Re(2): Evaluating Powermail: 3 Questions
When running under 8.6, does the HTML viewer even work? I have my Powerbook 1400 set up with two boot partitions, one for 8.6 and one for 9.1. I _think_ I recall that when I first tried Powermail under 8.6, the HTML viewer wouldn't work (or maybe it didn't work right). I copied the HTMLRenderingLib from my 9.1 partition, and everything worked fine from there. For running Powermail without automatically viewing HTML content, here are some relevant settings: Under Edit/Preferences/HTML reader, you can check 'Enable HTML reader', but leave the choices for 'Prefer HTML when plain text is available' and 'Download external pictures if connected' _un_checked. This will allow you to see the message content if a sender of HTML messages is kind enough to include plain text (without rendering the HTML), and will also not load images on HTML messages, which is one way to suppress a possible security risk. BTW - If you are using iCab as your default browser, and want to view HTML messages from Powermail, make sure that the iCab preferences are set to have iCab deal with the FILE protocol. Otherwise, iCab will open to a blank window. -- Don V. Zahniser [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, Aug 8, 2003, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm running OS 8.6 on a Power Computing Clone.
[ANN] PowerMail 4.2 public beta now available
Greetings, We are hereby pleased to announce the availability of the PowerMail 4.2 public beta release, which can be directly downloaded from: == http://www.powermailtech.com/pm4.2b1.sit == This has been extensively tested both in-house and by devoted external testers; nevertheless, please see read this text entirely in order to use this non-final software efficiently and responsibly, thank you. What's new in the PowerMail 4.2 public beta (from version 4.1.3) - Now includes entirely new CTM FoxTrot(TM) high-speed search technology; benefits over previous PowerMail releases include: * Ultra-fast indexing and searching: benchmarks show performance gains ranging from 300% to over 500% * Instant on-the-fly indexing upon fetching messages * New extensible search user interface with combinable fields - similar to Panther's Finder searches * Supports the following search criteriae: - Entire message content - Subject - Body - From - To - From or To - other message attributes: - Date sent [range] - Date received [range] - Label - Account * Supports the following combinable search operators: - Ability to restrict searches to subject, to, from or body - Includes all of the words - Includes exact phrase - Includes at least one of the words - Does not include the words - matches the search pattern (advanced mode): - Search literal (ie: the quick brown fox) - Search words starting with (ie: quick brown f* ) - Omit words (ie: quick brown -shoe -typewriter) - OR searches (ie: quick|rapid|fast brown fox) * Offers colored hiliting of search results in a message's body * Other improvements over previous searching in PowerMail 3 and 4: - Gets rid of all former Lady errors - Background indexing now fully reliable on Mac OS X - Numbers are now indexed - Supports Japanese, Chinese and Korean properly (entirely based on Unicode) - Most of the re-indexing process occurs in a background thread, allowing simultaneous work in the application (this used to only be true for updating the index) * FILTERING can now also occur based on a message's content (notably useful for creating customizeable built-in spam filters) * IMAP SEARCHES now possible and very fast due to indexing of the local IMAP cache (once connected, the search dialog will allow restricting searches to the selected IMAP mailboxes) * Still supports Mac OS X, Mac OS 9 and even 8.6 * Now compatible with the Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) preview builds [Note: this test version is currently not localized in French, Japanese, Dutch or German; these translations will be included in the final 4.2 version.] --- 4 steps to better searching - how to install: --- 1. Make a backup of your current PowerMail files folder. Although we are confident enough to use this software on our own main databases, keep in mind that PowerMail 4.2b1 will make changes to your current databases which will no longer be readable by 4.1.3. As with any pre-release software, use it at your own risk. 2. Install PowerMail 4.2b1 and launch it; as a default, a fresh folder named PowerMail files 4.2 will be created in your User folder. If you wish to convert a copy of your 4.1 database (see point 2 above), use Switch user environments in the Database submenu of the File menu 3. After converting your database and deleting your now-obsolete V-Twin indexes, PowerMail should automatically begin the indexing process. If for some reason you wish to rebuild your index later, you may do so with the Rebuild Indexes item of the Database submenu of the File menu 4. Once the index is complete, start searching ! Compare former search results and performance, and please discuss your findings either: - on the PowerMail discussion list - using the Send a message to PowerMail support option in the Help menu of registered versions - if needed, by private post to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are especially interested in possible crash logs with the situations that might have lead to them, are also of interest.

don't set PM to automatically render html - exactly for this reason. if you want to see the message rendered, you can click onto the little globe at the bottom to be taken to your preferred web browser or select 'render html' from the little popup menu (also at the bottom of an html message). thus you can safely look at headers all you wish w/o any dangers involved. ---marlyse original message(s) follows Ben, Thus spoke Ben Kennedy [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Friday, 8 August 2003 at 7:12 AM +1000: Unlike Microsoft products, PM won't arbitrarily start executing attachments or javascript code or anything simply by displaying an e-mail message.

Workaround on displaying/headers I use my web browser (Safari, Mac OSX 10.2.6) to go into webmail on my ISP and look in my mailbox. I then select all messages. Then I unselect the ones I want to keep and click on delete. No spam ever gets downloaded, and I can view the messages from within the server mailbox and see the headers. The message is still on the server, not on my machine, so no attachments get downloaded.

Re: Evaluating Powermail: 3 Questions
The Internet Deity HaTMooL sez: I have no clue what you just said; RFC? PM doesn't recognize the Priority header? The Priority header does not officially exist. Different email clients use priority in different ways so there are no guarantees the person you're sending it to will get a priority or the right priority unless they use the same mail client. (Or use one of the few that do match up.) This is the same for the Notify of Receipt command which is also, I believe, not necessarily standard amongst all servers and clients, so one never knows just how such a thing will be recognized, if it even is. -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com
