I have several copies of the key on various hard drives, from many different backups. All that PM does is create a new outgoing message, making the key an attachment to the new message. I even tried dragging the key into the "Enter registration number" dialog box without success. I have no idea what my registration number is - would it be that excessively long Customer ID in the About PowerMail box?! I was really beginning to think that every copy of the key I had was corrupt, but I was too exhausted to keep at it. While composing a message to CTM for support after finding nothing useful on the PM support site, I decided to try a new plan, before sending the message and waiting several days or more for a reply. So, since I had multiple backups of my PowerMail Files folder and didn't feel I had anything to lose, I decided to try something that PM wouldn't assume should be attached to a new message. The first thing I could think of was the message database or index. I was slightly worried that PM would crash upon reaching the 200 message limit for the trial version, but that didn't happen. Thankfully, my key must be embedded in the database, and PM knew what to do with the database, so I now have all my messages on my new Mac Pro. It only took seconds before I could see that all my messages, filters, and signatures had arrived safely. (I am so glad I keep my database lean and clean!) And with my 23" HD Cinema Display, I can read entire messages without having to scroll. PM is much faster at retrieving messages. (I mean, "Lickety-split, no-time-to-waste, got-SO-much-to-do, major caffeine rush, can't-touch-this, Whoa Nelly!" FAST at EVERYTHING!) I am so happy! -- Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort. - John Ruskin
