Re(2): Kanji (was: Problems with Attachments in 5.5)
Mark, Don't throw the towel in just yet on this, we'll have to investigate. jean michel/ctm qa On Thu, 26 Oct 2006 08:28:39 +0900, Mark S. P.

I guess this is a feature that only works for Cocoa applications. No, this is a Kotoeri feature that works (or should work) in any application, Carbon or Cocoa (not that the Carbon vs Cocoa dichotomy makes much sense nowadays). BTW, this issue has been already discussed on this mailing list in the past (in April 2006). Apparently, PowerMail special-cases the tab key and eats it before Kotoeri can process it. It looks like this wasn't fixed for version 5.5 (there were much more urgent issues to address), but I'm confident CTM Engineering will eventually cure the problem. -- marco -- It's not the data universe only, it's human conversation.

PowerMail Cache
I'm trying to free some room on my overcrowded hard disk, and I noticed PowerMail has a cache folder that takes up some space: ~/Library/Caches/PowerMail/ Can I safely delete this folder? (while PM isn't running, of course) Can I assume PM will automatically regenerate the cache files when it needs them? TIA, -- marco -- It's not the data universe only, it's human conversation.

2GB limit issue in 5.5?
Hi all, hoping someone might have an answer to this that I couldn't find with a quick search. The issue is that I am getting the warning in powermail about it's 2GB database size limit. However, the database it's warning me about is only 10.3MB. This only started happening after the upgrade to 5.5 upgraded the said database. Thanks!

Re: Kanji (was: Problems with Attachments in 5.5)
Mark, thanks, but I just don't get the window. I was typing a Japanese sentence at least 10 times. When I'm on the dot the proper Kanjis automatically appear. I tried it with TextEdit and Jedit X. But I'm usually not writing much Japanese. greetings from the cold mountain ;-) Matthias Am/On Fri, 27 Oct 2006 09:37:22 +0900 schrieb/wrote Mark S. P.
