Re: dock menu always says 'force quit'
Well, whatever, I relaunched PM again and the weirdness appears to have vanished. I'm back to having a regular Quit at the bottom of the dock menu. Perhaps not unconnected, the reason that I relaunched PM was because I minimised the Recent Mail window to the dock, and it didn't want to come out again. Pressing Cmd-Ctrl-R called a second instance of the RM window (leaving the original one wedged in the dock), and at that point I thought that things had gotten wiggy enough and just restarted Powermail. Perhaps the Force Quit thing was due to a window management error waiting to happen? Anyway, it's all sweet now.

Re: dock menu always says 'force quit'
No, if the button that is supposed to give me a 'ctrl-click' is actually giving me 'alt-ctrl-click' I think that I'd have noticed by now. My mouse settings are correct. And PM is the only app who's dock icon menu shows Force Quit.

As an idiot-test I also tried the normal-click-and-hold which also calls the contextual menu for the dock item, and that also shows Force Quit. I think that it could have to do with the programing of the buttons of your mouse. Is PowerMail the only app where it's always Force Quit? If so, that rules out your mouse. -- those who live by the sword die by the sword

Apart from that small glitch PM is working fine.

Then it offers allways force quit. quit is given with mouseclick and mouse key down only or with mouse click + ctrl key

Rick Lecoat at [EMAIL PROTECTED] said on Fri, 18 Aug 2006 11:12:57 +0100 icon always says Force quit at the bottom instead of just Quit. I have no idea why this should be; the application has not crashed and seems to be responding as normal -- mail is retrieved and sent without any problem. A quit and relaunch has made no difference. Activity monitor reports nothing unusual (at least to my untrained eyes) regarding Powermail, and yet right-clicking on the dock icon still gives me the disconcerting option to Force quit, as if the app had hung. Anyone else? Rick Mine says quit Cheers -- Derry Thompson g l o d e r w o r k s | Design - Hosting - Programming http://www.gloderworks.com + 44 (0) 1562 631430 t + 44 (0) 7976 802487 m
