I agree strongly with this assumption. The only time I've ever had a
problem with PM was when I had 1 "bad" HTML message and I could no
longer index and PM would constantly crash and I was not able to rebuild

This is no proof they are sound. How are you checking it? What do you
know about font corruption?

That I question what you say is not aggressive. I'm merely disagreeing
with parts of your message. I am sorry you have problems with your DB
did you really check every font ? If so, how ?
Is there a slight possibility that there are old fonts installed ?
There are so many possibilities, but a damaged font is always a very
good candidate for bad surprises.
And if the crash report says, the font is causing the crash, well, I
guess Apple

Andy,
I also have had PM since v.3 and until Sunday had not encountered a
problem that PM could not recover.
An interesting
I'm sorry Jérome, you're not being candid. A corrupt font in my system
is not the only possibility; PowerMail's inability to properly implement
the fallback mechanism in case of missing Unicode characters is much
more likely.

I *did* backup my DB.
I did not say PM was expensive. However it is a paying client in a world
of many good free ones, so I think I'm entitled at least to relia

Agreed. But my experience differs. I've never had an unfixable db error
with PM and I've been using it since v3

The situation described by Robert (and which I experimented all too
often) should'nt ever happen, and if it happens, the tool to *try* and
retrieve some of the messages in the corrupt database should be included
in the package we are paying for, not paid (rather expensive) to a third

Thanks. That was what I did first that got me to the first Database
Error. That was when I moved on to performing a low level database
rebuild, which took about 12 hours, and that ended with a Database
Error.
So right now I am totally hosed.

You should probably trash your Message Database or the whole PowerMail
files and launch PM again from a backup (you have a recent one don't
you?). I have experienced the same unrecoverable crashes with PM
recently (I don't know if it is since upgrading to 5.2.2 or since
upgrading to OSX 10.4.3
Launch PM with the Opt-Cmd keys pressed. You'll see a bunch of options,
selecting the first 4 usually does the trick.

Hi,
My database was nearing 2GB, so I tried to compress it, but that
tailed with a database error. So I tried to perform a low level
database rebuild, but that failed. HELP. This has all of my important
data in it--licenses, serial numbers, job histories, etc.
Is there any way to extract d
