 As you see the dates are not the same.
 

Unfortunately, your tests are incomplete as they should show TWO dates
for each message and you only show one.  Perhaps it's a setting one can
tweak?

The goal, as I understood the original poster's problem, was to compare
the two dates shown in the forwarded message and check whether they are
the same.  At any rate, I see the correct dates when I do it but to get
back to the person's problem, I will show what I see when I get home and
am at my Mac.

 Here you have the proof of the problem:

 But as I found out in the meantime, the _real_ bug is a small and
 conditional one:
 
 If the sending and receiving date are the same (as it is usualy the case)
 then (and only then!) it writes same date _and_ same time for sending and
 receiving.
 But there is no bug, if the two dates are different.
 

Ah, that is a subtle one indeed.  I will test this tonight, time permitting.

What puzzles me is why Mikael Bystrom would only see *one* date line and
not two?  Like you, I have always seen two dates.  Perhaps it's due to
his localization of PowerMail?

That is the approach of Thunderbird.  Each *main* or parent folder has a
limit of 4 GB.  I don't know if that applies only to the parent account
folder or each separate folder *outside* the Inbox but either way it's
an improvement over a 2 GB limit for the whole database.  I like it so
much that I use T-Bird for most of my work email, leaving my Exchange
server account strictly for calendar - Blackberry synchronization stuff
and other related uses.

Yes, it would be a shame.  I've stuck with PowerMail on my Mac since the
early days of version 3.x.  As much as I like T-Bird on my PC, I've
grown used to the PM interface and am loathe to switch unless presented
with no alternative.

BTW, I do agree that IMAP will continue to gain converts with its
ability to maintain not only sent email but the very structure of one's
email environment.  The ability to look at one's email in precisely the
same fashion regardless of where you are and which computer you are
using is quite useful.  The only problem is server space management.

I don't say the above lightly as I have been and continue to be a big
POP3 user.

It is true that a web based forum will never be as fast or as clean in
the interface as a text based mailing list but...

Forums are only as slow as the load originating from them and the speed
of the receiving computer.

I'm not sure what you mean by blinky pinky stuff (emoticons, ads,
something else, all three?) but there are some very clean ones.  I find
the Mozilla forums to be relatively clean and quick.

Forums can be easier to follow because of a richer interface.  The
sorted threads (by larger topic first, then individual threads second)
allow for a user to find what he or she is seeking quite quickly.  A
sound choice of board or forum names plus thread topics will of course help.

FAQs can be built up quickly by the community and maintained by a
central authority with not too much effort.

Forums are self documenting in that the forum *is* the archive.

Forum software is now almost an off-the-shelf affair.  Most forum
packages come with decent search tools included.


In conclusion, while I find the current mailing list technology fine for
a topic as focused as PowerMail, it is wrong to brand all forums with a
broad brush.  It is also bad debating form to dismiss something because
it just sucks.

 I am getting emails, I think from Russia, that are causing PowerMail to

 I have not isolated the email in question--it will take some time

 do right now is go to the web interface at my ISP and delete all the
 spam in my inbox and then it works again.
 
 Any thoughts about what might be causing this? Is this a general problem
 with email clients, or a PowerMail-only issue?
 

I have seen this and similar behaviours from several clients.  As far as
I have been able to figure out, it is due primarily to malformed headers
in the emails in question which are passed on blindly by your ISP to
you.  Your client then has to deal with them.  What puzzles me is the
fact that some clients seem to handle these issues better than others.

Another possibility is that you have more than one client session going
simultaneously.  Not likely in your case as you state that it only seems
to happen with emails from the .ru domain but I mention it for
completeness' sake.

 This is true.  I've done it both ways.  The one semi-successful method
 that Apple has is the Archive  Restore when reinstalling the OS from
 DVD.  It will save everything from the Users folder on up, but apps that
 operate primarily at the root level, like Retrospect, Norton or Stuffit,
 need to be reinstalled from scratch.  In some thorny trouble-shooting
 modes, I have intentionally worked from a clean slate and the original
 install CD's or disk images.  It amounts to a weekend watching progress
 bars, however.
 
 I just did a G5 - Mac Pro, and was absolutely blown away at how
 seamless the process was.

Can one be selective about the apps to be migrated?  I ask because I
have some stuff such as FAXstf which I don't want moved; it replaced
some of the system's FAXing capability.  There are also some remnants of
other apps that are part of the system startup routine, even though the
apps themselves have long since been removed.  Now-Up-to-Date is an example.

Given those questions, my inclination is to migrate only the data.  I
hope to get a new iMac to replace my aging G4 (400 MHz AGP) and do NOT
want any useless baggage to be transferred.  PowerMail should not be a
problem as long as my data folder is intact or would I need to re-apply
the license key should I reinstall the application from scratch all
while retaining my existing data folder?

Maybe that particular feature doesn't work too well with PowerMail but
the docs certainly imply that it does:

Then again, I could start using Thunderbird, which has a 4 GB limit per

 Sometimes 1 dot, sometimes 2. Looks like kind of like debugging info. They

What you are seeing is most likely the symbol used to indicate the text
to which you are replying.  I don't get dots, rather I get chevrons 
or in other packages, solid lines or bars.

The reason some might disappear is that by resizing the window, you are
changing the wrap point, most likely.

As an example, my copy of T-Bird shows your example text with a solid
bar as the quote character, while in this reply, it has been converted
to a series of chevrons.

Other than that, I can't imagine what you are seeing.

If, as you say, he has a problem with his ISP/setup, posting a reply to
the list ONLY does him no good.  According to the headers in your

your reply?  It's possible that the email problems are specific to a few
domains, as was my case (see below).  Did you forward him a copy later?

When I was having similar problems, Jay very kindly forwarded on to me
certain posts which were relevant to a discussion I started.  In my
case, the problems were definitely ISP related and temporary.  I even
got a $10.00 reduction for that month for missed email. :-)
