Hi, I have been using PowerMail for about nine years now and am still fairly happy with it as compared to Apple's Mail program which I use at work.
Recently however, due to an RSI injury from too much computer use, I have been making more use of speech recognition and handwriting recognition (" ink"). Unfortunately, PowerMail doesn't play well with either technology. For speech recognition, Apple lets you define commands on the fly for specific programs by saying "define a keyboard command" which it then stores in the "~/Library/Speech/Speakable Items/Application Speakable Items" folder. Although it looks like I can define a command from PowerMail, the command never shows up in the appropriate folder, and putting commands or applescripts into the folder by hand has no effect. In regards to "ink", it kind of works, but when using the "write anywhere" mode (which I normally use), all of the words get jumbled together without spaces! This doesn't happen in any other programs I've used and some research on Google suggested that some older programs might have this trouble. Anyway, I'm not tying to complain, but just wanted to make sure you're aware of the difficulties and to encourage you to fix these problems in a future release. I'm using 5.2.3 build 4406 on Mac OS X 10.4.6 (PPC). Thanks, -Ryan
