Yes, I understand BSW is a very small outfit so perhaps they're on holiday! I understand they're concentrating on a major re-write now which I hope will address some of the major issues with PM and perhaps add some of the features that we've been requesting for many months.
My favourite would be to have the right arrow key (or another key) bring up the Canned Replies menu whilst typing an email. At the moment you have to move your hand back to the mouse to include stock phrases which slows things down and makes them rather less useful than they might be. Also the Search routine could do with some speeding up!
Generally its probably still the best non MS mail client and I recommend all of my non-business contacts to use it. Of course it doesn't have the same level of business-process integration as you can get with Outlook, but its nice to smile smugly as the latest scripting worm does the rounds and drops harmlesly into my inbox or, eventually spam folder.

I wanted to use message size for spam filtering (many spam message have a size of 140 to 160k so any with this size can be treated with suspicion!), but as you say the size tag described in the help does not work.
