Thanks, Michael. I solved this by copying the messages to a new folder as you suggested...seems I was making it more difficult than I needed to!

My docx-files are also shown as "zip" when attached but transmissions works as it should. My guess is that your transmission problems has nothing to do with the "zip" aspect... JonR

Hi!

I couldn't find a bug report forum, so I will write it here.

Instead of repeating myself, please find all information on the bug on this thread:

PS: Why the H... do I suddently have to insert html-tags to start a new line or paragraph instead of just pressing 'Enter'??

ADDITION:

Sorry for this extra thread on the issue. The admin is welcome to remove it...! I just tried deleting it without luck.

[quote user="Flurmy"]By the way, and please don't laugh too loud :-), the (never used by me as browser) explorer is version 6.0, running on Win2000.[/quote]

I'm not surprised, and this is actually what causes the issue to appear, but it's been fixed in more recent versions of IERenderer, hence an update should help. BTW: I'm not using IE either as my default browser ...

A couple of ways to go but they all require you to move the messages out of the mail directory.  In any case it is going to take a long time to process 7000 good messages so give it some time to do it's thing first by walking away from the mail system for awhile.  Try either of the following, maybe both.  

1.    Move all large CNM files out and try again.  I suspect the message taking a long time to process is really big so start with the ones over 1 MByte.  

2.    Remove all 7000 messages and then start putting them back a few hundred at a time starting from the smallest to the largest.  Let Pegasus Mail fully process all the mail in the new mail directory and then move it all to a folder before putting in a new batch.

 Hi!

Thanks for the input, but have you read the warning on the "command line options" help page:

-MS (no parameter)
Start multiple sessions of Pegasus Mail. Use this switch if you want a new copy of Pegasus Mail to start up when the program is run, instead of control simply being transferred to any copy that might currently be running on your system. This switch is usually only useful when combined with the -I or -U switch to specify a user. WARNING!!  This switch DOES NOT allow you to run two copies of Pegasus Mail that simultaneously access the same mailbox: all running copies of Pegasus Mail on the system must be accessing different mailboxes. If you ignore this warning and allow two copies of Pegasus Mail to access the same mailbox at the same time, then you will almost certainly end up with loss of data.

I have made a screen shot, so you can see what I mean, but since this forum does not allow larger than 64KB, I have had to crop it.

The issue ist the fileytpe-Checkbox below the filename-field. When (as seen in the screenshot) 'All Files' is selected, you have to provide the full name (eg. with extension). If another special fileytpye is shown, the extension would be appended if not already present (with the seemingly curious, but in final conclusion logical result, that you when you see eg. 'Text files (*.txt)' you cannot save a file 'Hugo.TXT.TXT').

What kind of filetypes are checkable in this combo-box decides the creater of this box - Pegasus in fact. But Pegasus cannot know what kind of attachment you want to send - therefore it set 'All Files'.

If you just select an existing file Windows will know about that's filetype and showing it or not depending on it's own settings as posted, and therefore just selecting/clicking/enter will give you the file with extension. But if you manually enter a name whether Windows nor Pegasus will know what extension you mean else you do supply it too and therefore use the pure name without extension.

In that special event I thing Pegasus could guess the filetype (you've selected the attachement out of your mail) and could offer this extension selected as default, but should offer 'All Types' too (are you sure that EVERY attachment you get has the CORRECT extension??).

Hope this will clarify all [:)]

Thanks Martin, much appreciated.

I use a number of their apps daily. I note that they have a very rigid formula, within which Pegasus Mail might not easily fit.

I'd suggest however that someone try update the entry at http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=422

• First of all ensure you're using since it might already fix your issue(s). Additionally it may help to check for the most recent versions of the built-in HTML renderers: IERenderer and BearHtml. To retrieve the installed versions of any of the above check the following locations: Pegasus Mail's version information is displayed at the bottom of its About screen accessible via its Help menu. IERenderer provides a similar About screen accessible via its toolbar button (usually the rightmost one on top of Pegasus Mail's main window). BearHtml provides its version information only after disabling IERenderer on its button menu, loading an HTML message into reader or preview and pressing Shift + F1: It'll show up on Pegasus Mail's leftmost status bar section at the bottom of its main window.

