Bill, Thanks a lot, that is exactly what solves it for me!
I felt this tip was too good to keep for myself, so I am copying both the list, and James Thomson of DragThing on it!

Date Sent: woensdag, 22 september 2004 20:34 From: Mirko Kranenburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: PowerMail Discussions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have the same problem: the first aid screen is short-lived and ends in unexpected quit. I believe the beta that was anounced was supposed to solve that, but I have lost the link....due to a PowerMail-database crash. My backup was recent, but it just made me miss that mail. Anyone care to foward the link again?
