Does anyone remember in DP4 under the services menu, there was a Mail submenu, which was especially useful for e-mailing webpages from omniweb. But, apple seems to have killed this in PB. If anyon knows how to turn that back on it would be great.

It's still there. Do you not get it? Do you have a Services menu at all?

There is an intermittent problem where sometimes the first time you bring it up the entries in the menu are disabled, but that fixes itself the second time you bring it up. Sounds like your problem is more serious though...

i don't get a mail submenu in OS X--i get 3 menus.

diisk copy
grab
text edit

that's it.....

when exactly does the "services" menu come up? it seems like random apps have it...

Right now, Services menu is available in Cocoa apps only.

As far as what items appear in there: This depends on your current selection (text or graphic or file or ...). If in a given app you have not yet selected any text, services that work on text (for instance, TextEdit's "Open File" or "Open Selection" or Mail's "Mail Selection", ...) will not not yet be enabled.

In your case sounds like Mail is not even being found as a valid service provider (it should normally appear under the same conditions TextEdit services appear).

Services are found by looking at various standard application locations --- Is Mail still in /Applications? Services are declared in the Info.plist file in the app package --- Has that changed by any chance in your Mail application package?
