It worked for me to put it in my Users folder/Library/Services folder.
Have you checked to see if it successfully arrived there?

Another way to "save as" is to shift>option>save as export. But, it dies not work in TextEdit but other word type applications.

You're correct. I missed that sentence.

Do you want to reconsider that comment in view of the question (above) that I was answering?

Thank you Jurgen. Actually my goal is to delete completely the Windows software.
The friend who gave me the computer doesn't even remember his own password to get into the Windows Parallels, let alone have any of the license info so I was hoping that when I do the clean install I will be able to get rid of Windows.
It looks like a clean install will accomplish this!
Thanks again.

If it is a 2008 iMac, it will take back to some version of 10.5.

Yes - that was my plan. I wasn't sure if this machine would "accept" 10.6.8 since it came with 10.7.x.

It seems to have only one partition.

Don't stop commenting on the OS, and don't stop sending in feedback.
I don't know understand what you mean by translucent and glow. What you are describing after the tweak is what I have running plain vanilla OS 10.7.4.
My settings, icon size towards small, magnification off, location bottom, hide Dock, show indicator lights for open applications.
As far as "someone's concept of 'cool' ", I think the cartoon leather look is a joke. Or someone lost a bet and the users are the ones who have to pay for the lost bet. If they want to go retro, bring back the 3rd party theme or skin that looked like an architectural drawing from System 7.

Basically, I think some functionality has been sacrificed for someone's concept of "cool" or "aesthetics." I first noticed it way back when they provided the translucent, shiny Dock with the "glow" to show which apps were active. It replaced the old simple Dock. I had to train my eyes to see what was active, sometimes having to distinguish the "glow" from the fancy icons some apps put there with "glow" effects of their own.
I have used Lion Tweaks to show the 2D Dock with at least nice sharp white dots under the active items, which is an improvement. But Apple's preference was for glossy-but-less-functional. That's what I'm talking about.

Re: Phantom Mail messages in Trash

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't use threading. Good idea though.
If I put other messages into the trash and delete the trash, the others all go but the phantoms return.
Sometimes two, or five or even eleven. Just the header, no message, all for the same date.
I have rebuilt the database, I have used delete mailbox routine, I have tried putting them into the Junk box then deleting.
They are not apparently causing any problem, I just get paranoid that something like this is a sign of something else going wrong!
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks

This is just a wild guess, but I wonder if it is possibly related to the issue people have with threaded emails in iOS5 on their iPhones. The solution there is to turn off threading.
For example: <https://discussions.apple.com/ >thread/2504948? start=0&tstart= 0
If you have your Mail set to view as Conversations (in the View menu), I wonder if turning that off might let you delete these phantoms?
