inconsistency with addresses
Howdy all! If you right-click on a From: email address, you get the following menu choices: Copy Reveal in Address Book Open Contact Open Contact in PowerMail Address Book New Message To The Reveal in Address Book choice opens the contact in PowerMail's address book. So, essentially, it appears you have three ways (items 2, 3, 4) to view the same contact in the PowerMail address book, but still no way to open the address in Apple's Address Book. But wait; if you choose item 3, Open Contact it actually does open Apple's Address Book - to reveal the contact. Confusing, isn't it? My preferences are set to use Apple's Address Book in Preferences SynchronizationOpen contacts in Apple Address Book by default. If you right-click on a From: email address, that isn't already in your Address Book, the menu choices are: Copy Add to Address Book New Message To That menu makes sense (although it obviously isn't concerned with honoring the preferences) because once again, you end up in PowerMail's address book. But once you finish adding the email address to the address book, a right-click on a contact gives the following menu choices: Delete Address Book item Open item ... Open contact in PowerMail Address Book To CC BCC Items 2 3 are the same because they perform the same actions and the menu choices are again different if the contact you right-click on is a group. That tiny and easy to overlook dot (eyeball?) that is for searching the PM address book should be changed. Every time I end up in the PM address book, I'm looking all over for a search trigger. There is a lot of space next to the To, CC, and BCC buttons, and I do literally mean a LOT of room for a visually acute FIND button. Some people don't have perfect vision and that tiny thing looks like a smudge - be considerate of those with visual impairments. Ok. I just had to get that off my chest because I've spent a lot of time creating various AppleScripts to add email addresses to my Apple Address Book and to groups in the AAB. I keep thinking it's going to be fixed in each upgrade/update, but that has yet to happen. It's a major nuisance to me, but I've refrained from mentioning it since I did so months ago. I have a long list of things I might have to mention now and then, so they aren't forgotten. cheshirekat -- Great music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty.

Re: powermail-discuss HTML mail
It's actually a lot easier. - Disable HTML (good thing to do!) - Click the globe - view in browser - Highlight text which you want to get it quoted -- Cmd+C -- Back to PM -- Click on the body of reply -- Cmd+' (single quote key) I do this all the time, except when I want to tell the sender to stop sending me HTML, that I quote all the HTML tags back purposely! -- - Hiro [PROTECTED] [PROTECTED] [PROTECTED]
Cannot get rid of old mailserver
Hello, I recently switched mailservers, and set up the information for the new mailserver, but could not get to work until I called it primary.mail. Then all worked fine (pop account). Since I had taken down my old mail server, I deleted all the accounts related to that server. However, when I check mail, powermail still says it is trying to connect to the old mail server in the status bar at the bottom of the mail window. I am running 5.0.1, but have been a licensed customer since the early 4.x versions. This is particular problem because I am traveling hand have a very limited internet connection.

Re: powermail-discuss HTML mail
- i can't select any text in an html-only email! and when i hit reply, it doesn't quote anything. is PM supposed to work that way? half the emails i get have some sort of formatting, even if it's just a default. i'm a little flabbergasted if this is 'normal'. If you are using a browser (via PowerMail) to read the HTML mail, then it is normal. If the mail is coming through as plain text but with HTML code interspersed, then you can select the text and choose reply to have it quoted back. Just choosing reply will not quote the text. Another option is to use a text scrubber (for example, textSoap) to clean up the HTML code in the plain text e-mail. From within PM this will create a clean, duplicate e-mail to which you can then reply like any other e-mail. --Ira
can't send mail
I hope someone can help - my wife can't send mail from Powermail anymore (powermail version is 5.0.1). I really don't understand. I suspected a corrupted database problem, but we tried creating a new user environment and re-entered the account information and powermail still can't send mail. She has the same mail server I have (though a different account) and can recieve mail normally. The only difference is that my computer is OS 10.3.4 and her computer is OS 10.2.8 (I don't want to upgrade it to panther because there is a problem with printing to an airport base station printer under panther and it's good to have one computer that can print normally). When trying to send a message, a dialog box saying A file error occurred, clicking on more info shows Class=file; what=100; when=1; err=-50. This happens twice before being returned to message compose window. How can we get her Powermail to send mail again? John R.

Re: more html issues
You can also go to https://www.ctmdev.com/tools/index.html and get a script that cleans a mail from html, making it possible to answer it with quoted text. If you have BBEdit, I'd recommend HTML Cleanup by Wayne Brissette. If not, try html CleanUP by W. Eric Tyson.

RE: more html issues
That is normal. PM is not an HTML-based emailer. All those features are due to HTML. If that's how you want your email, you probably need to use a different program.

Re: Filter not working ?
On Sun, Jun 27, 200411:39 AM, the following words from Midi Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED], emerged from a plethora of SPAM ... Check for two things: 1. The order in which the filters are applied. 2. Stop applying filters to this message which is near the bottom of the dialogue box when you view the filter. I think you could accomplish this (depending on all your other filters) by doing the list filter first without the stop applying filters then filter your undesirables. With my filter setup, I deal with the KNOWN and OBVIOUS undesirables first. Any ambivalence seems to be too weighty in my filters. This means the following are filtered to the trash immediately so they aren't acted upon by other filters: 1. People who reply to digests without changing subject - subject contains digest. 2. People who send Out of Office autoreply messages to mailing lists. Anyone important will notify me directly about their in office status. 3. People who send is away on vacation messages to mailing lists. Again, important people let me know, just as I let them know without accidently sending numerous autoresponse messages to mailing lists. 4. People I just find annoying. IMO, you just can't enjoy your friends when the enemy interferes. So, all my enemy filters are at the very top of the list and go immediately to the trash. The filter doesn't mark them as read, so I know at a glance if an undesirable message is in my trash. It takes me a couple minutes at most to check and empty the trash, which I do before reading other messages so my trash can be kept empty. I also empty the trash of read messages before checking for new messages. -- Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.

iPhoto cannot choose PM
I am using the new PM 5.0.1 along with iPhoto 4.0.1. I can no longer choose PM as the email application in iPhoto to be used when emailing pictures while using iPhoto. In the iPhoto preferences PM is grey and cannot be chosen. I've redone the permissions and restarted, but that does not help. Anybody know what happened? Dan
