Bearhtml 4.6.9.4 update available

irelam — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:27:52 GMT

Bearhtml 4.6.9.4 is a minor update to handle security certificates that are obsolete or corrupted, when using the https protocol to access website contents. Migrating to this release should reduce the number of gray boxes or yellow exclamation point images. In some cases this would cause a blank display rather than contents.

Please contact me with any concerns etc at irelam@telus.net

BearHTML - ancient image download/display bug - triggered by POP3 download

Geo — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:51:22 GMT

This one has been bugging me for years: BearHTML stops downloading images after *any* POP3 download. (FYI, my Pmail is set to "display remote images manually".)

Steps to reproduce:

- start Pmail

- click to download your emails via POP3

- open *any* HTML message (for which you have not downloaded images yet), and bring up the context-menu

- click "Show pictures (HTML only)"

What happens: the Pmail statusbar shows the process of enumerating images to download - but everything happens in a flash, and no image gets actually downloaded.

Opening *any* other HTML message and trying to display pictures results in the same failure. Pmail acts like doing it - but it does not download anything.

To get Pmail to download images for HTML messages again it is necessary to *restart* Pmail. Image downloading will work after restart, right until the first POP3 download, after which images will fail to download again.

Hint: shockingly for me, the short-lived version 4.6.9.0 - to which I have no longer access - did *not* exhibit this problem, when I tried it before Christmas. One would think, the two problems, broken CSS-support, and problem with image downloads may well be related.

BearHTML 4.6.8.17 (?) breaks CSS support

Geo — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 12:41:25 GMT

On upgrading version 4.6.8.2 to 4.6.9, I found that 4.6.9 disregards CSS formatting by default, *regardless* of the "wantcss" setting in bearthtml.ini. I would have to switch CSS support on manually (Ctrl-Shift-R) after opening Pmail every time for CSS to apply.

On scanning through BearHTML history, I downloaded and installed 4.6.8.16 from the forum, and found that it does not exhibit this problem: CSS is supported by default with the same ini file and setting (wantcss=yes).

BTW, Martin, thanks a lot for the great work you do!

Re: Customised toolbar

jdunham — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 18:56:16 GMT

I think I've decided to go back to the big, bad Bear, too. I also notice that it seems to work better in 4.61 than it did in 4.51. IERenderer seems to work better yet, but a daily e-mail message I receive throws an error message every time when I use IE, and displays just fine if I use Bear. I wouldn't mind that TOO much, if it weren't for the difficult, and probably unavoidable, process for changing back and forth, requiring that everything I'm working on be shut down first.

In case it's useful, the error that I get from this particular daily e-mail message is:

The website declined to show this webpage

HTTP 403

Most likely causes:

This website requires you to log in.

What you can try:

Go back to the previous page.

Go back to the previous page. Go back to the previous page.

Selective New HTML mails not opening with double-click.

radhx — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 15:36:47 GMT

Hi,

I have installed Pegasus Mail 4.52 on WinXP Pro SP2 machine + AVG Free Anti-virus 2011 + Comodo Firewall 2011.

I can open all plain text mails with a double-click, but same is not applicable for some of the HTML mails.

This does not apply to all HTML mails as I can open a few with the double-click.

This was working fine one week back when I first installed Pegasus Mail.

I was trying out "Display remote-linked graphics in messages" option and entered few email ids as the exception for which I was getting gray boxes instead of pictures in my mail. That's when this issue started.

Now I have removed all the exceptions for remote-linked graphics, but still I can not open mails from some of those email ids by double clicking them.

When I double click such a mail, the following running counters ( the count changes with the mails) are displayed at left bottom in the status bar:

"Cache-hits:12 Download: 0 Total: 12"

How to rectify this issue?

Thanks & Regards,

Rad.

PS:

I can open these mails by clicking on the attachment button on the message ribbon and then switching to message body.

This marks the mail as viewed and moves it to the Main folder, but still I can not open these mails in Main folder by double clicking on them.

IE Control installation question

edg — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:29:12 GMT

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the extensions forum...

In any case, my question is in regards to installing the IE Control replacement for the BearHtml renderer.

Our Office setup has the Pegasus mail binaries installed in a common shared folder on the network, with individual users having their mail message (and .ini's etc) files in their own private folder elsewhere.

My question is in regards to installing this control. If I do so, will it automatically replace bearhtml and configure the IE control for all users? Or is there a way to configure it to be enabled on a per user basis?

Bearhtml 4.6.9 available

A new version of Bearhtml is now available in the Downloads area of this community. It has several updates including a solution for the empty box characters produced by MS Outlook. It can be downloaded from:

HTML Renderer Replacement (formerly IEControl, now IERenderer)

idw — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:36:14 GMT

This is the public announcement of a new HTML renderer for replacing the current one ("BearHtml") for those of you feeling comfortable enough for using an Internet Explorer based version. As I know it will be very controversial here are my reasons for developing such a tool:

The current renderer has lots of limitations with regard to handling up-to-date HTML sources including crashes.
The complexity of HTML makes is almost impossible to keep up with current developments for non-corporate developers.
Internet Explorer comes with Windows and I'm far more familiar with its development interface than with any other browser engine's.
Nevertheless it might be possible that there'll be WebKit (Safari, Chrome) or Gecko (Mozilla, Firefox) based renderers in the future as well.
I've taken care to enable the most secure options available with IE's browser engine by default and add most of the features provided by BearHtml.

Please note that this replacement comes with an installer which creates a backup of the current renderer that can even be used alternatively if you'd want to switch back and forth between the current and the new renderer. Uninstalling the new renderer will restore the previous state, but you need to take care if updating Pegasus Mail or BearHtml as this will overwrite the IE Control installation so you would need to reinstall it afterwards.

It also implements a user interface including a toolbar button and a menu (see screenshot below) which enable you to access optional settings and help resources without having to memorize certain keyboard shortcuts. As can be seen by its version history on the download page it already underwent lots of testing, fixing and enhancements, but as only a small number of testers was involved there might still be issues to solve which should be reported to this forum.

PS: This renderer cannot be installed on any Windows 9x (up to ME) system or NT based sytems prior to Windows 2000 / XP with at least Internet Explorer 6!
