I occasionally get Error -981, too. On my system, it's like this: - When I double-click the message to open it in a new window, I get the error message. - But in the preview pane below the messages list, the message is displayed fine. - Then, I double-click the same message again: _Nothing_ happens. No new window, no error message. - And now, this is really strange: I double-click the message that is listed above the message that triggered the error to open it in a new window. The new window gets opened... and then, when I hit the right arrow button to go to the "erroneous" message, it IS displayed without any error message. I think (but I'm not sure) this happens when the message contains characters that aren't covered in the font that I've set to display messages: I use an "old-style" bitmap font for display which has a limited character set... that's why I didn't report this before, I just thought: "Hey, you chose to use such an old-fashioned font, so don't complain if you're running into problems from time to time..." By the way, when such an message is displayed, it uses a font that I set up nowhere in PowerMail's preferences (Osaka Regular-Mono), so I guess PM automatically switches to font which has a rich character set... Maybe this helps to figure out what happens to H.R. Riggs. Kind regards, Tobias Jung
