WideMail

Hi Everyone,It seems my previous workaround post has confused some users.WideMail is currently NOT COMPATIBLE with Snow Leopard. The plugin will be disabled upon launching Mail.app.I am working hard trying to port WideMail to the Snow Leopard version of Mail.app and this is proving very challenging, I am moving forward slowly with the help of some very talented programmers but still have quite a way to go.Hopefully i will have something available soon.Cheers,Dane

I have been recieving a few emails from WideMail users who have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and have found that thier subject columns are remaining hidden.

As WideMail provides the ability to show/hide the subject column in order to rectify this situation you will have to manually edit the com.apple.mail.plist file located in ~/Library/Preferences/ (where ~ is your home directory).

QUIT Mail.app FIRST!

To edit the plist file you must use the Property List Editor application that comes installed with the Developer Tools.

You must edit keys within:

Root/TableColumns/

Located in this key are: drafts, normal, notes, outgoing, rss, smart.

Within each of these keys are a list of ids, the subject column id is “2″.

Inside each of the subject column ids change the value of “isVisible” to YES.

Save the plist file and quit Property List Editor.

Relaunch Mail.app and the subject column should now be visible.

If you have further problems please note them in the comments below.

Cheers,

Dane
