Open an email in PM 6.2.1 and drag the photo icon onto the email.

Not asian characters, but other weird stuff. Just in mail from certain people (I can think of 2 offhand). The text quoted shows up with various accented and alternative type characters, all spaced strangely.

I would LOVE to be able to do that. I was a Claris Emailer user also, who glommed onto PowerMail when Emailer went away.. been here ever since. The only things I wish it would do are those occasional things like someone mentioned where you can interact with iCal or whatever (iPhoto, for instance, is the one I would use most - and I am no longer able to figure out how to fix the latest iPhoto so that the clickable 'email' icon directs the photo to PM instead of Mail), which Mail is obviously set up to do.

emailing photos from iPhoto 09
Years ago, I did something to iPhoto that enabled it to recognize PowerMail and let me email photos from within iPhoto (well, it would open a new mail form in PM, with the photos already attached). I've now upgraded to iPhoto 09 and I can no longer do this and I can't remember what the hell I did to make it work in the first place. Does anyone know? TIA- Jo Dorais Does killing time damage eternity?
Re: emailing photos from iPhoto 09
there used to be a plugin which you could download from versiontracker. do not know if still works with the latest version of iphoto and powermail but do a search at www.versiontracker.com for powermail and you will find it. Bummer - not there anymore. I did, however find one to allow me to send from iCal, so that's something, I suppose. G Last time I did this, it wasn't anything I DL'd - it was something I tweaked.

virus in email or what?
I'm not sure where to start looking for the answer to this. I don't think it's an email client question at all, but I'm starting here because I'm hoping someone will know, anyway. I've been getting emails lately where the subject line has somehow, somewhere along the line, been changed to a long string of gobbledygook. Like these: W0JVTEtdICBTZXB0ZW1iZXIgU2F2aW5ncyBhdCBTQU0nUyBDTFVCIQ== W1FVQVJdIE9uZSBkYXkgb25seTogRG91YmxlIHlvdXIgQ2FzaCBCYWNrIGF0IEViYXRlcy4= W1FVQVJdIERvdWJsZSBSZXdhcmRzLCBQbHVzI EhvbmV5bW9vbiBCb251cyAtIEdldCBGcmVlIFRyYXZlbCBGYXN0ZXI= W1FVQVJdIExhc3QgQ2hhbmNlIEZhcmUgU2FsZSAmIE90aGVyIEZhbGwgVHJhdmVsIERlYWxzIQ== and so forth. Some are ads.. not strictly spam, because I think they came from places I've signed up with or ordered things through, and others are from friends. No rhyme nor reason... the same friend's mail will come through with one of these subject lines one day but not the next. Obviously, it's not the subject line THEY put on the email to begin with. ;-) anyone have any idea what's causing this, or how I can make it stop? It's annoying. Jo If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out.

Indexing error
Help! My computer shut itself off (I think the battery ran out), and when I restarted (actually, I just plugged in the power cord and it rebooted itself), I got this error as PM started up: indexing error class=QIE ; what=9; when=2 (index) - then when trying to quit, I got this (and had to force quit): error while closing user's files Uncaught exception type I was unable to reply to a message (it wouldn't send... well, wouldn't *save* to send, it looked like-it didn't get as far as trying to send... there was a message but I clicked through it before I remembered to write it down), so that's when I force quit and did the compact database stuff. I clicked the first 3 options, waited for that to finish, then got the same indexing error above as it launched. I *was* able to send mail after that, but still, I force quit again (same closing error), and tried the low level index.. it worked on that for about 3 seconds then came up with the indexing error again.
