MaxBulk Mailer crashes when text pasted into message field

Exactly.

Here's what I did to correct it. Cut and paste from the email to Word. Save Word. Reset the type to another font. Save. Cut and paste into MaxBulk Mailer. That seemed to work.

Otherwise, with a cut and paste directly from Entourage, MaxBulk Mailer crashed. Always.

A faster solution is to use TextEdit. Copy/paste from Entourage to TextEdit then again from TextEdit to MaxBulk Mailer.

I tried TextEdi and it crashed again. That's when I posted the "help." Then I figured Word would do more filtering with whatever code was messing with it and it worked.

Someone in our publicity department has the same problem (I'm the IT Guy).

Problem doesn't occur as frequently from TextEdit as from entourage (and occurs more frequently when copying text containing html or font styling), but still enough to render the program unusable to the end user.

Lunchtime today I'm going to try all the standard fixes as detailed on
http://www.maxprog.com/site/support/us/ ... xbulk.html

Which tbh is what I was going to do anyway :/

Will report back and let you know if it worked and if so what specifically fixed it.

OK, nothing works it seems - only reliable workaround is choosing 'Save As' in entourage, choosing to save it as simple text, then opening that saved document in textedit and copying from their (as opposed to copying in to textedit and copying out again)

I suppose the fixes I referenced earlier must be out of date though as the preferences files have either completely changed or just been renamed - i deleted the maxprog/preferences and the com.maxprog plist in place.

Fix this issue for us and we'll be buying another three copies at least, but the reliability is key to us!

This worked fine until yesterday and there have been no changes to the computer - a new iMac running 10.5.6 (since upgraded to 10.5.7 to no avail - was running 6.3 when it started crashing, having upgraded to 6.5 the problem continues.)
