This bug occurs whenever the title bar of a mail message (from the Mail Browser, Recent Mail, etc.) just so happens to position itself in the same area as your mouse pointer, when you double-click to open the message. It seems as if PowerMail is getting an extra "click" of the mouse, when this occurs, minimizing the window, as normal. An easy way to test this is to open a message in the Mail Browser, then position the message window so that its title bar is overtop of the subject of the message (from the Mail Browser, behind the message window). Next, close the window and reopen it in the Mail Browser. It will open then immediately magically minimize into the Dock...at least is does for me. :) Here is a workaround, until this is fixed: When opening a message that this is happening to (again, the message window has to be in just the right part of your screen, so not every message is affected), double- click the message to open it, but hold down the mouse for an extra second, "grab" the message window and move it just a bit. This will prevent it from minimizing to the dock. Regards, D A V E
