Re: Attachments
a feature I dont find in PM: the 'clip' icon soo you know you have attachments! ( and related window to open the specific one that just arrived Look at your messages in list view (e.g. 3-pane) and make sure you see the 'size' column - it shows the attachment symbol in there if the message has an attachment.

Re: Extended Characters using Unicode! Thank You!
hello: I've been following this thread as I too am interested in making the apple say an apple. I often use characters from PopChar, but I've also suspected these characters may not translate. Jerôme's response to use UTF-8 sounds like the answer especially as messages will still be sent in ISO-8859-1 unless such characters are present. Preferences shows two UTF-8 options: Unicode UTF 8 ,1.1 , and UTF 8, 2.0 . I assume the 2.0 option is the correct one, but would someone let me know which as I plan to make this change. I'm really pleased to have this info as I do use those special characters fairly often. Thank you Wayne, and Jérôme for the great information. I had given up on this, but now I have some options. Much appreciated. John Hay Quality is a result of intelligent effort.

Re: remove specific attachments from messages automatically?
Sorry about that reply, I have a specific PM filter that auto-replies to the word remove in the subject line... LOL - I guess you will need to adjust THAT one ;-) ---marlyse (too tired to begin working but not too tired to babble)
Re: Address book sync?
I'd rather have it sync with my Palm address book, but that's another story. Same here, I use the apple Address book rather as a backup or to get my addresses also onto my desktop where rarely I use Mail to send something (faster then first transferring to the PB (which is my admin station)) - the reason I use the Address book so little is because if I use that to sync with my Palm my Palm's own syn gets disabled and the Address book does not (or did not) create categories and then also stopped syncing to the Palm which I did not want to have happen and it was a big mess when I tried getting Palm-Apple-PM as one big happy sync family. it sounded great but either I had too little coffee that day or there are truly still a few flaws in the process. The other day I was positively surprised when I changed an address here in PM and it automatically updated to the Address book (had forgotten that I had set it to that;-) it's a nice feature. ---marlyse
Re: Attachments
it seems in PM there is no way to know which msgs have them which not. Can this be true or am I missing something? Fortunately false. In the mail browser window look at the Size column (by default it's to the right). If there's an attachment a little paperclip appears before the message size (the paperclip is also printed on the column header, hint, hint). If you don't see that column, go View View Options... and be sure the attachment/size box is checked. Attachments will be listed at the bottom of the message in either the mail browser window (3 pane view) or the message opened into its own window. If there are a number of them you will see a scroll bar there too to go through them. If you hold down the control key you get additional options regarding attachments (Open attachment, Show in Finder, Move to trash). Chris --

Most will, but you will find some still won't.

Re: Attachments
hello all! I just joined the list as I am looking at PM - I need something to run under 9/X, so may have to give up Emailer (gasp!) But it is still the best - at least it seems so as it has a feature I dont find in PM: the 'clip' icon soo you know you have attachments! ( and related window to open the specific one that just arrived) I receive lots of them - but it seems in PM there is no way to know which msgs have them which not. Can this be true or am I missing something? I hope I am wrong because I would like to become a PM convert not run classic for emailer while in OSX. Thanks! Buy a Mac and be thought a fool or buy a Windows box and remove all doubt.

Re: Address book sync?
Jonathan Greene on 3/12/03 said How exactly does this work? It seems to work at about 80%... I have contacts who have been added in PM, and who make it back to AB, but not all. Same the other way. Not all my original names have made it to PM. Also, while groups have synced over, not all the names in the groups are there. Thoughts? Well, my own personal opinion [how can anyone have an opinion that isn't there own personal opinion, come to think of it] is that neither address book is really a very good one. I don't like the V-card format which the Apple address book uses. The PowerMail address book is actually more what I like, a simple name and address, but it does have its limitations. The only sync I actually do is every once in a while so there is a backup in the Apple address book, but I don't actually use that one. I'd rather have it sync with my Palm address book, but that's another story. So, there is my non-answer to your question. Except that apparently I agree some improvement is needed. -- Barbara Needham
Tri-Backup Network rights (not PowerMail issue)
At 10 mars 2003, 06.58 CET, John Hay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: After having struggled with the most confusing convoluted cryptic application ever conceived (Retrospect), then CCC, I'm now in heaven. I use Tri-Backup which is SOO simple to use, SO reliable, it's utterly ridiculous. Where was this great app all my life. Someone on this list turned me onto it a few months ago and I've never looked back. You can't beat the price either, just fifty bucks! Tri-Backup here: http://www.tri-edre.com/english/tribackup.html I can't say enough about it. I have no interest in the product other than just being a totally satisfied OSX user. At last! Just a thought, it may or may not meet all your needs the way it has mine. I downloaded the Tri-Backup after your enthusiastic words, after having had some tech problems with Synchronize! Pro X http://www.qdea.com/ pages/pages-sprox/sprox1.html which also retails at double the prize. Anyhow, the tech problems seem not to be so much because of the softwares or OSX themselves as because of my own very limited tech knowledge. Which leads to a few questions that really are outside the subject PowerMail, but since there is so much general knowledge in this group I though I'd take a chance and ask anyhow. Please tell me if you think I'm out of line, and I'll stick to PowerMail issues in the future. 1) I have a small (2 Macs) LAN with OSX v10.2.4 on the main machine and OS 9.2 on the other, which I use as mail backup server etc. Now, you can give Tri-Backup root rights so it can take care of automated OS volume backups etc, but when doing so it can't find the backup server anymore. Or rather, it finds the server and says there are no (zero) files on it. On the server, I have created one root and one normal (my normal user account on the OSX machine) user account and put them together in a group. I've tried to give the server volumes different sharing rights (root, group, normal user etc) and I've tried to connect to the server both as root and normal but nothing helps. If I deactivate the Administrator Authorization there are no problems, Tri- Backup finds the server and can perform its task. But the main idea with this is to have Tri-Backup running at all times, performing different kinds of backups, isn't it? There must be a way to configure the network itself (and probably a quite easy one, if you know your way around computers). Can you help? 2) The second issue is connected with the first one, as it needs to have Administrator Authorization activated: I have a special volume for mirroring the OSX drive locally. I set this up for use with Synchronize! Pro to be able to create a bootable mirror volume. It worked but I had to log out and log back in as root to be able to do it, and thus the idea of automatic backups was gone. I read Tri-Backup can perform bootable backups as well, and I tried to do it. It seems like Tri-Backup backed up even the hidden files and all, but most files where placed in a _folder_ with the same name as the volume backed up. Which makes it un-bootable. This must be a simple mistake made by me when setting it up, but I can't figure out how to do it right. I somebody can guide me through it I'd be very happy. Thanks for your attention and, again, please forgive me if I am way out of line with this message. Max G
