So that didn't work, but I'm pretty sure I can solve it in another
way.

You were correct that I somehow had two copies, but it turns out they
were exact duplicates.  I now realize that I had modified the
info.plist of the local version to correct the version number.  I did
that so that TechTracker would quit telling me I needed to update the
software.

I just downloaded what purports to be v1.2.2 from your web site and
verified that the info.plist has it at 1.2.1.

I trashed the copy in the Local Library but the installer won't let me
install it in Home Library.  The continue button was grayed out until
I clicked on install for all users.  Then the installer fails, so I
ran the installation fixer but still no joy.  Then I ran the
uninstaller, the installer fixer and the installer, selecting install
for all users, but only got a copy in my Home Library.  I moved it to
the Local Library, changed the version numbers and Mail works
normally.

Thanks for the assist.
