I have just tried the demo of Waste 3.0, the update for PM's text engine, which is Unicode (yes) and in some ways, for Semitic languages, even better then the engines currently used in Cocoa apps (full stops, half stops etc and numbers seem to be placed correctly, whereas they can be nightmarish

Well well, I have recovered my PowerMail database. What I had not thought of before, was the possibility that I used my database on an external HD (which of course I did not find by searching the internal HD). And indeed, this is the database I have been using all along.
