"anyone who buys PowerMail after March 31, 2008, will be able to upgrade
to version 6 upon its release later this Spring"



Did they get the date wrong?  Spring has passed.  Summer has passed.
And no word about a beta even

What's up?  I'd really love to see a 6.0!

Sean,

I agree. I'd sure like to see what ctm has been working on and hope it's
getting close to ready

I'm particularly interested in improvements with html mail. I don't feel
the need to create html email, but I'm getting a lot more of it, and
it's starting to get irritating when I can't...

1. Print a message.

2. Copy text from a message.

3. Search html content within messages.

4. Look at mail headers without selecting additional options.

it's also irritating when...

5. Friends who look at my plain text emails can't click on links I've
sent. I'm not sure WHY (line wrapping?) but I'm tired of getting "you
link doesn't work" messages back.

6. I'm tired of getting messages with inline pictures that come as
attachments, but I can't view in the correct format, even through a web
browser.


I find I'm using "Show plain text with header" and "Show in Web Browser"
more and more often.

ReallyI've tried fighting the html email "standard"...and I'm just
getting tired. I'm beginning to think I should send html email, even if
I don't put in cute pictures and styled text.

Actually, I LIKE attachments to be separate rather than "in line" as
they appear in Apple's Mail...but if each picture has a title or comment
line...then it's hard to figure out what comment goes with which picture.

I'm tired of Powermails too frequent crashes.

However, there is a LOT to like about Powermail -- I've been using it
since early v2, and I'd be VERY VERY happy to pay for a version 6 that
removes some of the above irritations.

I'm a lot more concerned that there IS no v6 coming than I am about it's
upgrade price or schedule.

Perhaps CTM will comment to this list
