So no sooner do I think it's over, when suddenly PowerMail refuses to hide, again.
I wasn't fishing around in the spam folder, so that wasn't it. I had received only a few messages this morning, so I questioned the likely suspects. One that triggers it (maybe more) is from a Yahoo! Group mailing list. Looking back through my archive for this particular group, I see that the list format was changed between 4 May 2007 and 6 May 2007. The new format is HTML (surprise) and unfortunately a mess in plain text (bonus surprise). From the 27 April 2005 when I joined the group to 4 May 2007, none of the messages manifest the bug. But after that they do. The headers appear identical, but for this: 4 May 2007 (ok): >X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-digest-trad >Content-Type: text/plain >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 6 May 2007 (bad!): >X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-digest-ff >Content-Type: text/html >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Another Yahoo! Group I'm subscribed to didn't make this switch to an HTML format. On 8 May 2007 and following, their header still reads: >X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-digest-trad >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable or this: >X-Yahoo-Newman-Property: groups-digest-trad-u >Content-Type: text/plain >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit And these messages cause no problems. The Search Results window is also bitten by the bug, and refuses to hide after selecting a bum message. So how many people might be subscribed to Yahoo! Groups who also use PowerMail? :O All of this proving, of course, that HTML-mail is eeeevil !!! >:) Chris --
