Hi Shell, and welcome.
I think that you may have gone about it slightly back to front. If
memory serves (and it's been a while since I registered a copy of PM so
I might be wrong) you should *drop the application onto the key*, not
the other way around.
Actually, it works key on application,

contextual menu and in addition to quoting, and de-quoting, it can

I found a set of keys in another location as well. Inside the
application package are two keys, one PMKey, the other PMKey ira801.1.
Despite have privileges as the administrator, I can't seem to delete the
key with the numbers in the name, nor rename the other one.
Any suggestions? Yes, I
There was a posting in 2002 (thanks, foxtrot!):
Keys should not have a number at the end, otherwise they keep duplicating.
Thanks, Karel, BUT... my PM key is labeled PMKey (no numbers) and the
duplicates are PM Key 5 ira801.1, PM Key 5 ira801.2, etc. Very weird.

I seem to recall this situation being discussed but have no recollection
of the outcome and remedy.
In my user/Library/Preferences folder I noticed about 40 copies of my PM
registration key. It appears that each time I launch PM another copy
appears. This is with OS 10.3 and PM 5.2.1 build
Currently OS 10.3, PM 5.2.1.
In all my years of using PowerMail (going back to version 3) I always
kept the folder PowerMail Files in the same folder with the PM
application. All of a sudden PM will not recognize this location and
insists on it being in the user's Mail file. A Switch User
