I finally ugpraded to Leopard (and immediately patched to 10.5.1) last
night. I've had PM running for several hours (since yesterday although
my MBP was asleep overnight). I was fearing for the worst, but FWIW
right now it's only using about 55 MB resident (450 MB virtual).

Hi, all -
Anyone else having 'focus' problems with PowerMail? I was 'away' from
PowerMail for a couple of months, and restarted using it just prior to
the v5.6 update. The symptoms I am having:
- If PowerMail is not the front application, and I click on the Dock
icon for PowerMail, the menu bar appears, but not any of the PowerMail
windows. A second click (not a double-click) on the Dock icon brings up
the window that was frontmost in PowerMail when last used.
- The same applies if I select PowerMail using Command-Tab, except
there is no way to second-click to bring a window to the front.
- In either case, the Window menu items for Mail Browser and Recent
Mail don't bring the respective windows to the front. However, if there
is a message window open, that can be selected from the menu and it
comes to the front.
- The keyboard shortcuts for the Mail Browser and Recent Mail _do_ work
to display these windows, as does selecting the window from the Dock menu.
PowerMail 5.6.1, build 4499
See below for my system description.

Over the years that I have been on this list, I have considered myself
fortunate not to have had any problems with PowerMail that Compact
Database would not solve on a very rare occasion.. However, I am
currently stumped by a problem that has recently arisen with PM 5.5.3
and now with PM 5.6.1.
I am using a MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB RAM operating Mac OS
10.5.1.
PowerMail works fine except when composing text. Subject and Recipient
lines accept data as normal but when text is entered into the message
window it appears microscopically small, a little larger than periods.
I have touch typed some test messages and sent them to myself and found
the messages are rendered in normal type font size. The problem is that
I cannot see what I am typing.
I also have PowerMail 5.6.1working on an iBook PowerPC under Mac OS
10.5.1 and PM works fine. Also tried PowerMail on an old Blue & White
G3 and it too works fine which suggests that it is not a bug in PM but
may be a problem with Leopard.
I recollect that when the problem first arose a week ago, the letters
typed into the message window appeared giant size to the point where I
could only see parts of a single letter. PM Preferences>Display options
are set at 16 and 14 points for Times Roman and Verdana. The character
set is ISO 8859-15 (Latin 9).
What am I missing? Suggestions gratefully welcomed.

The latter happens for me on first click.

For me they invariably come to the front
I haven't upgraded to 5.6.1 yet. You're saying you experienced the same
behaviour with 5.6?

I am seeing the exact same symptoms with PowerMail 5.5.3 b4480 on Mac OS
X 10.4.11. The problems might have started with one of the recent Mac OS
X system updates, I guess (either 10.4.10 or 10.4.11), but I cannot say
exactly.
Regards, Christian.

That may be logical as I don't have this problem and am on 10.4.8.

Yes, I think 10.4.11 as well as Leo started it.
It took me a while to realize 10.4.11 and Leo are the only thing has
changed to my PM env.

I see. If Ben is doing fine, it must be my db. So, I compacted the db
for backup purpose first then I ran low level rebuilt. Wow. PM returns
in db error then crashes. At this point, PM no longer launches without crash.
I restored <filename>.old files I just created with compacting but PM
still crashes. Same thing under OSX10.5.1 and OSX10.4.11. PM FirstAid
in any combination ends with PM crash. Removing pref file didn't help.
I had to restore everything from my backup. This isn't good. I have a
bomb in my PM db.
Both Spam folder and PM Trash can be emptied with no problem so the bomb
isn't there. I really don't have time to hunt this down :_(

I don't think it is strictly the O/S updates. I'm running 10.4. 11
(check the sig for more) with PowerMail 5.5.3 (build 4480) and have no
such problems. In fact, the only font related problems I have are:
1) There are no font adjustment buttons in outgoing mail windows
(current drafts or already sent)
2) There is still no way of adjusting the font size for printing
separately from displaying.
Perhaps an interaction with a 3rd party font/character set utility or
other addition is causing the problem?

Well,
I just got out the shotgun (MainMenu) and did the following:
- Repaired Permissions (seemed to only find permissions related to
iTunes and Flash to repair)
- Update Prebindings (I've heard that this is no longer relevant in
10.4.?, and the log seemed to only contain 'image not found' and 'no
need to re-prebind' messages at a quick scan.
- Cleaned user caches - A bunch of PowerMail cache files were listed
- Cleaned archived logs
Now, the front PowerMail window snaps into focus when I click on the
dock icon or use the application switcher.
It occurs to me that I have my Cube set to sleep between 10:00 pm and
5:00 am, so perhaps the daily/weekly/monthly scripts could have also
'fixed' this problem.
Anyhow, problem solved for me...

Subject: Problem printing html messages
From: "Dave N" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 10:21:27 -0800
So I receive a HTML message (a receipt for a purchase), and I want to
print it. I press "command p" and want to choose the printer, and check
the "preview" to make sure it is just 1 page....
Nope! Can't do it! As I am waiting for the Print Dialog box to show up,
the color printer immediately prints the job! That is Not the printer I
wanted to print to!
I KNOW this has been discussed before, but the problem still exists, and
it's really surprising that when dealing with a HTML message in html
view that PowerMail won't allow a choice of printers, and won't allow a
"preview" nor saving as a PDF from the print dialog box. Nor will it
allow a choice of which pages to print. All because the Print dialog box
is skipped when printing a html message.
In addition, PowerMail will not print the message header info, so I'm
left with just the HTML message body and no printed proof of date or who
it came from/To. Just completely unsatisfactory!
Best,
Dave
