Karel, this quote is not a statement that anyone can conclude from that PM 3 has a known bug that can make messages stuck on the server. This language is very general. Perhaps you could have referred to this, while not in exact wording then at least in the sense it was known to you. If you'd have done that what you have been suggesting would be making some sense for me. I don't have the right to demand from you, Karel, to give me all details, but you should understand it is both frustrating and to some extent offending to be proposed explanations that does not make sense and then more or less told that "I don't care until you upgrade". Especially as you hinted that all my problems with Powermail was due to me having an outdated version. That is all fine, but it would at least be nice then to tell what is outdated. At least one person from CTM did not agree with you either and suggested PM 3.1.3 could be used without to much suffering wiht OS X 10.2.x. Why did you think I even tried? >Hence my suggestion to you to upgrade. The facts you mentioned, which you didn't refer to. >>What about "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? >This doesn't work in an environment where the 'outside world' is >constantly changing and, due to one monopolist, cannot confirm to its own >standards. This is not making sense. If the outside world changes then the software becomes broke and needs fixing, thus not fitting with my saying. Also as far as I know PM 3 is not broke any more than PM 4 in the stuck messages department. Upgrade or not. And you suggesting again and again that I should upgrade doesn't change the facts that PM 4 have similar problems. Maybe not normally, however. I haven't used V.4 long enough to know. Your suggestions was based on kindness, I understand that, but you were using sweeping arguments without bother to understand what I was saying about *PM 4* and it made me feel like you were putting me off actually. I'm sorry, but that is how I felt.
