Martin forwarded your problem message to me and I did some testing with IERenderer: It turns out that it takes extremely long in rendering this message, and trying to display it in IE itself shows the same delay (as well as Opera, Firefox doesn't do so). The culprit is the broken kind of image URLs used in this message (starting with a double slash) which needs to be fixed by whoever creates these messages in the first place. I've implemented a workaround (still failing to display the images, though) for now but this shouldn't be the final solution since we can only make guesses about what the originator wanted to code, and I'm not willing to double-guess for security reasons ...

"bfluet,"

 I have read that about -roam and understand it quite well, just @ 72.8 years of age the mind is not with me most of the time, what I am saying is when copying the "PMail.cfg" file over to the 'Micro SD' card "I" had neglected to edit that file and change to DRIVE letter from my USB to the card.  I went back through the operation that was supposed to have been done and thought I had done, WRONG!, it has been done now though.  Yes, I had all entries correct in the Icon (link) file to run Pegasus because my mail finally came down because of another ERROR I had made in setting up the connection to the server.  When that was discovered and my mail made a showing caused me think, "then this other problem could be very simple," "retrace your steps, DUMMY!!!"  Which I had just done before coming here to check on this DUMB mistaken request for an explanation.

 Yes, when I make an error or mistake I admit my error or mistake.  I take the blame for some things that go wrong and credit for those that do work well, the later one is the smallest list.  I am proud but very honest and will admit when needed.

 A very large Thank YOU!! for this HELP that is very well put and do not shy away from using the HELP file that came with Pegasus it is well written.  Just I have a problem in locating the exact point for the problem I am facing.  I read over some other parts and FORGET what I was originally looking for, side tracked, and then spend maybe 1 or 2 days before getting back to my original trouble.  So your quoting of the HELP File is good for me and maybe another out here that is has the same experience.

Thanks for the info.....I think I'll follow your advice!

I should have worded that a bit differently, with all my other problems that have driven me nuts my mind is just racing in many different directions.  Should have said, "which has priority for check mail?"  That would be the one measured in 'seconds', most often the other would be not very much traffic less often.

Not thinking very clearly yet, need to get back into the swing of things.

[quote user="sjmullock"]Are you saying it would be better to send all this information to "beta-reports..." rather than post here? Having asked the question here, should I also send the email off to "beta-reports.."? I didn't think to do this largely because I didn't think I was using a beta version.[/quote]

This account is just for any test results that might be helpful in further development of Pegasus Mail, but it's not a support account in general.

Under Tools go to Internet Options to setup for receive and send servers.

At the bottom of the General page click on the Pegasus Setup Wizard for easy setup.

Thanks for your patience, Jerry.  I added -ms to the end of both of the target lines, and now it works!

Jerry,

Your method is the best of course will fix it no matter what. The method I suggested comes in handy as a first step that is non destructive, can be done within the application.

Glad it was able to help. 

Jerry

Its exactly what I needed - Thanks

Reuven

Thanks Jerry. As soon as I read your reply, I had a dim memory of asking the same question some years ago. I have added the information to my "doing back ups and restoring" document. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Martin

Thanks for feedback.  Bearhtml does not support IFrame, but is it fetching remote graphic files, and showing a counter of downloads cmpleted?

[quote user="arman29"]Hello, I just finish the download of pegasus v.4.52 at computer yet when I'm about to find it on my files I can't open it. I'm wondering is it because my computer is 64 bits?
[/quote]

The latest version is 4.63 - available from this site.

It does run on 64-bit versions of Windows, but search this forum for hints on 64-bit use.

Pls see my post at end of Index Corruption Thread

Any Perl Help appreciated

TY ALL - I think I will start with the blacklist whitelist and then if I turn out to have a problem with whitelisted people sending me very much unwanted mail I can address that issue with each one individually. For example a very nice lady on my contact list got her email hacked and I got an unwanted MLM solicitation. I may also have to go with something like the suggested bayesian filter. I thought PM had one of those and I thought I was using it.

 Anyway PM is a nice program even if it is very complicated but there is no question in my mind that this board is PM's best feature. This board is as helpful with PM as my tax pro bulletin boards are to me in business. 

