I was a late upgrader from PowerMail 5 to PowerMail 6. Here are a few impressions.
1. Great that I can now print HTML documents (without opening them in a web browser first). 2. Wish I could forward HTML documents. This really is essential these days. (Yes, I suppose I could open them in my web browser, then print to a PDF, then send an attachment. But really.) 3. Dragging a message from the In Tray to a folder doesn't show the message dragging. This is very disconcerting. The destination folder highlights when the cursor goes over it, but I can't easily tell that I'm still dragging something. And if I mis-drag I'm not sure I'll ever see where the message went as it's invisible. Is there a fix for this? 4. The highlight on a message being read in the In Tray is too bright. It's also almost impossible to read a message name that has been labeled, as these go dark against the blue highlight. Nor can you see how it's labeled. Definitely a step backward. 5. Hiccups - a calendar item that came as text originally, then as a calendar attachment that opened in iCal when someone else forwarded it to me. I suspect PowerMail could have handled the first one more elegantly. - HTML sometimes still doesn't show up. I have to click on another message, then back to the one in question. Sometimes several times. - could not copy the PowerMail 6 application from the downloaded Disk Image directly to my computer. Had to open it on an Intel Mac and hide it in a Zip file to get it onto my PowerPC computer. - HTML messages, which I suspect were improperly formatted without a text only section, come in as attachments instead of opening in PowerMail. I'm sure there are some benefits I am missing, but other than (FINALLY) being able to print what I see in an HTML document, I do not see much change. I am still getting used to the brighter blue and white bands separating messages and folders. They seem more distracting than helpful. I do appreciate the Rich Text formatting option, although I've not used it yet. I'd have preferred being able to forward HTML documents. - Winston
