Hi Peter,
Yes, If Data Detectors are working, which they are as the date I
sent you did.
Data Detectors look for strings of characters that might be dates,
times, names, phone numbers, or physical addresses.
Move your pointer over this address.
Apple Computer Inc
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
Click the arrow and it will show "Create New Contact", Add to
Existing Contact", Show Map, Large Type"
Does it work?
Cheers,

Hi Peter,
Something funny going on here.
Have you used this function before?
Move your pointer over this date: Wednesday 12th November 2008.
Does a dotted box appear around it, with a downward pointing arrow
on the right?
Click this arrow to display a contextual menu with options "Create
New iCal Event, "Show This Date in iCal".
Cheers,

Hi Peter,
Data Detectors should be working in both your accounts. They
work in POP & IMAP.
How they would become disabled, I have no idea.
Terminal is not all that scary Peter, you can copy & paste the
command in the Terminal Window.
Quit Mail,
Open Terminal & copy & paste this command below to turn Data
Detectors ON, in the Terminal Window,
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors NO
Then press Return
Open Mail and Data Detectors should be working.

Hi Ronnie,
I was looking for the data detectors in mail in my inbox.
My mail account is with iinet (pop) and I also tried in my .mac
account (imap I think)
Daniel emailed me to tell me the iPhone dock had arrived that I
ordered awhile ago.
I tried to use the data detector feature to place his info in
address book which would then sync with my iPhone.
cheers

Hi Peter,
Another couple of thoughts.
You aren't looking for Data Detectors in messages you are
composing or in Drafts are you?
The Data Detectors feature works only on messages you’ve
already received or sent, not on new messages you’re composing
(even if they’re stored in Drafts).
Or ... Is your Account a Leopard Server based account, (Home
directory on the server)?
Local account - Data Detectors work
Server based account with home directory on the server - Data
Detectors DON'T work.
Cheers,

Hi Peter
It could be they are disabled as well.
Check this link here, may help:-
<http://mjtsai.com/blog/2008/07/29/turning-off-apple-data-detectors-in-mail/
This helps turn it on and off.
<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2008090414291347>
Might be worth "turning it on" :o)
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards

Afternoon All,
The data detector feature in mail does not seem to working
any more.
It has been suggested that this was an add on feature
although I seem
to remember it working at one stage
Can anyone help with this problem
(Macbook 2.2 GHz OS X 10.5.5)
