The 2.8.3 version of MacSOUP is available.

This is a bugfix release, it fixes the following problems:

- Worked around a possible crash on startup with certain kinds of
Address Book corruption.
- With very large Address Books, typing in the address fields of an
email editor window was very sluggish.
- The Services menu now works in Snow Leopard.
- MacSOUP's scripting dictionary can be opened again with the
AppleScript editor in Leopard.
- Minor fixes.


Available from:

<http://www.haller-berlin.de/macsoup/>


(Please note that the home of MacSOUP has changed; the old web-site (at
http://home.snafu.de/stk/) is going to be closed.)

Does it? It looks pretty similar to how it did in 2.8.2 here (I looked
before I upgraded). Or is it that I have no applicable services?

Any thoughts on a completely new version, or is time still not there?

Maybe they are all turned off on your machine. Choose "Service
Preferences" from the Services menu to find out.

It appears services are implimented differently in SL than before, where
you would see them all regardless. Guess I don't use them often!

Yep, all working fine, Sorry about that!

I'd _kill_ for an updated MacSOUP. Hell - it could even be a _killer_
mailing list focused email client if only it was modernised a little. I
used to use it that way right up till about a year ago, then I had to
give up and use Apple Mail for everything email.

Apple Mail _sucks_ compared to MacSOUP's awesome threading, graphical
thread tree, etc. It is absurb to my mind that MacSOUP is a better plain
text email client than Mail :-(
