Anyone else having any problems?
Yes, but a very strange one. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on a
MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
I send all messages in ascii. If I send a message to someone and they
reply, quoting all or part of my message in their reply, the quoted part

the body of the email and a series of jpegs as attachments.

displayed to the right of

I used PM 5.6.4 on a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.2. Camino is
currently my default browser.
Things were fine until I had a problem with my laptop and ended up
erasing the drive and restoring everything from a back-up clone.
Now, even though Camino is my default browser (and is
I'm still using PM 5.5.3. The reason I've not yet moved up through the
intervening versions to 5.6.3 is because when I installed the first
upgrade after 5.5.3, I needed to reinstall the passwords for all my
accounts. (The phenomenon of needing to reinstall passwords was
discussed on this list.)

stored in the keychain, which is the case if you are affected by the
fact that PM 5.6 asks you to retype the password).

previously missing password, and I'm now using
