It has been a VERY long time since I have had a message freeze PM, but
it used to happen a lot, and the culprit was always bad HTML in the
message. Since PM went into versions 5.x, I have not had the problem.

Me either, but today I've had to go in and clear out my mailbox via
webmail 3 times. This time it was a 50% off clearance email like mentioned
before. The oddest thing is that I have Spamsieve miunging the emails on
the host end! I get a "SPAM**..." added int he subject line, and the email
is a spamsieve message telling about it with a bit of the first part of
the mail but a link to read the full spam. Somehow that little bit from
the first part is keeping whatever is hanging PM.
Frustrating, but I expect it to stop once this particular batch of spam
goes through the net and gets shut down.
Death to spammers!

Is there a way to delete attachments and html junk when you delete the e-
mail? I get html mail from certain people that have header graphics and
other cute stuff, and even though I delete the e-mail, the darn gif's
accumulate in my Downloads folder.

That happens automatically once the message is purged from the Trash
folder, doesn't it?

You must be thinking of a different filter, since SpamSieve doesn't
run on the server and doesn't modify or generate e-mails.

Yikes! Yes, you are correct. SpamAssassin is what I'm using hostside to
catch much of the mail and modify it before it comes through (I hate
even reading or seeing the crap when I'm deleting it; Spam Assassin
gives me a report with the spammail as an attachment that I never look
at). What it misses, SpamSieve gets perfectly.
Sorry for the mixup. There is just so much spam this and spam that, my
fingers typed what my mind wasn't thinking. Won't be the last time, I'm
sure. :)
I just got another of those 50% mails. This could take days... Ugh.

I don't think so, but I'll check next time I quit.

Well, I haven't recently but the last time I had a true crasher e-mail
was years ago.
Solution was to see what PowerMail had been able to download before the
crash, then to access the account via webmail and delete the next
message from there. POPMonitor also could handle them.
I think I forwarded it on to CTM but don't know if anything came of it.
>Death to spam!
Quoted for truth.

I have gotten 2 today as well. Strange that it is happening to all of
us, all of the sudden. I suspect that one type of spam message (or
attachment?) is somehow freezing PowerMail when it is being received.
We probably all got that same spam message. Either way, this can't be good.

Me too! :) Actually, my coworker had this exact problem today. Those
spammers seem to have started something new today. :(
We need a 5.6.2 soon, these messages may come in every day!

I had three more of the 50% clearance messages in my mail box this
morning. I did a little poking around and have found the main links in
them are rerouted to a site called "Canadian Health&Care Mall" and
<http://www.qualiferdlog.com>. There is a Spamwiki entry on the site:
<http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Canadian_Health%26Care_Mall>
The spams are cycling through a bunch of throwaway domain names. All of
the domain names in the spam I received have already been shut down to
client use, but they still point to the site.
qualiferdlog.com is hosted in China at an IP address held by KLS-Cafe/
Kulesi Game center.
This is all too bad, because I had planned to contact their provider or
the provider's connector and complain that their mail was interfering
with my business. I love contacting the providers of the advertisers who
hire these spam companies and shut down the pay sites, but it looks like
in this case the advertiser is the spammer and there may be no provider
to threaten/complain to. (Shutting down the pay sites doesn't stop the
spam, but it's satisfying to cut off their revenue.)
Maybe whoever is cutting internet cables out around Egypt needs to move
to China.
In the meantime, I hope CTM can fix whatever is causing the hang up in
mails like these, or can get Apple to fix the issue if it is at that level.

I'd just like to thank Jim for this, it probably saved me at least 20
minutes this morning. It would be magnificent if this could be fixed
soon.
