Followup: STL error
I thought I replied back to the list after getting a query for further info, but apparently did not ... so to refresh, I had this problem: I have developed a recent problem when I quit Powermail. I get an error message that says STL exception occurred. I believe it was Jerome who replied: In the general preference pane, do you have some actions checked when quitting PM? If so, does doing these action manually also triggers the problem? Yes, and it appears, yes. I have the program set to empty the trash on quit. I tried to do that manually at your suggestion, and also got the STL error. And then was asked: Have you tried to compact your database? Or to low level rebuild it? Both, individually as well as doing the whole group of five repair options by launching when holding option+command. And it can only be done that way it seems; I tried to do the compact from within the program and got a memory error (not the STL error). I'm really quite frustrated, because this problem just began appearing out of nowhere. -- Thanks, Jeff Fishbein

This is how I set the filter up: Conditions If number of recipients To or CC 1 Receive mode is not BCC Actions Display Alert No BCC Set! Move message into folder Folder Name When all conditions are met, the alert displays correctly, but even if I don't close the alert window, after a few seconds the message is sent. I've only played a little with AppleScript, but in the PowerMail dictionary, there is a message property for 'status', which can be set to 'draft'. If the conditions were met, is it possible to run an AppleScript that sets the message status to draft? - Don -- Don V. Zahniser
