     Not necessarily.  The problem is that both the 'enhancer' and
PMMail are trying to trap the same RMB event.  This is bound to cause
problems, but since most of these 'enhancers' allow you to add specific
apps to their 'exclusion list' it's best to add PMMail (and any other
app that requires exclusive access to a RMB event) to this list.
