I restarted, and tried the patch again. This time, it didn't complain 
about available disk space, but it did abort, saying that the results of 
the patching did not match waht was expected. (I was attempting to patch 
a copy of 2.0v3. Would that be the problem? Is it possible to have both 
2.0v3 and the dual @ patch, or do I have to choose between them?

Also, while I'm trying to get used to Emailer 2 (I've been using 1.1v3 
for years, but apparently the dual @ patch doesn't work on it), I've 
noticed a couple of oddities:

For one thing, sorting messages by date (my default) gives very 
unpredictable results. Is this only a problem with messages imported from 
1.*, or does 2.* have date issues of its own?

For another, with 1.*, I would get a message which would cause Emailer to 
barf and crash maybe once every six months or so, and I'd have to remove 
the message from the Temp Incoming folder manually before I could even 
start Emailer again. (This would usually happen when I was sent a WIndows 
executable -- like a virus -- as an attachment, but it doesn't happen 
every time somebody sends me an executable.) However, every time I do a 
mail run with 2.*, it barfs while importing messages with attachments. 
Usually, it just leaves them inline, so I can recover them if I need to 
with StuffIt Expander, but about 4 messages out of every hundred are 
left, unimported, in the Temp Incoming folder. (Oddly enough, 1.1v3 
handles those leftover messages without a hiccough.)
