Removing the “Sent from My iPhone” Signature

This is actually the same on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, though we’ll focus on the iPhone for obvious reasons:

• Tap on the “Settings” app
• Tap on “Mail, Contacts, Calendars”
• Scroll down a ways and then tap on “Signature”
• Tap “Clear”, or just select all the text and delete it manually

Now exit from Settings. Any time a new mail message has been composed, sent, or replied to, the iPhone will no longer attach the “Sent from my iPhone” message with any emails.

The Delay Send option is used to postpone the transmission of your document to a later time or date. RightFax normally sends outgoing faxes as soon as a phone line becomes available, but sometimes you may want to delay an outgoing document to take advantage of off-peak phone rates or ensure that the recipient is available.

Sometimes you will get a bounce back from an e-mail address that you have used before. Please forward as an attachment the bounce back to mtrimmer@wlu.edu.  If it is determined that there is an invalid address that has gotten into your auto-complete address list you will need to remove the invalid address and manually enter correct address.

To remove the bad address you will need to remove the Name@address.com entry in you auto-complete list (the list of address that come up when you start typing in the To field). To remove the entry start typing “N” in the To field of a new message, use the arrow keys to move up and down the list until Name@address.com is highlighted, and press the Delete key.

After this you can manually type the address once and it will then again be in you auto-complete list, this time with the correct address.

This is usually caused by the following situation:

1.) The user is logged in as a@b.com.
2.) In the user's inbox there are two digests, one for a@b.com and one for c@b.com.
3.) The user is clicking on a message in the c@b.com digest in their inbox which tries to link them into the Portal directly to that message.
4.) However, since they are logged in as a@b.com, they have no rights to the message.

To remedy the situation they need to examine the subject line of the digest they are clicking on, and log into the Portal as the user specified in the subject of the digest.

Version 40 of Firefox intentionally disables authenticated content embedded in unauthenticated web pages if the page and content are in different domains. 

This can be manually fixed by:

• typing “about:config” in the address bar
• clicking “I’ll be careful, I promise!”
• searching for the Preference Name:  network.auth.allow-subresource-auth
• Click the “1” next to that in the Value column and change to “2”
• click OK. 

Once you refresh the page it will prompt for login. 

We do not provide copies of the address list for two primary reasons. 1 - it becomes a nightmare to troubleshoot issues as more and more out-of-date address lists are in use, 2 - if a machine holding these addresses gets infected with a virus that uses or collects addresses then our whole address list would be compromised.

This error may have been caused by opening four or more WebAdvisor hyperlink windows. For example, if a user is reviewing their budget and clicks on the Actuals, which opens a new window, then clicks on a Voucher, which opens a new window;  and the user does not close any of the child windows, and attempts to select another Actual, they will get the error.

All child windows must be closed using the CLOSE WINDOW button. If the user uses the browser's red X to close the windows, they will still get the error and be forced to log out and back in to WebAdvisor.

If this does not solve the problem you may need to review and then delete the webadvisor stored cookies.
