Filed PDFs now look like the email actually looked

What’s new

Filed PDFs now look like the email actually looked. Background colors print at last — colored banners, shaded table rows, and buttons no longer vanish, and white-on-color text is no longer invisible white-on-white in the record.
Wide emails keep every column. A fixed-width table wider than the page (ledgers, rent schedules) used to be cut off at the right margin — amounts simply missing from the record. Wide emails now shrink to fit the page, like printing from a browser: smaller type, nothing lost, and still crisp when you zoom in.
Nothing between attachments is dropped any more. An email written as text, then a photo, then more text used to keep only the first text run in the PDF. Every run now appears, in order.
Forwarded emails file as readable PDFs. An email forwarded as an attachment used to land in the matter folder as a raw .eml file most previews can't open. It now files as a fully rendered PDF named after its subject, with the forwarded email's own attachments saved beside it.
The PDF now documents its own filing. Each record lists the attachments filed with it, carries the thread references that link a reply to the email it answered, and discloses in fine print if any part of the message couldn't be decoded cleanly.
Fewer mangled characters. The € sign and curly quotes survive mislabeled encodings, and a message with a slightly corrupted transfer encoding now decodes to its real text instead of a page of base64 gibberish.

Requires macOS 26.0 or later. The app and disk image are signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
