NOooo... :O !!! Does the window grey out and menubar become inactive? Or maybe less shadow is the Leopard inactive look... Or will Apple care about a Tiger problem now that Leopard is out? Hrm... I do want CTM to dissect that database (it's not very big) and see if there's anything significant about the five messages I marked, and how PowerMail handles them. We've had crashers before. Chris --
