Pegasus Mail & Mercury

As reported earlier in this thread the program Showhelp is used to display content of the *.phc files. On my Win 10 64-bit I cannot double click on the Help PHC file but using Showhelp fixes  the whole Help file for Pegasus Mail, including indexing etc. Drop Phc file onto Showhelp in Windows Explorer. I would be interested to hear if others ...

I have just tested my use of S tag to demonstrate <s>strikethrough</s>  hope this works too

Use the S Html tag  as the STRIKE Html tag in Html 4 is not supported in Html 5.  See STRIKE demo in: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_strike.asp and use of S tag in: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_s.asp Martin

Hi Joerg,        Did you notice the article in the Pegasus Mail FAQ quorum regarding Winhlp32.  It will avoid the stupid link back to Microsoft when invoking HELP files. Martin

The help files are effectively read-only. The only thing that might happen is if the server gets multiple requests at the same time, it will handle any queueing of the fetching of the pages. Martin

Nothing special about help files, just rename the English Bearhtml help, ie bearhlp-en.htm to  bearhlp-de.htm  Same for IERenderer  rename  BearHlpIE-En.htm to BearHlpIE-De.htm Just remember to rename them back to English version when the German version is released  The main Pegasus Mail help file is English only at ...
