Apparently it also includes Sparkle support (that didn't used to exist
previously, did it?)
Anyway, something appears to have gotten a bit wonky with the Edit menu:
if I do a Paste of some text into a message, then do a Select All, the
Cut and Copy commands are subsequently unavailable until I take some
other action on the text (e.g. select a subset of it with the mouse).
This used to work properly in the previous build.

I think I am seeing a new issue since starting to run this build:
When viewing a message in its own window (the clone of the Claris
Emailer message window), if I choose a folder from the pick list to file
the message, the immediate rectangle around the selected folder in the
pick list remains visible superimposed on the message window after the
folder is chosen and the pick list otherwise disappears.
This appears to be a visual/drawing artifact, as the message is properly
filed in the selected folder. It may have been present in previous
versions, but I just noticed it with this one.
Question: Is there any concern about running PowerMail 6.0.5 after
running PM 6.0.6b1?
Also:
I was going through my messages, deleting some old ones (mostly to get
rid of attachments). I used the 'View only' control to see messages
relating to a single subject, which produced a list of three messages.
When I tried to select the three messages (click first, shift-click the
last), I got a database error, followed by 100% CPU usage and PowerMail
became completely unresponsive. I force-quit PM, then tried to
duplicate the error, but was able to complete the action of selecting
then deleting the messages with no problems.
Sorry I didn't capture the specific message that accompanied the
database error...

PowerMail was previously using an older version of Sparkle; the newer
version can optionally send us anonymous system information statistics,
and can install updates automatically.

This will be fixed.
Thanks for the report

This will also be fixed in version 6.0.6b2.

I have a similar issue as Don had, but worse. I woke up to find
Powermail locked up. It would not quit and I needed to do a force quit.
Upon trying to re-open, Powermail wants to rebuild sort indices and then
when it is done it exits with the same error as above. None of the
options in PowerMail First Aid help, including low level rebuild with
the latest beta.
I now have a corrupt message database that Powermail can not open.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the usual suspects,
verified/repaired the disk itself, PowerMail First Aid by holding down
command option on startup, etc, to no avail. I have a 4 day old backup,
but would like to recover that mail... I have a copy of Powermail
Salvage from a similar situation a couple years ago, but when I launch
Powermail Salvage on my Intel Macbook or Mac Mini it just does the
spinning beach ball... Does Powermail Salvage even work on Intel Macs?
On Powermail 6 message databases? Any options for me to get my mail back?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings,
A new beta of PowerMail 6.0.6 is available, and fixes some newly
introduced bugs that were reported on this list.
It is currently only available from the built-in version checking, from
the PowerMail menu.

Thanks for the update! The visual artifact from the filing pick list no
longer happens when I am filing messages - at least on the half dozen or
so that I tried.
.

A minor issue: When I used 'Check for Updates' from the menu, I clicked
on the 'download' link in the resulting pane. I am using iCab, and for
some reason iCab tried to load the .tbz file into a window. When I used
the link to get to the release notes, and clicked on the link on that
page, the same thing happened. I was able to download the file from the
release notes page by selecting 'Download Link' from iCab's contextual
menu when control-clicking the link.
I then decided to update within PowerMail instead of using the
downloaded file, and that process worked fine.
Any hope of getting the exporting of an entire database to PowerMail
Exchange format fixed, or is that beyond the scope of this pending update?
Thanks,
- Don
