How does that add any benefit over the menu commands in the View menu?

This has already been done.  Update to a 5.2 beta. :)

Again, I agree with this.  The double-click behaviour is probably the
single biggest usability problem I have with Powermail, and it has
existed since day one.  Somebody please make it go away!

Well, look at that!  Thanks a lot!  Strange that dragging works and
pasting does not!

Thanks for the response. I did have the previous version of the beta
release in my Applications folder in case I needed to go back to an
earlier release. I have now removed it.
Spotlight and PowerMail are working well together.

There is a bug in 10.4 that will prevent the Spotlight importers to work
if you have multiple occurrences of them. As the PowerMail importer is
bundled with the PowerMail application, make sure you have only one
occurrence of the PowerMail 5.2 application on your machine.

Suggestion

[Lane Roathe]

Hi,

It just occurred to me that there is a quick, easy and intuitive solution
to the view all/view only unread issue.

How about allow the user to click on the " messages" to show all
messages, and the "xxx unread" to show only unread messages. Further, the
currently displaying mode could be highlighted somehow so you could see
that you are only showing unread messages. In the case of 0 unread
messages one extra adjustment would be needed, and that would be to show
"0 unread" if "show unread only" was currently active on that folder.

This would seem to allow for easily switching between the views w/o the
keyboard (which I find awkward... I never use accelerators for the most
part), as well as having a quick and easy to spot indicator of which view
is active. Should help when you can't find that file you trashed but you
are only view unread in the trash folder. :)

Oh, and of course I still would be SO HAPPY to have the ability to turn
off the darn double-click to launch URL "feature" so I can once again
easily copy all the dang urls I work with daily. :) (and, just to be
clear, if turned off Cmd-Click would launch URL's just as double-click would).

Hello,

Just select the list, then drag it to the recipients window of an open
email window.

How to write to many people at once with comma separated list?

[Sean McBride]

Hi,

If you put many people in the 'destination' field, then select them all,
then 'copy' you get this:

John Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jane doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

That is, you get a comma separated list.  But how can I take a list like
that, and paste it into PM so I can mail all those people?

Thanks!

I got exactly the same error but then, as you say, Spotlight works fine
with Powermail messages thereafter.

I checked my preferences and Spotlight indexing was enabled - I remember
it came up and asked me if it could go ahead and index the database when
I originally set it.

I reset the Spotlight preference and saved, then went back in and turned
it on again and went through the indexing again. This time it stopped on
an error:
"A file error occurred, File not found, File not found, Class=file;
what=2; when=100; err=-43"

But Spotlight is now working for PowerMail e-mails so the error must
have done some good!
