Aha - thanks Benny. That did it.

Loving MailMate. I tried it as a cure to all that ails Apple Mail in Yosemite, and am finding it much more than a cure. And instant support like this helps, too. Looking for the credit card now ...

I’m tinkering with MailMate, and attempted to change the header font using the instructions in Hidden Preferences. I pasted

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewFontName -string “HelveticaNeue”
        defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewFontSize -float 13

…into Terminal and hit Enter.

When I restarted Mailmate, it was obviously ill. It took a second click on the dock icon to bring up the screen, and highlighting a message in the message list doesn’t bring up the message text.

I could reproduce that and I've made sure it'll behave better when this happens (outputting a warning and switching to the default font).

Clearly I’ve done something wrong here, but what can I do to reverse it?

To reverse it:

        defaults delete com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewFontName

To fix it:

defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmHeadersViewFontName -string "HelveticaNeue"

The problem was the use of curly double quotes.
