Professional cyclists are known to try this sort of thing… Marco Pantani was 
(in)famous for taking a file to his bike to literally shave a few grams off, 
presumably to compensate for the extra density due to EPO… As with many things, 
this was likely to bring marginal improvements at best, with potentially 
catastrophic results. Material science and aerodynamics have since provided 
greater improvements with fewer risks but at some point you reach the 
theoretical limits for particular situations.

In many situations the best answer is: get a bigger engine. This is easy in IT 
with the continued improvements in semiconductor development, processors may 
have stalled but improvements in memory chips keep coming along. In your case, 
as you noted, initially, get more memory. Just a pity that Apple has decided 
that this shouldn't be an option…

PS thanks to Bill for his eloquent discussion of MailMate's need for extensive 
indices.

It seems to have made the behaviour worse, if anything. Now, whenever I try to 
paste a .tif graphic, the graphic appears twice when displayed in Apple Mail - 
once at the top of the email and once at the bottom - as well as showing quoted 
text as indented rather than blue-lined.

[MlMt] 5806 minor annoyance

2021-05-18 Thread Charlie Clark
Benny,

probably a regression due to fixing other things. but 5806 reenabled the sent 
mail sound which I'd disabled years ago, meaning it took me a while to disable 
it again.

[MlMt] Auto-updater permission elevation

2021-05-18 Thread Felix Lange
Hi,

I use MailMate from a non-admin user account. It is installed in /Applications, 
and
apps installed there require admin permission to update. I’m on Big Sur.

Quite a while ago, the MailMate auto-updater stopped working for me, failing 
with
a permission error. It used to be that it would prompt for the admin password,
but this doesn’t happen anymore.

Is anyone else using this kind of setup? Does it work for you?

I understand it is a known issue.You best bet is to install the app in ~/applications (local user profile). It works from there. On 18 May 2021 12:59, Felix Lange  wrote:Hi,
