my mail.app suddenly stopped showing me to/cc header detail in all emails. I had a better look at it and those headers are there, but are displayed in white color. Details on image:

Missing headers

I tried changing color via Command + T, but it seems that it only changes email color, not text color. I also tried to remove file from ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and restarting the Mail.app, but that didn't help either.

How should I restore to the default behaviour?

  • Only in "all mails" or other places?

  • Other places as well, practically every email has those fields "blank"

  • Did you somehow modify any of the system fonts ?

  • Open Font-Book.app and under file run restore standard fonts.

Reset to default

In case the system fonts got modified somehow I recommend to reset them.

To do this open the app called Font-book and under the File tab click on the "Restore standard Fonts". Then, reboot the computer.

That should fix your problem.

  • I have the exact same issue, although restoring to standard font didn't helped. I also quit and relaunched the mail.app, restart the computer, but still no luck. any other tip you can share?

    nevermind, "restore Standard Fonts" and a reboot worked.
