Forwarded drafts treatment: is it a bug or a feature?
What's the story with if I write a draft, save it, forward it for previewing and then when I want to send it PowerMail claims that the message has been receieved, which it has of course not been, and do I want to make a duplicate? Wouldn't it be more useful if a forwarded draft was treated just like any other draft? Or am I missing a useful aspect of this behaviour?

Re(2): attachment behaviour
I discovered about 4-5 months ago that if you hold down the option key while moving attachments, you copy them and they stay with the message too. This method avoids all the problems of missing attachments and the tendency of PM to hang when you do a search and click on a message with a moved attachment in the find results window. So now I just copy attachments rather than move them. I keep a folder on the upper left hand corner of the desktop as a dropping point for these. Then I move them from this folder to their final destination. I also have a chord set on my Kensington 4-button trackball for hide others so I can get to this folder quickly. - Bob Moody [EMAIL PROTECTED] 936 Frog Pond Road Staunton VA 24401 800-326-9192 www.bobmoody.org The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say, or do: First: Is it the TRUTH?

Well no, that's exactly what I mean. Example: say I have a message containing some attachments, selected and visible in the browser (3-pane view). I go to the finder and move the attachments. I switch back to PM, and all of a sudden the attachments are greyed out. I then do something else with PM -- look at a different message, change folders, whatever -- then go back to the original message. Lo and behold, its attachments are black and movable again. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca

attachment behaviour
I just dragged some attachments sent to me from the mail window to a certain folder on my HD. When I got back to the mail sent to me I noticed the attachment icons now were greyed out and un-clickable. I thought PM now was supposed to support this. Am I wrong?