• If none of the updates helps please start a forum search next for your issue using any of the following URLs: Crashes, hangs or freezes. If you already have an idea of what might be causing your issue you may want to do a more specific search like this one or that one. If you can't find any helpful suggestions this way you may want to post a new support request including the information from Pegasus Mail's Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info screen.

• It might also be helpful to provide more details to our beta-reports address about your special issue using the MiniDump extension. Please make sure to be using its most recent version as well, starting with version 2.5.7.0 it provides an update screen via Pegasus Mail's Tools => Extensions => MiniDump menu entry. You should allow its installer to create a Windows Start menu group for accessing its various command options and reading its ReadMe file specifying details about the way it works.

Thanks in advance ...

> As soon as I make the decision to have a 2nd USB device, then I don't have a single USB device.

Agreed, and that is why the make very small portable hard drives.  I got one USB disk drive, 110 GBytes, that I throw in my bag.  These are much more reliable the a typical USB stick and one of these days when the cost goes down I'll probably trade it in for a digital drive.

This place is for Pegasus discussion (and, incidentally, you guys are superb beyond description in that regard).

I'm cluttering up this Pegasus support forum with requests for help when the real problem is in the hardware.

My question; just where exactly are those other experts hanging out ?  I'd like to connect with experts in such things as...

• Hard drives
• Thumb drives
• BIOS settings
• Motherboards
• Video cards
• Printers
• Scanners

...and anything else on my computer that will eventually annoy me some day.

It would be nice if they had the same level of brains (for those topics) that the experts here have (for Pegasus topics). 

Suggestions are welcome.

There are probably one thousand technical forums on the internet.

I tried looking for myself.

Ha, ha, ha.

The "Search Engine Optimization" overdose problem has ruined the very function of those search engines before you ever get your first result. The "top" sites are the ones with advertisements that totally obliterate their own content (if there ever was any content in the first place).

Oh, the reason for all this ? That thumb drive just started acting weird again this morning.

Hey developers, experts, and beta testers.

Just noticed this; no clue if it's important, but it's at least suspicious.

Looks like the thumb drive was almost full.

I think these are the numbers...

• Capacity:        4,033,282,048 Bytes,        3.75 GB          (100%)
• Used Space:  3,957,342,208 Bytes,         3.68 GB          (98.12%)
• Free Space:       75,939,840 Bytes,         72.4 MB           (01.88%)
  

Thanks, Jerry

 > > Did you download the MS application I pointed you to in my previous answer?

> Is that really necessary?  I don't need Admin to have access to the mailbox.  

Yes if you are not going to be running WinXP as an admin user. Pegasus Mail is not going to be the only WinZP program where the normal non-admin user is going to have to have access to directories created by an admin user.

> Apparently pmail copied the messages when I "moved" the mailbox using Tools->Options->General settings->"Mailbox location".  

Yes this will work as long as the file and folder you copied were not admin created files where the non-admin user did not have all right to use.  This is only transferring the home mail directory, the new mail directory location did not change.

> Now I can view the messages, although I haven't been able to delete a message from the inbox and I haven't tried to write or download

Probably can't delete since the non-admin user did not have the delete rights to the files.

> Can I move the mailbox to User's documents folder, or is messing with permissions at the OS level the only way for a limited user to use
> pmail?

No you cannot.  You can move the HOME mail directory to this other location but the NEW mail directory need to stay where it is.  Either change the rights to give the non-admin user the rights of the admin user or change the rights to the directories and files to give the non-admin user read/write/create/etc rights.

>Internet Services ... should be set to to Always

 It seems you got it right.

Thank you.

N.B. No, defragging doesn't make any difference.

Glad to hear.

In the end I just reinstalled after a full clean out and then copied the entire Pmail folder and bingo! It worked.

Thanks for the help

[quote user="David H. Lipman"]CNM files ?  The t-online.de  Domain address ?[/quote]

CNM files are the files in your new mail directory (see Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info for paths) containing single downloaded new messages. And yes, the ...t-online.de address.
