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

Hi Everyone,

This is just a quick post in response to the bug reports about the missing subject column after uninstalling the plugin.
By default mail DOES NOT allow you to hide the subject column, WideMail adds this ability because it is convienient to hide the column when using the “WideMail Column” if you hide the subject column and then uninstall the plugin you will not be able to retrieve the subject column via right clicking the table header row.

You must reinstall the plugin and then right click the message list table header row and unhide the subject column for each of the mailboxes that you have hidden it in.

You can then uninstall the plugin if you so wish.

On a brighter note: a new release is being prepared that fixes some bugs that have been reported and hopefully it will keep the users from uninstalling the plugin.

Cheers,

Dane
