Re: Direct link from Photos to PowerMail?
I haven't found a direct way, but what I just discovered helps a little. Right click on a photo and select Edit with:Preview. The pic will open with Preview. From Preview click the icon next to the image name in the title bar and drag it to PowerMail in the Dock and it'll create a new email. Or if you have an email created already, you can drag it to its window.

Re: Incoming email crashes PowerMail
I've had this happen a few times, quite some time ago, and I had to go to the mail server or web mail interface and delete the offending emails.

Re: AppleScript Sender Question
Howdy Beatrix, Thanks for the info. You put me on the right track. It's two byte code alright and it has length values in front of the name and address, which are encoded UTF-16. I wrote some code to parse the name and email address to compare to existing contacts in a database. So, all is right in Mudville. Thanks a million Beatrix! chinese characters almost always are an indication that text encoded as UTF8 is interpreted as UTF16. A simple explanation is here: http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/smile/text/unicode_and_applescript.html That the sender is UTF16 is most likely a bug (looks very nice, by the way).

Re: Feature Request/Idea
Mikael sez: Could you redescribe your concept again and state the objectives for the functions you imagine? Is the scope wider than 4D people page photos? I apologize for not being clearer. The 4D People Page pics I referred to are just JPEGs on a website. The gist of what I was talking about was to be able to display a picture of an email's sender when viewing an email. And to be able to specify a file, URL or person in Apple's Address Book from which to retrieve the picture. I think it's safe to assume that a built-in option to display user photos inside the realm of PowerMail would have to be related to some kind of established standard, don't you think? I believe Apple uses SQLite as the basis for their CoreData module. So, I'd bet Apple publishes how to access data in any of their basic applications or that it'd be relatively easy to figure out how to access the Address Book pictures.

Re: Fractured Highlighting
Does anyone else see the issue where a highlighted field (New Subject is one), has a lot of white showing through the default highlight color? If it's the font smoothing causing this, go to the Appearance Control Panel, uh, I mean System Preference, and turn of font smoothing below 12 points and see if that does the trick.

Re: feature request
Wayne Brissette sez: The only issue I have with this is your then going to base your application's behaviour on the behaviour of another application instead of a standard. Since there isn't an internet standard for this, it really makes it hard to justify changing the way the application currently works. I thought there was a standard and it was to not use any bracketed, braced or parenthised (parenthesised, parented, parentheticalatalizated?) number.

Re: Mail messages minimized on opening
Tim Lapin sez: Upon double clicking certain messages, PowerMail will do 2 things: 1) Open the message 2) Immediately minimize it in the dock. I've noticed this, but only when the messages title bar is inline with the message I double clicked. It's as if the double-click event isn't flushed immediately after the open window is called and it acts on the title bar of the opened window too. I'm betting it's a Panther issue since I've also noticed that when I double click on a folder in a list window in the Finder the folder opens, but the window I opened it from returns to the front. I've been thinking it was a problem with my Logitech wireless mouse, but maybe not. Are you, by chance, using a Logitech wireless mouse? Try single clicking on a message then hit Return to open it. Do you see the same problem? -- Tom Dillon12081 W.

OPEN WEB URL to Email
Howdy PowerMail users, I'm attempting to BCC emails to a list of recipients through the user's email client via a link, as on a web page. Using CC in the link creates an email with CCed addresses, but doesn't with BCC. The addresses are simply lost. The link with the BCC works with Apple's Mail app, but not PM. Any ideas? PM 4.2.1 OS X 10.3.2. Thanks In case it helps, here's the link I'm creating: This works: a href=mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]body=This is a test [EMAIL PROTECTED]Send Test/a This doesn't: a href=mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]body=This is a test [EMAIL PROTECTED]Send Test/a -- Tom Dillon12081 W.

Creating a Tiny Email List Server
Before I reinvent the wheel, has anyone, using PowerMail and maybe AppleScript, created a small email list server? I was able to do it with just a filter except for the Reply-To address which I plan to do in an AppleScript, but I thought I'd ask too. I'm betting that there are some pitfalls that I haven't thought about as well. I'm doing this for a family discussion that needs to occur over the next few weeks, so I was hoping to just throw something together. Thanks -- Tom Dillon12081 W.

