I see the "red dots" quite often, and if I keep PowerMail open for a long
writing/editing session, I can get one in nearly every line down the left
side of my window. (I have one to play with right now.) I'd say it's
smaller than a period. Maybe just a single pixel. They stick to the
window location regardless of scrolling, and through window moves, but
resizing the window kills them. When I look very closely, I can see that
there are actually a bunch of them on the inner left edge of the window,
but they are nearly invisible. I think somehow they 'clump' together and
then become visible (and annoying).

I have generated a couple of screenshots which seem to confirm their
presence and clumping and sent these along to PowerMail support.
