I hate to say it, but this attachment issue may be the death knell for Emailer. What use is a mail application if it freezes everytime an attachment comes through on an AOL email?
I think the better solution is to abolish AOL, but then I'm old fashioned.

Hi Bill-
At first I was going to agree because of my own bad experiences with AOL but then as I thought about it that would only be treating the symptoms. The real problem is that we value competition but then we do not want to compete fairly in terms of creating efficient products. What we do is use every corrupt means at our disposal to capture the entire market and block any competition. It is a win at all costs mentality reminding me of the animal nature whose sole purpose is survival at all costs, kill or be killed but we are not animals, we are humans and cannot survive unless our fellow humans survive too. I do not believe any laws are going to remedy these problems, but proper education can indeed have a transforming effect on society. Also we need a new economic system, something that combines the best of all the former and more because our current brand of capitalism simply is not working to satisfy the needs of all our human resources. In fact at present we are destroying our human and material resources by not understanding the reality of things.
How does this effect Email?
Well, I really feel the creator of Emailer had a good handle on things and if only that kind of talent could be replicated and modernized, updated, modified or whatever we may then find a mail program far beyond what is now available, including Emailer. Until then I will stick with Emailer but unfortunately, owing to financial troubles I am forced to use my granddaughters computer with Mail and it is not bad really.
I said this before but I believe that some of the human resources we have on this list such as Chris et al should be able to modify and improve on Emailer and thus create a product beyond what we now see. Alas this would take financing but there is lots of money out there if we know how to get it. Could be a great project