Re: Delete One Message in AppleScript?
Jérôme sez: The same AppleScript property current messages is used for the selected messages (when the script is called manually) and for the filtered message (when the script is called from a filter). In this case, it is a list containing a single message. It works as you said, except I get an error. Class='DB ', what=7, when=9, err=0. I guess immediately deleting a message causes a problem in the loop or something. Also, the database needs repair before PM will launch again. Is there a way in an AppleScript to keep PowerMail from proceeding to the next filter? No. Workaround: you can set the subject of your message to ###delete### in your script, then create a second filter that will delete the message immediately if the subject is ###delete###, and check the stop applying filters in the second filter. Good idea, thanks. But, executing the Delete Immediately AppleScript still causes the error. Maybe if I could execute an AppleScript after the connection to delete everything in a folder or with a particular subject, like #Delete#? Thanks to everyone for the help. -- Tom Dillon12081 W.

Re: Stop Filters in an AppleScript?
Marlyse Comte sez: there is a checkbox which does exactly this in the filter dialog box, lower right corner... or so.

If I check the box, it always stops, not just when SpamSieve flags the message as spam. -- Tom Dillon12081 W.

Re: Delete One Message in AppleScript?
Andy Fragen sez: There is a builtin script Delete Message Immediately, doesn't it do as you want? That's probably the one I looked at, but it deletes the selected messages, not just one.

Delete One Message in AppleScript?
How do I delete a single message via AppleScript? I've looked at the
script from Wayne Brissette's site for deleting a list of messages
thinking it would be easy to figure out how to delete one from within a
filter, but my brain just can't figure out how to assign a single message
for deletion.
tell application PowerMail
display dialog The selected messages will be deleted immediately.
buttons {Cancel, Delete} default button Delete
set btn to button returned of result
if btn is Delete then
set theMessages to current messages
repeat with msg in theMessages
delete msg
end repeat
end if
end tell
Works great, but I want to delete a single message from a filter. For
instance, if the message subject is Huge, Throbbing Mortgage, then
delete the message immediately (not into trash). So, how do I assign the
current message that the filter is looking at to the variable 'msg' so I
can pass it to 'Delete'?
I guess I could just move the message to the trash and have a script
empty the trash, but...
Thanks

Re: retro-style
Per Åström sez: Look at the Connect Again-button on the toolbar. Isnt it rather OS9- ish? In fact, arent all the buttons retro-looking! I hadn't thought much about it but, yeah baby they are retro. :-7 One of the problems I have as a developer is getting the often inordinately fat Aqua buttons to fit on the same forms as they did in OS 9. I almost invariably have to create larger form just to contain the same information. (The monitor manufacturers probably love Aqua.)

Re: Large mail-list problem
Sten-Erik Björling sez: I seem to have a problem with a folder that now contains 65 606 messages. When I try to read a single message the status bar tells me that I have choosen 2 messages and it does not show the contents of the message in the preview pane. Have you tried using the 2 pane view and double clicking on a message? Is there an limitation of the number of messages in a folder? Jérôme will probably have to answer that, but given that you apparently just passed 2^16 (65536) messages, I'm betting that PM can't address any more than that, which could conceivably cause two messages to have the same internal message ID, thus causing your problem. But this is just a WAG. You might try to export, delete or otherwise relocate some of the messages. -- Tom Dillon12081 W.

Re: Strange window
Daniel Ross, SJ on 3/23/03 said I have suddenly, as of a couple of days ago, begun having a strange window appear on my desktop as mail is coming in. PowerMail stops retrieving mail until I cancel the window. I cannot figure out where this is coming from. The window reads: The selected messages will be deleted immediately. They will not be put in the mail trash, and there is no undo available. There is a cancel and a delete button. Could it be from a filter you have set?

Re: 1's, 2's and 3's
PowerMail Engineering sez: I occasionally get oddly places 1's, 2's and 3's in email texts. They appear to be badly translated curly quotes and double quotes. It can occur when you receive messages sent by Outlook Express Mac, or Entourage, due to an encoding bug in these products. Wh??? Isn't using Microsoft and bugs in the same sentence sort of like using Ellen Feiss and stoned together? If I send myself an email with curly quotes, they get translated into straight quotes. So, is there a setting to either allow curly quotes through or translate them into straight quotes instead of numbers? Curly quotes are not part of the ISO 8859-1 character set; you can change the character set used for the US/Western Europe language family, in the preferences, to either windows-1252 or UTF-8 if you don't want curly quotes converted to straight quotes when you send a message with PowerMail. I like having my sent email convert curly to straight, like it's doing now. What I want to know is how to work around the MS bug so that the improperly encoded curly quotes will show up as straight or curly quotes, instead of as numbers, in my received email.
