmmmmm, there's no way to eliminate this generally?
Found it, I think.
Open Mail's Preferences (Mail menu in main menubar). In that screen, select the Rules item (rightmost icon in that window's menubar). In the list that opens, double-click the item named "News From Apple". A new screen will appear. At the bottom, in the "Perform the follwoing actions" section, is a preset for the color.
Selecting "Other" from the third (righthand) of the three pulldown menus opens the color menu and allows that to be reset to White.

I suspect that just removing the "News From Apple" item from the list in Rules will also get rid of the blue background for those messages.
I've removed it from the list in Rules, but will have to wait for a fresh Apple message to come in before I csn determine whether that was enough.
