Apologies for what may be very trivial questions. I am currently
evaluating PowerMail and occasionally finding a few problems along with
a great many things I like.
I've tried find a way to manually delete attachments from outgoing
messages (they normal exist somewhere already) but had no luck despite
searching this list and Google. Any help would be welcome.

Leave them. All attachments are simply linked to the original and aren't
added to the database. For example, if you attached a photo that was on
your desktop called "picture 1.png" to a message, when you look at it in
the Out Tray, it displays an attachment icon. If you click once on the
item, then hold down the control key, you'll notice you have options for
Open Attachment, Show in Finder, and Get Finder Info. If you Show in
Finder, it pops you out to the item on your desktop.
Now, go back to the Out Tray, drag the item from the message and place
it into the trash. Now, Open up a finder window and look on the desktop
for "picture 1.png", you won't find it because it is now in the trash.
So you really don't have to delete them if your trying to keep your
database small because they aren't in your database.
Hope this helps.

Hi Steve,
Click on the enclosure (to select) and press the "delete" key, upper-
right of the keyboard.
Sometimes it's the simple things...

not exactly clear what the problem is.
situation 1 :
you have an outgoing message and added an attachment and now realize you
do not want to send the attachment but only the email but you want to
keep the attachment on your hard drive (for later use).
solution : select the attachment in the email at the bottom of the email
and hit delete (yes, the keyboard key DELETE).
situation 2 :
you have an outgoing message and added an attachment and now want to
send the email without the attachment but at the same time also want to
delete the attachment from your drive.
solution : control-click the attachment at the bottom of the email and
select "reveal in finder" - now you will have a finder window open and
reveal the item on your hard drive. move it to the trash. select the
attachment at the bottom of the email and hit DELETE (yes, again the
keyboard key DELETE).
you should be all set.

Hi,
I see Wayne and I read the question differently,
I was assuming you were changing your mind before
sending, rather than doing some post-sending clean-up.
In any case I hope one of us was right in our interpretation,
and you got what you needed.
:-)

yet another dumb question of mine. I can't seem to maker my PowerMail
(version 5.5.2) show email in html format show that way, and this is
probably related, double-clicking links (within in messages) doesn't work.

It's been a while since I've seen the =20 line ending issue. This is
related to a mail relay somewhere that is translating the line endings.
I haven't seen this issue in a few years. In fact I did a search through
my mail and only found a single message in a digest from early 2004 with
this problem. Can it be fixed? Well yes and no. I can be, but you will
have to use AppleScript to "fix it" It's a simple search and replace. If
you know how to script it you can do it yourself. If you don't, let me
know and I'll whip something up for you.

Hi George...
Menu -> PowerMail -> then select "HTML reader"
is the [x] Enable HTML reader check box checked?

Bruce
thank you for handling this so quickly.
Ya know, I can't get the most basic thing right, this is, the "Menu" part.
If I go up to the menu bar and click on PowerMail I do not get an option
to select "HTML reader"
?

you can do what George suggested and you can also select to have only
select messages display their html : select the html message and at the
bottom of the email you will see a little globe, click on that and
choose what you want to do.
also, when you are in PM, you will find a HELP menu item and the first
item in the drop-down list is the powermail MANUAL which should answer a
lot of your basic questions, next to that, there is also a PM FAQ item
in the list which should also be useful.
good luck,
---marlyse
-------------- EXERPT from the Power Mail MANUAL --------------
Section PREFERENCES :
HTML Reader
PowerMail can display HTML messages using Apple's HTMLRendering library.
This library does not display correctly certain HTML messages, and can
hang or crash PowerMail, so you might want to disable the HTML reader,
or to enable it only for messages that don't contain a plain text
version of the HTML data. Also, you can disable the download of external
pictures in HTML messages: they may be slow to download, and when you
receive spam, they can be used to inform the spammer that you have read
the message.
Note that you can click the button with a globe icon, at the bottom of
an HTML message, to display it in your web browser. You can also press
the button to reveal a popup menu that let you switch between the plain
text or the HTML version, and download the external images manually.

Oops, that's my fault... I left out the "Preferences" step. So it's:
* go to menu bar at the top of the screen
* click PowerMail
* move down to "Preferences...", click again
* select (click) "HTML reader" in the list on the left.
* check the check box.
Sorry about that.

Bruce,
Thank you.
It turns out that I do have that selected, but...
Oh well.
