Not in the AppleScript dictionary of PM, so it isn't going to happen soon. Maybe somebody else has an idea for you. >3) Feature: A "File in" function for outgoing messages.

(Meaning >if I've already moved an incoming message to a folder and then reply to >it, my reply is moved to that very folder after it is sent.) If you file things in certain folders you might be able to setup some mail rules to do this, but this is a feature request that isn't readily available. > >4) Feature: Flag.

A flag makes it stick out, and a filter function "show >flagged mails only" makes it real easy to find these important mails.

There is a way of using labels for this but it requires using AppleScripts, so this may not what you're looking for. For the record we had a discussion about this just the other week. It seems most on this list didn't see a need for them and to be honest I'm not a fan of flags, but that's just my personal preference. With labels I don't see much of a need for flags. Although it would be nice to be able to sort labels. > >5) Feature: Priority. Have I missed something? I can't find this feature >anywhere...(!?) There is a workaround for this that involves setting up multiple accounts so that the additional X-header information is added. I will note (as I always do) that any and all X-headers are totally optional and since there isn't any RFC they may or may not work. You can setup rules in PowerMail for incoming messages, but there isn't any automatic flags for priorities. Instead they are ignored. Many of the internet mailers do the same thing, so they may or may not be useful to you. I recently cleaned up my mail, so I don't have the complete instructions for this. Anybody have the directions I posted a couple of months ago about how to setup priorities? If so, would somebody be kind enough to send that message to the list again? Thanks! > >6) Script/Feature: Rewrap Text. When a mail has went back and forth a few >times, the text wrap in the quoted text tends to mess up.

For what it's worth, I find TextSOAP does the best job of this (but it requires a copy and paste of the information). As mentioned there are also some AppleScripts available that you can try.
