- +o Changing fonts via the Fonts dialog can have negitive

-
- +o Buttons do not resize correctly when their font is
- changed.
-
- +o Turning off all the panes, or resizing a window very

- +o You can not Unpreserve a message, you must delete it.
-
- +o The list of Aliases in the Aliases dialog does not
- automatically scroll to the newly added alias. You must
- manually scroll the list to see the addition.
-
- +o In a composition, you can not select and then paste
- more than 3998 characters using the middle mouse
- button. Also, you can not paste over a selection using
- the middle mouse button. The selection is deleted and
- nothing is pasted in its place.
-
- +o You can not search for the "[" character in a received
- message using the Search dialog. Use the Pattern Search
- dialog instead.
-
- +o If you set the _w_r_a_p_c_o_l_u_m_n variable to 80, and use an
- external editor to compose your message, the column
- will wrap at 79 characters when returning to the
- MediaMail editor. To prevent this from occurring, unset
- the _a_u_t_o_f_o_r_m_a_t variable.
-
- +o Occasionally this error message appears:
-
- XXXX EEEErrrrrrrroooorrrr ####1111:::: <<<<BBBBaaaaddddWWWWiiiinnnnddddoooowwww ((((iiiinnnnvvvvaaaalllliiiidddd WWWWiiiinnnnddddoooowwww ppppaaaarrrraaaammmmeeeetttteeeerrrr))))>>>>

- single quotes in the file name causes unexpected
- results.
-
- +o Filters are not run on new mail that is discovered
- during an update.
-
- +o Cutting 8-bit characters from an Emacs window and
- pasting them into a MediaMail composition has
- unexpected results.
-
- +o If a message has a "From " line, but no "From:" line,
- the _p_i_c_k -_f command will never find the message.
-
- +o Attachments of type message/rfc822 are not displayed
- correctly if they do not have rfc822 headers.
-
- +o MediaMail occasionally takes a very long time to open
- very large folders read-only.
