Hi Howard,
Thank you! I was using the older version of iPhoto Mailer Patcher. I
downloaded 4.1, and it works perfectly with the newest version (7.1) of
iPhoto, even though the documentation doesn't mention it.
Thanks,
Jaede

Matthias, why do you have to bring up that old nonsense again? Powermail
displays HTML messages and it's natural to expect that it should print
such messages fine, even if third party software developers wrote that
software (Apple in this case I believe).
All that yay-saying "use something else" could easily KILL PowerMail
some day. To engage in that behaviour is not about being helpful to the
community at all. It's just bitching back, that's all there is to it.
Please just let it go, OK?
To not fully support HTML-messages, at least treating them as full
citizens coming in your mailbox, could very well in the long run make
PowerMail obsolete and unusable for anyone using email for their
business or other important relational purposes. Email is not about
being an island, it's about *communicating*. Being incompatible means
you put obstacles in the way of your communication. That's not good.
This is why moving to zip for attachment was such an important move.
While not perfect IMHO for being compatible with some PC users, it's
usually working. If CTM hadn''t given us the possibility to display HTML-
messages I would have had to abandon it, because I get some important
messages that won't display properly without it.
Winston, please support CTM by patiently ask for requests and engage in
a dialog and try to be little understanding that while CTM are, unlike
many other companies developing email software, charging for it, they do
provide an alternative that have many features others do not. That gap
is closing, yes, and one day CTM will have to make a move, but the call
is theirs. That does not mean you shouldn't express your opinion in a
constructive manner, but please understand that your point will not be
made stronger by just repeating it now and then.

Mikael:
I think the thing to understand is that when PowerMail was developed it was
developed as something that was 100% RFC compatible. Currently there are some
things that are under discussion, by other companies and not full panels on
HTML email. Thus, I would argue that there isn't anything wrong with PowerMail
sticking by the non-HTML model as the primary email mode. Others are changing
the way email works outside the RFC committees and honestly, I'm not sure that
is the best model, but everybody is doing it. Things are changing. Maybe we
won't have email anymore, we'll have video messages, who knows.
You also seem to put up more of a stink than anybody on this list about what's
right and wrong with PowerMail, and HTML seems to be your #1 concern, which is
simply a minor footnote for a lot of others. That's where CTM gets to decide
what they feel the community needs and where they want to spend their efforts.
I could go on-and-on, but I won't. I will merely say that I think you're just
as obnoxious with your HTML is everything tirades you go on every few months.

>Are we the only ones having this issue?
>Is there a fix?
Do you zip the files or not? ie do you compress them?
If not, that should do the trick.
