Bill Lane sez:

This is precisely one more point for why mail programs can't be
everything to everyone. I don't want my attachments shown inline. I want
them at the end of the mail where I can click on them if I wish to view
them. And, if I do not want to view them, I want to simply send them to
the trash by deleting the mail (as Powermail does) or by selecting
individual attachments and trashing them (as Powermail allows). I don't
care about the mail with one thousand cute kitten photos next to little
cute sayings. If I get photos I like, I can view them in Preview by just
clicking on them or drag them over to iPhoto to save.
Of course, other people's mileage will vary. If PowerMail does allow
this great inline viewing at some point, I hope they give me a
preference to turn it off and show the names of the pics or other
attachments old-style. Mail.app does not allow this. HTML is either on
or off, and I get a button to load images if it's off. Not what I want,
even if people think it is what I need. :)

I belong to quite a few software beta groups. Almost all of them posts
bug reports with embedded images from Apple Mail, and PM won't handle
them since they don't come as HTML mail.
When someone embeds series of images with its name being generic, I have
to guess the sequences. Lately it got worse. PM is picking up wrong
files. When I open the attachment, PM is so confused and showing me
totally wrong images probably because the file name is generic screen
capture appended by long numbers.
These days I feel I am cornered to switch to Apple Mail. Is there any
solution to this? By the way, First Aid didn't work to remedy this
problem. I have a feeling PM can't handle 13,000 files in the
attachment folder.

Nope.

Nope.
SpamSieve just works. It is 99.6 % correct with my PowerMail messages.
Since years.

I think OM uses aliases, so I wouldn't think the name throws it off
unless the alias in question is broken.

Not too sure about this, because sometimes it opens correct attachment
after reboot, but not after restarting PM. It seems as if PM caches
with wrong pointer.
