Maybe the sign that it's time to update to 1.1.4 (probably somewhere on Apple's support pages). I don't know if that would solve those problems though. >I would like to find an email client that has the following feaures: >* automatically saves email (at least filed email) as individual text >files (like emailer) http://www.nisus.com/Products/NisusEmail/ Nisus Email Very strange program, but has fans (people who like it very much, not rotating wings -- it's not THAT strange). Almost no interface (no database because the file system does that, no messages manager because the Finder does that, no search feature because Sherlock does that, even no need for the integrated text editor because any other app does that). Sends messages in no time from any app, stores as standard files, etc. There might be a similar shareware program named "Finder Mail" or something. >* DOES NOT understand, or at least can be configured to NOT understand >HMTL Nisus Email lets you decide what you do with the filed messages and can convert HTML to text. And it lets you check the messages on the server before downloading them, so you can as well delete spam there. >* is NOT a microsoft product Nisus is the refuge of anti-M$ activists who promote the remarkable text processor Nisus Writer, which among other things provides�: - maybe 10 times the speed of MS Word, like most non-M$ programs - fat macro and search/replace features - incredible drawing abilities (I was tempted to demonstrate the color theory using only Nisus Writer's various abilities to blend overlapping shapes and text colors, at a time when even Illustrator didn't have plug-ins for that yet) - a terrific file format (at least old versions I checked) which stores pure TEXT in the data fork and everything else in the ressource fork, meaning ANY app on ANY platform can at least read the text, very mac-like (somewhat similar to SimpleText's way of separating text and formatting/images/sounds etc.), very unlike anything M$ ever did. - a free lite version >* gives me at *least* the filtering/filing capabilities of emailer >* will give me a synopsis (summary) of what email was filed where I didn't investigate that, maybe it would require the use of AppleScript and Folder Actions to manage that from the Finder. >* has a simple to use interface. Almost none, should be simple.

Well, if any of your apps has one, then Nisus Email has one. As well as ASCII art capabilities if you use an ASCII art editor, regular expressions search/replace if you use BBEdit, etc. >basically I am sayng: >"... I WANT MY EMAILER..." to work in OSX Emailer 2 does, but doesn't store messages as individual files anymore (I missed that too). My guess is that you should try Nisus Email. BTW it knows SMTP authorization too. ---- VRic ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
