Hi,
And now for something completely picky...
As I edit new emails, especially longer ones (say, starting with a large
amount of pasted text)
little dots appear at the far left of the text input area, just before
or touching the 1st
text column.
<-- here :-)
Sometimes 1 dot, sometimes 2. Looks like kind of like debugging info. They
disappear if you resize the window.
How come?
Bruce

I don't know but they've been there for years and through many versions.
I posted to the list about them some time ago.

What you are seeing is most likely the symbol used to indicate the text
to which you are replying. I don't get dots, rather I get chevrons ">"
or in other packages, solid lines or bars.
The reason some might disappear is that by resizing the window, you are
changing the wrap point, most likely.
As an example, my copy of T-Bird shows your example text with a solid
bar as the "quote" character, while in this reply, it has been converted
to a series of chevrons.
Other than that, I can't imagine what you are seeing.

no, they are artefacts

Hi,
Actually they are 1-pixel dots, nearly invisible, they look like
redraw artifacts. I get chevrons ">" as well. The little dots
don't move on resize, they completely disappear.
Oh, and they don't disappear on window minimize/restore.
Mostly I just ingnore them, but somehow today they're bothering me -
very odd indeed.

It's command+option while opening PM... but it's not working for me now,
I'm on PM 5.5.1 - and for the first time in a long time I have the
bolded In Tray even though no unread message in it.
Anyone else having problems opening the first aid window?
Thanks,

If you are too quick to press the hotkeys, OSX takes over as Opt+Launch
to hide others.

aha! ... or so I thought.
but I tried it with delay and still no go, PM opens each and every time
without opening the first aid dialog box.
it IS opt+command or did that change?

It's still Opt+Cmd. Trust me. You are in a tight timing margin. It
needs practice :-)

heh, I hear you.
the thing which I do not understand is why now suddenly I should not be
able to do it but never had problems in the past - did the timing margin
then change to such an extent? even if it did, I really did try every
1/10 of a second variation (it's all the time I have between clicking
and having PM open) and still no go... but if I still am missing just
the right moment, it is more than odd and definitely shouldn't be that
hard... and never was, well, I'll go practicing until somebody else
confirms that this is a problem with the latest PM version.

Alright, after trying it for over 20 times, and knowing that I am not
totally out of my head (usually), I downloaded version 5.2.3 of PM and
as expected, not the slightest problem in getting to the first aid
window, 3x in a row instantly there. But it does NOT work under 5.5.1 of PM.
Hiro, are you using version 5.5.1 of PM and are you able to open the
first aid window?
Anyone else not able to open the first aid window under 5.5.1 (OS X 10.4.8) ?