OK. From what I've been reading, and from your answer, port 587 is "more likely" to work, just because some ISPs might block port 25. For now, I'll keep port 25, since it is working correctly in my case.

This thread is certainly useful for situations like mine (Pegasus and hotmail). I hope this thread is useful for other users too.

Thank you very much for your answers.

You might want to review Help, Message formatting and Margin section again. Set window with does affect and limit available line length as does set size of Editor font also.

Message width  This setting controls how wide the column of text you type in your message should be. The default setting is 145mm or 5.71 inches, based on a typeface of Arial 10 point. This will result in a column of text approximately 76 characters wide, which should be readable by anyone. If you increase the size of your typeface, you may also need to increase the message width, since otherwise your lines will become shorter and shorter. Similarly, if you use a smaller typeface, you should make the message width narrower to keep the lines within a reasonable length. Experiment with these settings until you find a message width that youfind comfortable and which produces messages your correspondents have no trouble reading. As a general rule of thumb, you should choose settings that result in the lines in your message being between 70 and 80 characters long.

Also refer to the section earlier about side effects of disabling  all text formatting which imposes other restrictions when used.

Why not have a customizable tool bar for the Preview?  Plus the Icon bar for Pegasus Mail? Those Icons you use to ask for donations or other special needs could be made un-touchable and always be at one end or the other or seperate them for both ends.

 Have also discovered the 'Arial Black' font is selectable for all three panes of PMail and sizable to make them easier to see and use, readable.

Thank you, Guy, was not aware as to what that was about, my guess was incorrect, or maybe 'hope?'

Yes, I do use the three panel Preview.  Will check out what you suggest.  Have also noted when opening the Tools/Options for reviewing the settings and various other features, there are not any of those three little boxes for expanding, iconizing, nor closing.  Clicking on that window or dragging and dropping it still will not produce those controls, even double clicking not work.

WOW!  What reading and understanding will do for you if it just would happen.  I have been looking in the PMail Preferences and settings for that Window you referenced, MenuBar/Window is where it is, just never looked up above the Icon Bar. DUA! Dummy!  That is a fantastic feature, READ the screen, not just what you want.  DA!! BAG! 

One last parting question, why when the Pegasus Icon is PINNED to the task bar the ICON for the open program is separate (?)  instead of combining the PINNED and the open Program? 

Greetings again,

Select "Tools/Options/Incoming Messages/Message Reader/Help there is a selection for Reading Mail with 'See also' where there are three selctions, second one is, "Message Reader Tutorial" which brings up a screen as follows:

"Introduction to the Pegasus Mail Message Reader

This tutorial describes the basic functionality of the Pegasus Mail message reader.
Click on each of the numbers for a description of that item - we recommend that
you click on the numbers in order the first time you use this tutorial.



You can click the tabs in the graphic above to switch the focus of this tutorial
to the description of that page.

Remember, you can always get help in Pegasus Mail by pressing the F1 key".
 

On the third line in the above quotation from the HELP file, "Click on each of the numbers for a description . . " there are not any numbers to click.  What you see is all that shows within that part of the HELP file reference to a tutorial that cannot be accessed.  Pressing F1 just takes you to the next selection in the left panel of the open HELP file which is Message Reader Options.

 Or again am I missing some part of the instructions?

bfluet:

Excuse me for not getting back to this any sooner.  Have been working on getting my system back in normal operation.  Had lost the function of the laptop keyboard plus a wireless Microsoft Keyboard and mouse.  Took several days because the only way to enter any verbiage to request assistance or any other operation on the laptop.  One character at a time by clickiing the mouse, marble mouse wired, not an option you would like to be tied to especially on a forum.  That has been cleared, no thanks to Microsoft's Tech Support by telly nor even the web.  Both advised me to purchase a newer keyboard.  Did not do that, I fixed it myself.

That 'tattle-tale' window just was taking a little more time than I thought it should, I guess.  There have been some occasions where it just would not go away so clicked on it to close.  Plus friends and family have had other problems with their computers that required some attention.  I am a troubleshooter', 'analyst', repairer of all sorts of problems plus an experimenter thrown in as an after thought.

Thank you for shedding some lite on that subject
