Re: HTML-only to text conversion working now?
MB Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:41:11 +0100 I it just my messages or has the long wished for HTML to text functionality silently been implemented even on email source that is HTML _only_ (that is no plain text multipart)? When I display HTML messages of such HTMl-only messages as plain text, _all_ the vital info (though not the formatting), inlcuding such things as web URLs, that in the source is within HTML tags, is now in plain text. I just love it! For many messages I'll keep viewing them in HTML, but for those I just want the basics from I sure will turn'em to plain text more often. So now I only need a script that takes HTML attachments and turn those to plain text and put them in the message body. I have some mailing lists that put HTML messages as attachments to empty bodies, so that would make them more useful. Anyone else into that idea? Yes, that would be extremely useful.
Re: curly quotes become 1, 2, 3
Dave N Thu, 8 Feb 2007 12:05:12 -0800 Actually, I would LOVE to have a find/replace feature in PowerMail. I live in PowerMail a lot more than any other word processor, and yet I find myself copy/pasting entire messages into TextWrangler for simple things, like find/replace a certain expression or word. Then select all/ copy/paste back to PowerMail. DaveN I second the motion. Would same me a lot of time when composing involved emails.
Re: Copying address bug still there
Mikael Byström Fri, 13 Oct 2006 01:29:57 +0200 This one happens to me. And I agree, it's been there for ages. It doesn't happen for me. What versions are you guys running under? Of OS X and PowerMail that is. Any haxies or non-standard modifications to the OS installed? RAM? Free space on HD? OS X 10.4.8 US No haxies or modifications 1G RAM on my G5, 768K RAM on my PowerBook Ti Hundreds of gig free space on G5, 9G free space on TBTi

Re: Constant Contact/Exporting
Steve Tarpin Fri, 14 Apr 2006 08:31:21 -0400 snip Now I've tried exporting email addresses from PM before and with little success. From what I understand, I can export the ENTIRE database, but not specific groups. snip Steve Steve, While PowerMail's export doesn't have a feature to export selected address groups or folders, there is a solution: Quit PowerMail, make a copy of your PowerMail folder, turn off mail checking (easiest way is to disconnect your ethernet cable or turn off Airport, whichever is used for internet). Open the copied database in PowerMail, delete the addresses you don't want, then export what's left. Delete the copied folder, and revert to your original. Howard
Re: SMTP by location?
michael dunston sent on Sun, 12 Oct 2003 22:54:02 -0400 Is there another manual somewhere that explains the Mail Scheduling and Locations features? Is it possible for PM to automatically switch the SMTP server based on the current OSX system Location? PowerMail itself cannot switch based upon OSX's Network Location setting, as far as I've found. However, I use Location Manager X to do this; shareware http://homepage.mac.com/locationmanager/. Location X can switch network location, default time, Quicktime, default printer, and it can trigger Applescripts. First, set up a Schedule for each location that you will be at. Generally, the only difference between locations will be the SMTP address, which will vary with whatever ISP you're connected to. Be sure to check Always use SMPT server on the Locations tab, which will override the SMTP address for each account that you have. Here's an Applescript to change the PowerMail Mail Scheduling and Location: tell application PowerMail set current scheduling to scheduling ATT end tell Make a separate script for each Schedule that you entered, changing ATT in the script to whatever the precise name you gave in PowerMail's Scheduling. Put the scripts in your PowerMail user's scripts folder. You can switch them manually from PowerMail's script menu, or use Location X to change it along with other settings. When setting up Location X, simply add the script to each location. Howard
4.2b6 minor problems
OX 10.2.6, PowerMail 4.2b6 A few things that I noticed that are still not fixed from earlier version, that I posted some months back: Column sorting: If I select the Account column or the Label column for sorting of a list, they don't seem to be alphabetized or sorted in any logical way. The same account or label is clustered together, but they are not in either alphabetical order nor in the order they appear in the setup screen. Sorting by Status, Subject, From, To, Date, or Size works fine. My preference would be to sort in the order that I arranged them in the setup screen. Powermail Preferences Indexing and spelling: I'm using Jaguar's built-in spell checker, but there seems to be no way to deselect Excalibur, which was the spellchecker that I used previously. I can select any other app, but not nothing. Thanks, Howard
