Well, as the icons (in the message window) still turns to a trashbin I'd
say this is an inadvertently introduced bug. It will prevent me from
using 5.6.2, so I'm reverting to 5.6.1 from the next session on.
I'll have to wait until this bug is fixed. Hopefully in 5.6.3 or so.
I suggest you bug report it as I'm doing next.

4D people page?

A field where? In some kind of DB (Apple Address book, file system, Mail
DB) or similar?

I think it's safe to assume that a built-in option to display user
photos inside the realm of PowerMail would have to be related to some
kind of established standard, don't you think? Are there any?
Could you redescribe your concept again and state the objectives for the
functions you imagine? Is the scope wider than 4D people page photos?

It's a bug; the alternate shortcuts (control option left/right arrow)
should still work however.

I apologize for not being clearer. The 4D People Page pics I referred to
are just JPEGs on a website.
The gist of what I was talking about was to be able to display a picture
of an email's sender when viewing an email. And to be able to specify a
file, URL or person in Apple's Address Book from which to retrieve the
picture.

I believe Apple uses SQLite as the basis for their CoreData module. So,
I'd bet Apple publishes how to access data in any of their basic
applications or that it'd be relatively easy to figure out how to access
the Address Book pictures. I can't say for sure because I haven't
started work on it yet.
