Thanks Michael, I will do just that - I guess system managers check the Mercury support forum more frequently than the Pegasus one. I was wearing my blinkers and thinking it was just a Pegasus issue.

<quote>Try it with the window un-maximized and check that the option to save the desktop state between sessions is selected. (Tools | Options | Basic Settings).</quote>

I've checked the dekstop-state.

Having this window floating has worked - but only in the 'New Mail'-Folder [:(]

But what I've found (and this is IMHO strange and unusual behavior):

Pegasus seems to store the defaults, but not applying them!

When opening another folder there are the same (old small) sizes, but then 'Folder/…/Apply default…' will give my sizes [:)]

I really thought 'default' means 'do it when not otherwise stated' and not 'do it when asked for' [;)]

It seems that layouts are stuck to windows and not to folders as I thought - maybe a feature to come??.

Hi Thomas Thanks for the suggestion

But  the system font is already on normal, no large or extra large is selected.

thanks

Solved it.

 By comparing the current vs a backup file tree (I use Araxis Merge, FWIW) I discovered all differences. Fortunately, the key change was not too far from the top of the list.

In the pmail.ini file, there's a line containing the Font to use for the Folder window. The backed up copy references a font not yet available on my rebuilt machine.

The new copy of pmail.ini has:

* Font name= a bunch of garbage characters

* Font size and style = -8751 (yes, a huge not-quite-random negative number)

This can be almost-fixed simply by choosing a different font with the font-picker tool in Pegasus Mail. Unfortunately the bogus style "number" can't be fixed without hand-editing pmail.ini

 I'm reporting this as a bug to the Testers list...

Thank you Did not see anything out of the ordianary.

I went in and deleted all of the filters I had set up for the folder and then tried again.  It went into my inbox.  There must have been some filter set up that was transferring them to my deleted box.  There were too many to go through all of them so I'll just start all over with the filtering rules.

I had expected  (because apparently Thunderbird and the like can) that Pegasus also would be able to import OE DBX files [:(]  Really surprised that it can't.  Thanks anyway.

[quote user="gillardreid"]I realize the duplicate was created at reinstall and restore, now deleted. Makes no difference though. :-([/quote]

Check your setting on Tools => Options => Copies to self. Next copy all messages from the failing folder to a new one (different name), delete the old one and rename it to the previous name, try again (but you may have to adjust any filter rules involving this folder).

[quote user="AngelB"]Tomorrow I will try with the ~a and let you know[/quote]

If you ran the installer on the server I wonder why it wasn't there in the first place since Pegasus Mail starts the IERenderer installer which should do it for you. I'm almost sure it'll work this way.

[quote user="bitseeker"]Is it possible to use multiple lines as replacement with automatic formatting?[/quote]

Why don't you just try it and report back?

I realize that this is an old thread, but I just started having this problem after upgrading from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro and from Pegasus 4.71 to 4.72.572. HTML emails do not display, plain text format does.

 All suggestions as to how to fix this welcome!

 Thanks,

Steve

Happens regularly to me, with no apparent ill effect.

[quote user="idw"]I'll make another update available as soon as possible, thanks a lot for testing (that's exactly why I was asking for public testers)![/quote]

The fix is now .

After much hesitation on my part, I finally installed KernelEx on a Win98SE test box recently.

KernelEx ( http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/ ) is a compatibility layer to permit programs intended for Win2K and later to run on Win98 boxes. And then as part of seeing what it can do, I loaded Pegasus Mail 4.62, which announced as being incompatible with Win98 due to Microsoft restrictions on compilers. 

Everything seems to be running as smoothly as the PMail 4.51 is currently on my production Win98 box, so much so that I will put the combination on the production box at the next opportunity. 

Just thought you'd like to know.

Thanks, guys.

 You've given me a few things to try out, and I'll report back here when I've done that.

One point: The mailbox location on the old machine was NOT to default. I set up the mailbox on my E drive, not the default C drive. The files I copied over from the old machine did NOT include such files as the INI file, so, as I reported above, the INI file is showing the correct locations of mail and new mail. And the new mail files which I copied over from the old machine ARE showing up in the new mail pane on the new machine.

But I'll certainly run pmail.cfg now that I know how to access it on my 64bit system.

Ian T 

thank you ！

this is still too difficult to me to get it done. 

is there anyone who could provide a step-by-step method? thanks

[quote user="A01"]Are "Terminal" and "Fixedsys" similar ? The same thing ? Are they both fixed-width fonts ?[/quote]

Similar, not same but both fixed-pitch. And both are not aware of unicode-characters ... so don't use them. Courier New is a good choice for fixed pitch ... depends on OS. May be you have "OCR A" or "Lucida Sans Typewriter" or "Lucida Console" or "Consolas"

[quote]At any rate, what I want is to read and compose my E-mail in something that comes across as Ascii text, and not chosen fonts and so on. i.e., for me, E-mail should normally be, "Just the text, please"[/quote]

That's not the problem of fixed pitch font. If it's HTML and you choosed to see the most fancy or formated version (see options), you will see HTML-version (and if defined there: a special font/fontfamily), even if there is a simple textversion. Composing normal textmail is simple: enable all options for disabling formating. Your choice for fonts in Pegasus doesn't effect HTML-mails with defined fonts.

[quote user="ChefJohn"]I checked and the installed IE I had was 6.0.

I am running Win XP and so the latest IE I could download was IE 8.0.

This seems to have resolved the situation (and hopefully the display of HTML artifacts from one message being displayed in another).

Perhaps as part of the readme a note to indicated that IE is required?[/quote]

An would have fixed this as well. Oh, and if you wonder why this wasn't fixed before PM 4.62 came out: Because I didn't encounter it on my XP SP3 system with IE 6 installed. And with regard to the readme note: IE is part of the system, so how would this help? But aside from this, the What's new? section of Pegasus Mail's help file announces these changes ...

I have just resolved it myself - It was the variant that did it - Duh!...

Other than being annoying this doesn;t create a real problem, but I would rather my responses don't have the highlighting.

If he really means highlighted this is most probably a background color issue, and if so updating to should fix it (it was a TER/HTS rendering issue).
