Hello, imho the Spam problem could be controlled much better, if the guys, who are in charge of mailservers would configure these boxes better. Bad mails (unauthorized senders, bad headers, infected mails etc) should be bounced already by the mail server, before accepting it. Most mailservers

subhash, I'm not sure what you're asking. If the question is why is there a 2 gig limit? my guess is that the answer lies in the compiler or codebase that ctm uses; you'd have to ask them, but a 2 gig limit was a filesize limit for Mac OS for many years, and some apps that date back to pre-OS X

Winston, Mail, not attachments. Most mail gateways block anything over 10 megs anyway, so that's not really an issue. And the Attachments folder (AFAIK) can get as big as it gets. If you Save as Text, that saves a file externally of PowerMail, doesn't it? The point is to have everything in one

Steve - I am not aware of a flag that strips html, but that would be nice. Feature request for ctm? I would guess that would shrink your message database substantially. 1.5 GB of plan text is a lot of text. You could re-save messages as plain text. Forward creates plain text files and preserves

I agree about losing the header data. It still is in the forward, but not readable by PowerMail's headings. The one feature I'd really like is to be able to annotate the Subject line for those emails where the subject does not match the content. I use Forward for this, but as you point out, it
