Apple iMessage - ForceICQPlainText


I want to change ForceICQPlainText in ~/Library/Preferences/com.Apple.iChat.AIM.plist so my iMessage doesn't sends HTML-Code. But after I changed it and restarted my Mac 7 times I gave up.

Nothing seems to work:

ForceICQPlainText = ":true";

ForceICQPlainText = true;

ForceICQPlainText = "true";

ForceICQPlainText = ":yes";

ForceICQPlainText = "YES";

ForceICQPlainText = YES;

ForceICQPlainText = ":true";

What do I need to type, to get only text massages? I always did a reboot and I locked the file too.


Solution

  • shutdown messages

    open ~/Libriary/Preserences in finder

    find com.Apple.iChat.AIM.plis file

    open the plist in xcode (your might need to install it first, it's free)

    [cmd]-F to find the tag

    select "YES" in drop-down

    [cmd]-S to save

    close xcode

    [ctrl]-click on the file and select "Get Info"

    scroll down to very bottom

    select read-only instead read&write

    reboot your mac

    enjoy
