Sorry--I'll start a new thread.

Good catch!  And thanks for reporting your findings back to the forum.

>>Setting the "wantcss" flag to "yes" solved the problem. <<

I agree. I have changed in the ini file from "wantcss=no" to "wantcss=yes" about 2 years ago and since then this problem never was visible.

For test I have changed to "no" and then many messages have again this problem. So set "wantcss=yes" was the better decision.

Add the following line to the end of Filetype.pm in your Pegasus Mail executables directory (eg c:\pmail)

MS-Word DOCX,0,S,0,PK

See wqriteup at beginning of this file for explanation of the variuos fields

Thanks, Michael. This is the issue I tried to describe. I'm still happily running version 4.62 though, including Vincent's hard to close extension. Oh, and I know including screenshots is helpful in such cases, but also a bit of a hassle :-)

Cheers!

I sometimes receive emails with addresses in the form of something like: "JohnnyD"<JohnD@madeup.com>

Pegasus can use these just fine in replies/forwards.  Can I set Pegasus to GENERATE that format of address?  I only see how to choose EITHER address or alias.

[/quote]

You can enter the addresses in the format as described above and choose the option "enter address instead of aliases", then this expression appears in both the message editor and the message received by the addressee (and the copy to self as well).

If your message come back again or if you have the problem again in the future be sure to check the companion *.pnx files of same filename. There should also be no *.pnx without another companion file of same name,  different extension.

Thanks Michael.  I'm sorry I missed that.  My eyes were just too fast.

Hikes! That was easy... Thanks!

I feel kind of dumb... Do you know since when this feature is available in Pegasus?

Pegasus was in its 1.something when I got addicted to it and I didn't know that... I even go in the file menu for reviewing queued messages without noticing anything else. Oh well.

[quote user="SvenH"]According to the author the problem is caused by the MDI implementaton of Microsoft Windows.[/quote]

I'm trying to provide my workaround with IERenderer disabled as well.

[quote user="peggy"]Have the user changed the cache path try to use the user path. Is there an user cache path on the same drive where Pmail / IERenderer is runing and and only the drive letter does not match, try to use this cache path. Is this cache path not available or not read/write enabled go on like it is. (tries to retrieve the APPDATA path of the active user....)[/quote]

Might work ...

[quote user="Jerry Wise"]

If you highlight the entire address and right click you do get a context menu. If you just right click the underlined portion of address and do what it says and open in browser don't you get a new mail message preaddressed? If you just double click on the underlined address don't you get a new mail message preaddressed? [/quote]

This even works if you simply click at any place in the yellow field. Apart from that there was no criticism in my statement, I simply stated that it works differently than before. Likewise, I did not say that there is no way to handle it in the new manner.

[quote user="Jerry Wise"]

With a new TER used and dirrerent .dll I would expect some differences between 4.61 and 4.62. [/quote]

Why this expectation? It used to work perfectly before and I do not see any reason why such functionality should be limited in newer versions.

"IOW: Yes, it's expected to not close if you return 1 in response

to WM_FM_CLOSE. My suggestion would be to post a WM_CLOSE message (or

issue a PostQuitMessage() call?) to hWndPmail after resetting the

WndProc which would allow Pegasus Mail to finish the WM_FM_CLOSE

processing after resetting the WndProc and then start over with closing

the main window."

That was very nearly my workaround.  After restoring the original window process (and before returning 1 from WM_FM_CLOSE) I PostMessage(hWndPmail, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE, 0) .

Thanks.

I have big problems (V4.62 / Win XP) when I forward a message with the option: "Forwarding with editing". Lots of messages have problems. In many cases parts of the text are out of the visible area and / or the message formated, that you can not read it any more. The original messages are always shown well without any problems (with IERender and bearHTML)

I've done some limited experimenting with similar HTML messages and it appears that the message remains intact after forwarding with editing even though PMail's editor displays it badly. After adding some text comments at the beginning, I forwarded the messages to myself. After making the POP3 and SMTP round trip, the messages were quite legible in PMail's reader ( both BearHtml and IERenderer). We may be able to successfully forward with editing even though the messgage looks quite 'gruesome' in the editor. Forwarding with the original message as an attachment may be another option.

Hopefully, the development folks will be able to find a better resolution but it may take some time.

That address has not changed as far as I know.

Start with settings in Tools, Internet options, Receiving, and Edit. Help shows:

Delete mail from host once it has been successfully retrieved  If you check this box, Pegasus Mail will delete the host's copy of each mail message it successfully downloads, which will prevent it from being presented to you again the next time you retrieve mail. Leaving this box unchecked tells Pegasus Mail to leave the mail on the host even if successfully downloaded. Mail left on the server will be retrieved every time you download mail. 

That did the trick.  Thanks

Copied entire subdirectory over to a different thumb drive (on a good machine away from home)

Came home, plugged in the *COPIED* version; i.e., on the different thumb drive.

Ran Pegasus.

Works fine.

Same thing, apparently, with OpenOffice.Org app.

A friend and Expert in bugs and support has suggested that I use ChkDsk

I'm wondering how much effort I want to put into this.

Obvious solution appears to be

1. Go to other machine
2. Make mirror copy of thumb drive
3. Reformat misbehaving drive
4. Put stuff back on it
5. Use it again

I still wonder what is causing this. Zero clue

Pretty obvious to me that this is something in hardware, or some strange-o in the OS

Whatever, I can use Pegasus anywhere now; which is what I've been after for weeks and months.

Someday, most [or all] apps will be like this; where you can run them from your own tiny storage gizmo. I really like this way better

when I check host for new mail it says (at bottom) "connecting to outgoing.verizon.net"

Can't figure what's wrong

[/quote]

Looks like you have the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) servers in the wrong definitions.

When you check for new mail you should be connecting to the POP3 server "incoming.verizon.net".
