I had a user call the Help Desk yesterday, after losing her new messages
due to a TechMail (2.2) crash. After looking at it a bit, it seems
there is indeed a bug. It goes like this:
1) Open techmail.
2) Print a mail message.
3) Change your default printer with the chooser.
4) When you close the chooser, it will remind you to choose Page Setup
in open applications. If you do choose Page Setup in TechMail, it will
crash.
(Don't try this with an un-saved mailbox open :-)
The above procedure will crash TechMail on my Quadra 700 every time.
The same procedure on Rita's IIvx crashes the whole machine.
Any chance of some minor development time on this? This is not the only
serious TM bug.
