I forget why that was the chosen option when using the print icon. However if
you use the keyboard shortcut of cmd-P, or File>Print you have all of these
options. You can also use the pull-down menu from the printer icon and any of
those options present a print dialog as well.

Hello,
I have developed a recent problem when I quit Powermail. I get an error
message that says "STL exception occurred." I joined the list when it
first happened and have also checked the archives; the only thing
similar regards triggers other than quitting.
When it happens, you can click OK and it closes, and there appears to be
no issue beyond that. I have tried the "hold button on start" thing to
no avail, and keep my in and out boxes clean regularly.
I am running PM 5.5.3 build 4480 on a G4 mini running 10.4.9.

If I understand your issues, PM provides a print dialog if you click and
HOLD the printer icon (or go to File>Print) and choose "Print...".
Many people like the convenience of immediate printing of the frontmost
e-mail, but I suppose a preference setting to allow which type of
printing takes place would please everyone.

I usually use (command p) to print. In some cases, notably the html
messages (as viewed in html mode) I am never presented with a print
dialog box, even if I command p to print. So it prints without a dialog
box. I feel that is a violation of the UI, unexpected behavior, a bug,
and causes problems. After all there is a dot dot dot after the word
Print in the print... menu. That ... means that there will be another
dialog box. The "Print One" is also ok, but should not act the same
exact way as the "Print..." menu item.
Perhaps this problem is only happening on intel Macs?
My system:
PowerMail 5.5.3 build 4480 OSX 10.4.8 & 10.4.9, Intel iMac.
To replicate problem:
-----------------------
View any message with a html globe at the bottom left.
(If necessary; double-click the message so it appears in it's own window).
Click the little globe to view the message in html mode.
Pull the file menu to "Print..." or press command p.
Note; no "print" dialog box, but after a short delay the entire email is
printed to the most recently used printer.
Is it like that for you?
It's also printing way too big (large font) because I like to view them
onscreen larger. There should be separate controls for printing &
viewing sizes. But that is a separate issue.

No, this is a bug/flaw in PowerMail. The mailing list recently had a
LONG discussion about this. In my experience (OS 10.3.9/10.4.9 on a G3
600Mhz iBook, PowerMail 5.5.3) HTML mail also prints only a header with
a box around the perimeter of the page. There is no text.
Workarounds are to:
- use the button at the bottom of the email window to select "Show plain
text with header", then print
- use the same button to "View message in web browser", then print.
HTML printing does not work correctly. Some on the mailing list don't
mind, others find it annoying and/or bush league (beta level, not ready-
for-market). It certainly is not Mac-like. No word from CTM on a fix.
Good luck.

You mean like a .gif or .jpg image? If so, you don't. That is not
supported by PowerMail, that would be a feature supported via HTML or
RTF mail, neither of which are supported (or supported to that extent).

I strongly recommend you not. Many, if not most, of your correspondents
will find it annoying and some will actually ask you to stop anyway.

It's a bug... In this PMpr resource, set the last flag (numbered 0) to
"on" should work.

In the general preference pane, do you have some actions checked when
quitting PM? If so, does doing these action manually also triggers the
problem?

Have you tried to compact your database? Or to low level rebuild it?
