Re: Filter question
Craig; Filter only show up in the list if they have either the incoming or outgoing check-boxes selected, since whether a filter is greyed out or not is decided by PowerMail contextually (ie. if the message was sent by you then filters that only apply to incoming messages will be greyed out, if you *received* the message then the filters that apply to outgoing messages only will be greyed). The way to get around this is two stage: First you need to create a STOP filter in your filter list. Create a new filter, call it something like Stop point, set its activation condition to 'Always, DON'T give it any actions to perform but DO check the Stop applying filters... box. Put this filter at the end of your filter list; the result is that any filter check will stop at that point, regardless. Thus, any filters that you place AFTER the 'Stop Point' filter in the list can *only* be activated manually. Next, place your filter dealing with your redirected mail after the 'Stop Point' filter in the list. Select both Incoming and Outgoing check-boxes -- since you're triggering this filter manually it doesn't matter. Now you have a filter that you can activate manually and a place in the list to place any other filters that you want to be manually activated only.

Database Error
Hi Everyone; I just had to do some data recovery for a client of mine, and now her mail doesn't open. I get the following error: A database error occurred. Class=DB what=100 when=3 err=43 I've tried starting PM with apple-option to fix the database but I get the same error immediately. Any ideas? Is there a phone number to call CTM in Switzerland?

Re: Delete Message = Delete Attachments?
Thanks Zach. It's not quite what I'm after but should work most of the time. Sometimes I need to rename the attachment. I guess I could just rename the original after making the alias but you are correct -- it's a kludge. Thanks. -- Andy Fragen On Thu, Feb 26, 2004, Zach Selland said: On Wed, Feb 25, 2004, Andy Fragen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It there some way to re-attach attachments to received messages?

Hi Andy, You can use an alias to the file in the attachment folder to do this. It's a bit of a clunky workaround but it does work. Simply move your attachment out of the download folder and then move an alias to the attachment back into the download folder (make sure the alias has the exact name of the original). Then PM will be able to follow the original attachment wherever it may travel. Hope this helps...

Thanks Jim, Marlyse, and Wayne. I now have it working in Safari 1.2, yeah! But even with doing both recommended procedures, it's not working in Netscape 7.1.

Thanks, so long for now, TOM Has anyone been able to successfully configure Netscape 7.1 or Safari 1.2 to use PowerMail 4 as the mailto App? If anyone knows the config procedure, I'd appreciate it if they would share it.

Hi Tom, Has anyone been able to successfully configure Netscape 7.1 or Safari 1.2 to use PowerMail 4 as the mailto App? If anyone knows the config procedure, I'd appreciate it if they would share it. With OSX 10.3 (Panther) you need to go to Preferences in the OSX Mail application, and set PowerMail as your default mail app. Pretty poor design, IMHO.

Drafts
When saving a message as a draft, it's placed in the Out Tray. I'd like to have it saved in special Drafts folder instead. But I can't figure out how to do this automatically. I tried a filter... Conditions: Status is Draft Actions. Move message into folder Drafts ...but it didn't help (no matter if I check both incoming and outgoing messages). Even if I mark a draft and manually use the command Perform Filter nothing happens. I guess a draft is neither an incoming nor an outgoing message, and that's why the filter doesn't work. But on the other hand -- why do we at all have the Condition Status is Draft then...? Thanks for any help. Max Gossell Max Gossell -- OSX v10.3.1 PowerMail 5.0a5 Dual G4 1.2 GHz / 1GB RAM

No, sorry Jérôme - PowerMail Engineering - PowerMail's mail filter implementation is fantastic and very powerful, applicable to mail both sent and received (user specified of course). Almost every function of PowerMail is accessible via AppleScript and scripts can even be called as a result of a filter. Any person who has specific needs or automation needs should take a serious look at PowerMail; no 'buts' about it. . . . . . .
