Ok, I found the problem.

Let me guess... everyone that has the problem probably restored their 
copy of Emailer from some kind of a backup after going to Jaguar. Or they 
moved it from another drive or partition, or in some way copied the whole 
thing after installing Jaguar.

Everyone that is NOT having the problem... probably either never touched 
their copy of Emailer, or installed a fresh copy and dragged the 
important files over to it.

Of course, that is all just an guess based on what I found to be the 
source of the problem.


If you do a full directory listing of the Temp Incoming folder ("ls -a" 
for you unix people)... you will find a new file that doesn't belong. Its 
a ".DS Store" file. And it is f-ing up Emailers ability to unpack the 
mail. 

You need to delete that file. Because this is an invisible file, and most 
of you are probably not the least bit interested in going to the terminal 
and then working your way to it to issue a remove command... I will let 
you in on the super duper easy way to delete it.


First... make sure your Temp Incoming folder is empty (this folder is in 
your Emailer Files folder). If it is not... quit emailer, then launch it 
again. This should cause it to unpack the remaining mail that is in 
there. (If that still doesn't empty it... go grab a copy of my app Temp 
Reader and see if the remaining items are anything you need, if not, 
throw them out).

Next... Quit Emailer

Next... drag the Temp Incoming folder to the trash (this is why I told 
you to make sure you got everything you need out of it first).

Finally... launch Emailer. It will create a brandy spanking new Temp 
Incoming folder... one without that PITA file in it.

Go back to watching your email unpack just fine.

Thanks to everyone that lent a hand by helping me debug this one.
