Mail Issue (just upgraded to 10.6.8)

Hi,
the problem is : the upgrade of Mail (4.5 to 4.6) failed.
To check this, select Mail 4.6 in your Applications folder, Cmd + i (get infos).
If the size is 8,1 Mo (instead of 31,5 Mo), trash this file.
(it's the Mail update only, not Mail itself).
Then, check that Mail 4.5 is still here, in the /Applications folder and did not get renamed.
(if it is nowhere, see last line).
If yes, apply this update : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
(this is the update that also updates Mail from 4.5 to 4.6)
After applying the update, Mail will be in 4.6 version, weigh 31.5 Mo, and will work.
If you fail, I will give you a link to Mail 4.6 which I have uploaded.

Hi,
so it's not the problem I have described.
(that many people had after that security update that turned Mail 4.5 to 4.6)
Your Mail actually got updated, but I don't understand the 77,5 MB size : mine is 37,3 MB (4.6 version on Snow Leopard 10.6.8).
Anyway, I have uploaded Mail 4.6 for you, so feel free to use it.

Displaying Mail Content Issue
Ok..now I have encountered another mail issue I can't seem to find out how to fix it. While using the touchpad, I screwed up how the mail looks. When one of the individual incoming mails is selected, the body of the message doesn't show anymore - I have to click on it twice for the content to show.
Any words of wisdom out there?
