Cound't agree more. Times are hard for mailreader makers in a world
where Apple's Mail.app is free and quite mature now... I paid before
even downloading. 

And in addition, maybe with thread handling this is the last
contribution I make to this list via MacSOUP (which did threading for
years ;-)

A Tad More Feedback

2008-11-21 Thread Lyle D. Gunderson

I'm sort of the opposite of some of the opinions expressed here.

1. I am happy to pay for an upgrade. I could care less if it is 6.0  
or 5.6.5.001. I want CTM Development to continue seeing PowerMail  
as something worth putting time into (and for them to stay in the  
black). The upgrade cost is about what it costs me to take my sons  
out to lunch, and a good email client is a very important tool to me.


2. I can live with one big, hairy database. More messages simply  
means more records. Archiving messages will make it easier to keep  
them backed up elsewhere.


3. Simple styled text will make the difference between having  
PowerMail around to use once in a while and being the email client I  
use all the time. Because of this feature, I'll be able to reply to  
people who like the sort of emphasis that styled text makes possible.  
And will prevent loss of any styles they may have applied to text I  
include in a reply.


I have not followed this list closely enough to know what problems  
there are with IMAP accounts, but maybe because of that I will have  
an open mind.


Open mind or not, though, I backed up my mail database before I  
installed the betta! :-)

I agree.  If it were my software I would not be bumping the version
numbers so quickly, due to my philosophies on version numbering.  But
that is immaterial to my desire to support the software's development.

I'm not sure about that -- it appears that if you reply to an HTML
message, the entire content is reduced to plain text.  I think that was
mentioned in the release notes.  Unless I misunderstand what you're saying.

While backups are always a good idea, your reasoning sounds a little fishy.
