Hi Stan,

I ran into problems with 8.5.1. The automatic update didn't work. After finishing the process, I got the message "Program cannot be opened".

Then I downloaded 8.5.1 manually. Then only attachments were sent, the mail itself didn't arrive.
I am still running OS X 10.10.5

After downgrading to 8.5.0 everything runs smoothly again.

Regards

Lutz
