Hello folks,
I just upgraded my iPhoto to the latest and greatest(?) version of
iPhoto, namely that of iPhoto '09. Of course, the inevitable happened
and I can no longer select PowerMail as the preferred email client.
I found out that what needs to be done is to write a PowerMail script
and place it in the iPhoto package along with a .tiff icon file.
The problem is that I am no Applescript writer. Is there a canned
version of the old method updated for iPhoto '09? I could not find it
on the guy's website. If not, can some kind soul point me to an
alternate source of said script?
Failing that, can someone show me how to alter the existing scripts to
allow for PowerMail to work?
Cheers,
Tim

Hello all,
Well, I found my own solution:
simply manually transfer the existing script and .tif file from the
patcher program's package contents into iPhoto's package contents script
folder.

A few generations of PowerMail ago, the software was improved to allow
users the ability to create filters based on outgoing messages which
would allow us to choose such details as the sending account and the
signature. I had set up just such a filter for PowerMail discussion posts.
The details involve making an extra account entry with the requisite
info for the existing account in question along with the signature. In
my case, I have a standard entry for my ISP generated email account and
a near duplicate entry called "For PowerMail", which has the signature
you see below preset as an extra option.
All was well until now. No matter what I do, I cannot get that filter
to work. In order to send this email, I have set all those parameters
manually. I have also disabled the filter just in case.
I went to the website and while I could not find a specific answer to my
question, I did find an entry for a new option involving filter logs.
Joy! I was all set to use the filter log but then I noticed that I
don't seem to have the menu entry for that either.
Any ideas for either problem?

I would love to get a hold of that script and try it in iPhoto. Where
can I get it?

To debug this problem, save an outgoing message as draft, then go in the
Out Tray, and control-option-click the draft message to "perform all
filters with logging enabled".

Well, I have such a filter.
It's:
___
Filter outgoing
To or Copy is "<[email protected]>"
Do actions if All criteria is met
Actions:
Move messages to folder "PM"
Set account to "digital.discuss"
Run script "add powermail discuss sig"
Do not execute following filters
___
It works nicely.

Why would you need an extra account? Get rid of it.

>to work.
You should start anew with my example. If that doesn't work, you must
troubleshoot your filter strategy.

What are you talking about? You just admitted to the same thing: you
made an account entry called "digital.discuss".
Where did you get that script "add powermail discuss sig?" Care to
share? For the record, I set the signature in the "identity" section of
the account I used. That was the reason I made an extra account entry.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't bother with the extra account.

Here is the result:
To PowerMail List enabled 1 condition condition
met actions executed stopping
It seems to say that it was successful but clearly it is not. For the
record, I was using this filter for a long time WITHOUT change and with
complete success until now.
Here is my filter:
Conditions: To is "[email protected]"
Execute if all conditions are met
Actions: Set account to: "For PowerMail posts"
Don't apply subsequent filters to this message
The account is a duplicate of the basic ISP account with the signature
option set in the "Identity" section. I'm basically resetting my
identity for the sole purpose of choosing a signature.

I discovered that the low level rebuild in Powermail always results in a
database error.
I do regular database maintenance on my email file, and prior to 6.05 my
database rebuilt with no problems.
The standard compress works fine, I have no particular reason for
running the low level rebuild except that I like to believe that this
procedure does a more complete job of examining the data file...and my
mail data is valuable to me so spending a few extra minutes to verify
it's structures and rebuild indexes is worth the effort.
I wrote CTM but got no reply.
Can anyone else reproduce this issue? If it's my specific data file, I'd
like to know so I can perform a recovery procedure.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

No, I did not. There's only one email account. I made one specific
filter for only outgoing messages to powermail-discuss though.

I think I wrote it myself some time back, it's not the same as what
Wayne Brisette posted back in 2005 though - which I found googling and
which didn't work at all for me. Though I nicked one line from his old
one to make this one better.
You can find "add powermail discuss sig" on <http://pastebin.com/Y77kHgrs>
An improved version would use different signatures for different to-
addresses, but I'm not so inclined.
