I understand PowerMail doesn't currently support long file
names, and I know the engineering effort required to properly
support them is not trivial, and I can live with attachments
with truncated file names BUT...
The truncation should really happen in the right place, i.e.,
right before the file name extension, *not* at the end of the
string.
I frequently receive attachments with names like:
invoice-xyz012345678-2004-02-12.pdf
And PowerMail truncates the name to something like:
invoice-xyz012345678-2004-02-12
Which I can't open unless I figure out the correct extension and
manually add it in the Finder.
I think PowerMail should attempt to preserve the extension,
yielding a name like this:
invoice-xyz012345678-2004-0.pdf

It's not the data universe only, it's human conversation.
They want to turn it into a one-way flow that they have entirely
monetized. I look at the collective human mind as a kind of
ecosystem. They want to clear cut it. They want to go into the
rainforest of human thought and mow the thing down.
