I have background indexing turned on and I'm using a relatively quick
machine. My message database is around 90 Mb, and when I do search PM
can take more than 5 minutes to 'sort and optimize' my database. For
this reason I don't search very often (perhaps every two or three
days). Looking in my 'PowerMail Files' folder, I see that the 'Message
Database index' dates from my last major PM upgrade in October 2006 and
carries neither type nor creator (so the Finder doesn't what to use to
open it) .
Is such slowing searching normal? And, if so, would FoxTrot be equally
slow if I invested in it as a standalone?

You may try to compact your search index (from the menu File /
Database / Compact Search Index).

This is in fact a file package, so the Finder does not reflect the
modification date of the files inside the package.

Interesting. My Message database is around 1GB, the Message Database
index is 248mb and it took 7 seconds to 'sort and optimize'.

hi,
i have a problem reading html mails, not the kind of html that has
images and colors and stuff integrated, but usually it's just plain
message that people reply to. i send them a message from powermail in
plain text, they reply (from hotmail or gmail account) in html, and all
i can see is "ddv wrote". after that it looks like all the text is
printed on top of each other in an unreadable font....
