This has been happening to me ever since I upgraded to PM v. 5.01 (from
v. 4) a few weeks ago. Happens on both my B&W G3 (OS 10.3.4) and my new
iBook G4 (OS 10.3.5 - I seem to be one of the lucky ones w/ no problems
w/r/t the 10.3.5 upgrade). I have repeatedly re-downloaded and re-
installed the scripts, and restarted PM and/or the computers, but nothing
keeps the "Burst Digest" scripts from throwing up the same dialog for
every message they "burst out" (i.e., every sub-message w/in the digest).
Again, everything worked fine until the upgrade to PM v. 5.
I just did a search on my archive of the PM discussion list, and was
disappointed to find that there hasn't been any word of these problems
since March, so I guess nobody's come up w/ a solution.

"What do you think happens when someone dies?"
"They can't do nothin anymore. Most religious sumbuck talkin
couldn't persuade me that they can do much. Don't add up. God created an
impossible situation."
Patrick thought that this was a dignified appraisal, no Ahab railing
against mortality, but simply the observed, which in the end was harsh
enough: that for one who could stand it, those who sought to strike the
sun for an offense seemed like cheap grandstanders; and they were
certainly in no shortage.
