Oh, and it bears mentioning (I should have put this in the other 
response, I was too quick on the Send):

The other two patches on my FTP site do the following:

patch1.sit - This alters Emailer so it parses the POP server out of the 
Email Account field backwards rather than forwards. Currently, Emailer 
breaks the username from the POP server by reading forwards on that field 
until it hits an @ sign. This is a problem if you have a mail account 
that needs the full email address as the username and can't take some 
other symbol in place of the first @. By installing "Patch 1", Emailer 
will now break the username and POP server reading from the END of the 
field towards the front. This means it will break at the last @ not the 
first. This will enable you to use a username that contains an @ sign in 
it.


patch2.sit - This alters Emailer so that it checks email before sending 
email. Currently Emailer sends email before checking. This causes a 
problem if you are trying to use POP Authentication (Check before Send 
Authentication). Previously people had to either use an AppleScript to 
reverse the order or do their check/send manually. By installing "Patch 
2", Emailer will check email and then send email, so Emailer will now POP 
Authenticate by itself much like most other mail clients will do. This 
only effects a full connection (Connect Now). You can still manually 
choose to either send or check your email, and the Send Now button in an 
email window still works as it did. So it does not force you to check 
your email every time you send, all it does is causes Emailer to run the 
Check routines before it runs the Send routines when Emailer is told to 
run both.

Patch 2 also contains the Patch 1 change, so you don't need to install 
both, just install Patch 2 and you get both features.


Both of these patches were created by me, but are released as 
unsupported. I've done basic testing and they appear to work without 
adverse effects. However, I really have no way of knowing for sure that 
they didn't break some other feature of Emailer, so if you choose to use 
them, you use them at your own risk. For that reason, I recommend that 
only people who need their abilities should install them.
