Hi All,
I know you haven’t heard from me in a long time (life goes by quickly when you’re having fun!!).
This is just a quick update to say thanks for all the donations and that I have put them to good use purchasing an ADC Select membership so I can get an advance version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Once I get this installed I will begin testing WideMail 0.5.1 on Snow Leopard and hope to release a version that will work on both 10.5.7 and 10.6.0.
I am also trying to put aside some spare time to work on WideMail and implement some new features and squash some of the long standing bugs.
Cheers,
Dane

Hi everyone,
If you have uninstalled widemail and are missing your subject column but cannot retrieve it because a reinstall of widemail will crash mail you just need to trash the widemail preferences located at:
~/Library/Preferences/com.daneharnett.widemail.plist
This will allow you to reinstall widemail and run it once (it will crash again on 2nd launch), so you can re-enable the subject column and remove widemail again.
We are currently working on a solution to this problem however i believe the problem is in sparkle.framework which may mean we have to remove the auto-update mechanism until we can figure it out.
Cheers

It seems many users are having this problem, at this time I believe the problem lies in Sparkle.framework the auto-update mechanism.
Would anyone like to volunteer to help me test and diagnose this problem?
Hopefully we can have it fixed by v0.5.1
