Re: 2 questions
Hi Simon, 1) When I double click on an HTML attachment Powermail launches it in possibly the worlds worst web browser - Internet Explorer Mac (cough) - where do I change that? Safari Preferences can be used to change this. Better yet, run MisFox, which you'll fine in the 'extras' folder in your PowerMail folder in Applications. 2) I can't figure out for the life of me how to make recipients BCC or CC etc, and how to set a priority. Click on the 'To' to the left of the address, you'll get a dropdown list where you can set CC or BCC Not sure what you mean by 'set a priority' hope this helps, Jim -- Jim Pistrang JP Computer Resources Certified Member, Apple Consultants Network 413-256-4569 http://users.crocker.com/~pistrang

Re: 2 questions
and how to set a priority. For an outgoing message, one has to save it as a draft and select it. Then, under the Mail menu, go down to Label and chose the one you need. Messages in your mailbox are labeled by simply selecting them and proceeding as above. Cheers, kl.

I guess you are right. Never tried it until now - and it doesn't stick while sending the message. Sorry to have caused confusion... kl. Are you sure about this? As far as I know, this doesn't write X- Priority header at all. -Hiro

Simon, I'm not sure what a long way is on your monitor, but the jpg you posted is about 2/3 the width of the window size I usually use; I wonder if a narrow default window size is making the address columns do something funny for you. If you put your cursor over the divider bar between the As and the Name columns, you'll be able to just make the As column a little wider - that should do the trick.

Oh, it's not a problem, I've found it now and know what to do. My monitors run at 1600 x 1200 and I had the window maxed out at one point. It's odd that under certain circumstances you can't see the scroll bar if some items are off to the left and hidden, but it's a very weird set of actions that cause it. I just thought I should say for the record (searching the list and the like). Thanks though :) -- Simon Troup Digital Music Art

As I said, M$ conspiracy :-) If you save html file with IE under OSX, it puts resource folk to call for IE, Creator:MSIE as you pointed out. But this is not really an OS9 thing, and OSX is not trying to get rid of. At first, OSX wanted to walk away from resource folk just because Unix utilities doesn't like it. Panther did a lot of improvement on this department, and Tiger will nail the sucker :-) A good thing about resource folk is the file system is more secure. I think that's why Apple wants to keep it.

Click this, and it will change all IE documents on your drive. not necessarily. On OSX, I understand the way the Finder (or PowerMail) will open a document is, something like the following: a) if this document has been, individually, associated to a given application (the get info / open with procedure above, without change all), run this app b) or else, if the document contains an OS9 (or earlier) tag named creator, then run the associated app c) or else, use the app preassociated to this document's extension (if it has any) d) or else, run the app associated to the document's OS9 TYPE tag. In your case, it looks like your html document wears a creator tag associated to IE, which intercepts the decision process before its name's extension has a chance to trigger Safari. One way to check this is to look at your document with XRay, a little utility that will allow which ones of the above fields are significant... The best way is to remove IE from your HD, like me :-) Hervé -- remove .listes and add a dot after fh please enlevez .listes et ajoutez un point après fh

Re: 2 questions
Hi Jeff, No, I already have those set. I'm talking about mail that comes in as an html web page attachment, that doesn't get the button View in HTML as an option. The attachment shows an IE icon. I want to open with Safari but I don't see that as an option in the contextual menu... If I double click on the item, it launches IE... Try this, I think it will work: 1) control-click on the icon of the attachment and select 'Get Finder Info' 2) in the 'Open With' section, select Safari 3) also click on 'Change All' to open future html attachments with Safari Jim -- Jim Pistrang JP Computer Resources Certified Member, Apple Consultants Network 413-256-4569 http://users.crocker.com/~pistrang
Re(2): questions... just joined...
Thanks for the quick replies... off to a strong start so far. Love the Address book integration and the killer filters.

I don't think so but it would be nice. 2 - CNet HTML Newsletters seem to cause PM to choke... anyone else experience that? I've had to force quit a few times, just for them. In Prefs, Uncheck the HTML Reader. The page will load quickly but all the html will be seen. Then click on the globe icon and your favorite browser will open with the page loaded. Hopefully when the Safari API's are released they can be incorporated to the HTML viewer code. 3 - On the web site there is a floating search field/filter box... where is that activated? In the 3 pane view there is a little eye looking icon in the horizontal divider. Click on it. 4 - Import from Mail.app? How well/smooth is the process... just need to start thinking about moving close to 1.7GB of mail if I purchase. Give it a try but with that much mail it's likely to take a while. There is a 30 day demo. I found the best way to evaluate was to live in PowerMail for a while. Ask questions about doing what you want to accomplish if you don't readily see a way. -- Andy Fragen
