But it seems that it works in a lasting way ... Maybe there was a space after the file name or some invisible character within it. Either would make the name unrecognized. However, this wouldn't explain why you don't have the problem consistently. I've had this happen occasionally on the Mac and even on PC's.

Re: SpamSieve not found
Thanks Andy- I tried each of these things, carefully testing each one by quitting both PM and SS, firing up PM, sending myself a message from another account on another machine, then checking mail in PM. Nothing worked. In fact at one point ScriptEditor itself asked where SpamSieve was, confirming that the issue is an Applescript problem rather than a PM problem. However, after one of these experiments I left PM running, though not SpamSieve, and while I was doing something else PM got some spam and flawlessly fired up SS! I quickly set up the same experiment and confirmed that the problem has gone away. All of which points to a subtle Applescript problem with the mechanism for finding apps on disk. Oh joy. OnyX I don't think has anything to do with it, as I downloaded OnyX only _after_ I had the problem, because running it was one of the suggestions for fixing it. Matthias Schmidt suggested deleting SpamSieve preferences. I didn't try this, as these preferences are used by SpamSieve, not by the system trying to find SpamSieve. I would be very surprised to find this relevant at all. Thanks for all the quick replies, and thanks to CTM for fixing whatever was making all my attempts to send to the list bounce.

I did many of these things several times. I don't know what worked, specifically, but it worked. Bottom line. This problem only occurred for me after deleting System cache from Onyx. -- Andy Fragen On Mon, Jul 12, 2004, Matthias Schmidt said: Did you trash the Spam Sieve preferences as someone suggested ?

Re: SpamSieve not found
At least it works for me how many copies of SpamSieve you have on your Mac. I think it should be only 1.
