There are a number of other programs that you can use to delete the message from your inbox on the server so PowerMail doesn't choke on it. Tim's PowerMail FAQ lists a few; see: <http://home.hpo.net/timm/PowerMailFAQ.html#5.3.2> (The whole FAQ is worth a read, especially if you didn't know about it before.) Also, some have mentioned another app, Mail Siphon, on this list. Or, some other e-mail clients don't choke so easily on these things. You can give Outlook Express, etc a simple test run (just be sure to have your preferences set not to delete mail so you can get the right stuff later with PowerMail). So there's a start for you. Since the messages you receive are from a spammer, I doubt anything will get fixed on the PowerMail end. People use malformed mail (and other) precisely to mess up the systems they target. While PowerMail 4 may not handle these bum messages any better than version 3.1.3, I doubt it does it any worse (and probably helps reduce the possibility of database corruption by _not_ accepting them).
