Uh oh, I think my incredulity over this "problem" is causing my head to explode. Please forgive me. I promise I'll drive right over and clean it up. I think I have never seen such discontent over a feature which ALLOWS the user to decide where a window will open. For people whose habits lead them to be constantly moving windows around the screen, I suppose this is a defect. For those of us who generally like our windows to open in the same preferred location, PowerMail's window placement feature is absolutely brilliant. I wish Apple (in OS X 10.2.x) would have provided the same feature. Instead, the TextEdit and Print Center windows are ALWAYS too low on my display. I move them up, but next time I open one of them, I am forced to deal with the default position which Apple forces me to use. With PowerMail, I decide where the window will open. >Using AppleScripts and QuicKeys, I'm able to workaround PowerMail's >constantly changing window positions without having to reach for the >mouse.

You refer to "PowerMail's constantly changing window positions", but isn't it Cheshirekat who keeps changing the window positions? Aren't those windows in new positions because of the USER and not because of PowerMail? When I open a PowerMail window, I want it to open in a location of my choosing, and that's what PowerMail empowers me to do. OK now, has anybody seen my left eye socket? ---Jay
