I also did this on my MacBook, still didn't stop the data detectors being used in Mail. James A.

I open a terminal window from utilities and then I type: defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES I press enter then close and reopen Mail but the data detector voicing has not disappeared. What am I doing wrong? ThanksAllen allen.jd42@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
