Don't delay - get it now! This is by far the best Mac POP client I've seen, and I've seen most of them. The new version has lots of great new features. This is the program I use most often on my Mac, and it's one of my favorites. Kudos to Steve Dorner once again.

I just recieved the new beta version and its even better. Great job Steve. Steve, since you went to all the trouble of being able to switch out of your program (except message transmission) when any dialog is up, why don't you just make the dialogs moveable-modal? Especially the password dialog box. I have your program auto launch when I reboot and the first thing it asks is a password. If I want to do something else at that moment I have to dismiss the dialog box or click on the Multifinder icon. (or else type in the password and wait while it does its network stuff) If I double click on a folder or a disk Icon of course it beeps because a dialog box is up. Just a suggestion, Matt -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora | my Mac Matt_Mora@QM.SRI.COM SRI International | my SUN mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________

Just clickee the icon... (It doesn't work when opening or closing a connection with the CTB, because it is my sad experience that some mac/modem combinations hang when doing asynchronous open/close calls with the CTB. Nice people at Apple tell me they can't repeat the problem. (Sigh.) It also doesn't work with System 7.0 (or so I'm told). The rest of the time it should work fine.) >when any dialog is up, why >don't you just make the dialogs moveable-modal? 1. I have no documentation on them (not in IM I-V or the technotes). (I am not a registered developer, just a poor unwashed slob.) 2. I was under the impression they should not be used with calls to Alert or ModalDialog. (I know that a REAL programmer writes his own versions of ALL the mac managers in order to comply with tn 203, but I'm afraid I cheat.) -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

The only thing I miss is POPmail's ability to recognize BinHex code in _any_ letter. This is extremely useful: For instance: I am on a mailing list where people occasionaly include small BinHex'ed files in their letters, which POPmail then recognizes and converts automatically. In Eudora, a message has to be marked with an "X-Attachments:..." to be recognized as containing a BinHex'ed file. Is this some kind of standard way to signal to mail programs that there are attached files to the message? ----------------------------------------- Espen J.

it would help with this problem, but perhaps it's worth a try.

If this is really happening to you, you must be experiencing some strange bug; talk to me. Eudora looks for the standard: (This file must be converted with.... and does its thing.
