No installation problems whatsoever.  But also, no fixes or changes, as far as I can tell.  And yes, "About" does show that I am running 2.20.2030.

"Account Settings" -> "Send" -> "At Send, Reflow messages to" is still limited to 1000 bytes.  I want WYSIWIG editing, but I want to send unwrapped messages.  It seems to me that the way to do this is to allow "reflow to" margins to be 64K or perhaps zero.  I leave it at 1000, but that's not a great solution.  For example, this paragraph probably looks pretty good in your reader - it probably gets folded to whatever your window size happens to be - but there will be an apparently random line break every 1000 characters.  The break also gets inserted when I save drafts, adding to the annoyance.

If PMMail is "minimized to status window" and a filter deletes all the incoming messages, the status window blinks blue/yellow with the message, "PMMail/2 - No new mail".

The annoying and pointless dialog boxes about reindexing ("warning - this may be time-consuming" followed a millisecond later by "all done") and filtering ("all done") should be easy to suppress.  Still no "reindex all" option, and no way to identify orphan files.

I accept the possibility that there aren't enough remaining OS/2 users to justify these features, but if it's a common code base, maybe it could happen.  I do expect to pay a suitable upgrade price for a new release with real enhancements...  In fact, I am eager to.
