I get the "are you sure" response if I try to open more than 10
messages. Perhaps this should also be made active for responses or other
operations on more than, say 10, messages:
So if you hit "reply" with more than 10 messages selected you get a
dialog stating something like:
"Are you sure you want to reply to ## messages? ("##" Being the number
of messages of course)

broken mails not retrievable
Hi all. For some reason, I've been getting regular internet connection outages at around the same time every night -- nothing to do with Powermail of course, but it does have a side effect. Often the connection goes down during a mail fetch, and I find that I am left with a half-downloaded, broken-icon message. The problem is that if (once service is restored) I use either of PM's options for dealing with this message -- 'Retrieve completely now' or 'Retrieve completely at next connection' -- the message is NOT retrieved but it's Status icon changes to indicate that it is no longer on the server. So it's lost, and I have no way to know whether it was just spam or a request for me to do a billion dollars worth of design work for the Apple. (I know, I know.) Is this a fault with PM? I have to assume that it is, since it is PM that is manipulating the messages on the server (flagging them for deletion, deleting as necessary, etc). FWIW, my settings are for PM to leave messages on the server for 1 day after download, just in case (which was supposed to avoid this problem). I guess I should update to the full finished version of 5.5 (to be honest, until I checked I thought I was using the last previous non-beta version; I'd forgotten that I'd upped to the 5.5 beta2 a while back). Is there anything different about PM's handling of broken messages between the beta I'm using and the full version?
