Entourage 2008... Message 11 does not exist???/

[jefferis peterson]

Hi folks,
I've run into 3 problems on my fairly new Entourage 2008.
1. If I choose NOT to automatically copy prior posts when replying, I
cannot select a section of an email and hit reply, allowing that selected
text to be quoted. This seems to be a problem ONLY with HTML mail, but it
is inconvenient, because I don't want to copy an entire post each time I
reply, but only the relevant text...
2. When posts have image attachments, when I press forward, no images are
attached to the forward even when I want them to be and cannot get them to
attach.

3. A rule has stopped working suddenly forcing certain emails to go into the
deleted folder with the message Message 11 does not exist and cannot be
moved, but the message is clearly in the Inbox instead of moved...

Odd... Is all I can say.

I'm seeing this too. Not sure if this is a bug or a limitation with
Entourage and HTML.

attach.

I suggest using Forward as Attachment instead. This allows you to
forward the original message just as you received it.

moved, but the message is clearly in the Inbox instead of moved...

Try disabling all rules except for the one that's not working. Does it
still cause problems? Does deleting and recreating it fix the problem?
Do you possibly need to drag it to the top of your Rules list and select
the option for other rules to not execute?

The problem with forward as attachment is that if someone has sent me an
email with hundreds of email addresses visible, I hate to forward those...
You know.. Spam magnets. But today I was able to forward one with images by
selecting NOTHING in the page. Just weird and inconsistent.

Quit and restarted Ent and the rules started working again... Go figure? !
