  • State changed from “new” to “resolved”

  Thanks for trying out MailMate.

  The location is correct, but you also need to use the stylesheet.css filename:

  ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css
  

  Currently, the best example is probably the default file:

  MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css
  

  Please share if you create an alternative.

  Note that these stylesheets only affect what is displayed in MailMate (plain text messages). They do not style the messages you send (I'm working on such a feature, but it's not ready yet).

  Question: when we want to affect how the emails look in MailMate.app, should we use the stylesheet called stylesheet.css

  located

  ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css
  

  or, should we use html_stylesheet.css

  located

  ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/html_stylesheet.css

  The first one affects plain text (including Markdown) emails for which MailMate generates HTML before displaying it.

  The second one should affect all displayed emails.

  Neither affects outgoing emails.

  So I tried the simple "green" stylesheet.css example, created the directory, and placed in

  ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css

  as instructed. Maybe something has changed since 2014, but after restarting a few times, still no effect?

  benny, it looks like some things have changed. Nothing I do to the stylesheets located here:

  /Users/Anthony/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/stylesheet.css
  

  or

  /Users/Anthony/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Resources/MmMessagesWebView/html_stylesheet.css
  

  ...do anything anymore :/

  I noticed there's a new file here:

  /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/Resources/css/stylesheet.css
  

  ...which is maybe trumping things now?

  @Anthony Craig

  I had the same problem after updating to BigSur and then MailMate Version 1.14 (5818).

  In a comment on ticket #2816 Benny mentions the new main.css. I was successful in using it to get the messages to be formatted the way I like it.

  @phph: This is correct. It might change again though.

  Right now, there's also headers.css and details.css, but ideally these won't be HTML views at all some day in the future (for performance reasons).
