If you double-click on the words 'Open message in web browser' it will open in your default browser without you having to make a choice.

(The same is true when you right-click on a link in the message.)

Now it is all clear.   If I had seen the March 2011 note on http://pmail.com/newsflash.htm I would have just disabled the IERenderer but then I probably never would have known a later working version of it was available and perhaps the discussion which ensued from my original post will be helpful for others seeking to understand what caused the problem and how to fix it.

As to releasing the IERenderer prior to the final version of IE9 being available, I would have probably done exactly the same thing in these circumstances (it worked with IE's release candidate) as I would think what are the odds Microsoft are going to change something that I rely on in my program at this late stage.   I think Michael should get a vote of thanks for his work developing the IERenderer and for his time spent discussing it on this board.

James Quigley suggested the IERenderer should have been an optional install, but since Bear is no longer maintained and since the IERenderer can be disabled anyway from the toolbar I am not sure that is necessary.   However, some kind of warning at the end of the install that the IERenderer may not be the final version due to the release of IE9 and, in case of problems or crashes on machines with IE9 installed, instructions on how to disable it temporarily from the Pegasus toolbar and a link to where to look for the latest IERenderer would have been very helpful.

However my guess would be we are the early adopters of IE9.   I only ever applied Vista’s critical updates to my machine and when first I tried to download IE9 I couldn’t as my machine was not up to date enough to run it.   That (plus I had a little extra time on my hands) gave me the incentive to download and install SP1 and SP2 then try again for IE9.   Probably lots of others like me but maybe can’t be bothered bringing their machines up to date so never will get IE9 and therefore never will have this problem.

Michael, the link you posted to Bear http://www.pbear.com/htmlviewers.html probably no longer contains the information it originally did.  It now seems to be descriptions of Delphi components they have developed for HTML display.

We did not misunderstand so much as you failed to mention that the text was not a recognised (and formatted) link.

I've just tested in Pegasus 4.61 and it worked fine for me but that was with a marked link in a plain-text message.

Can you please give us the following info which will help us to understand what your situation and try and re-create the problem:

• Which exact version of Pegasus are you using? You mention 4.0 but I really hope you're more up-to-date than that.
• Are you seeing this problem in plain-text as well as HTML messages?
• If these e-mail addresses are not active links, can you tell us whether there are ANY active links in the message?

This should get us started on sorting you out.

It is important that you have the latest version of IERenderer (2.4.2.1) installed.  More so if you are using IE9.

If these files include the intact headers, you might find that changing the file extensions to CNM and then mounting the folder as a new mailbox (Folders > Add mailbox to list...) in Pegasus will let you see them and work with them normally.

Anyway, they're only text files, so surely you can get some program that looks for any file with the content "bob@example.org" anywhere within it? That would presumably catch both incoming and outgoing messages...

Nope, almost 1 gig but not anywhere near 2 gig.

Please upgrade to the latest version before we start getting into details, and if you've got IE 9 installed you may need to update IERenderer separately after doing so. Aside from this are lots of posts dealing with crashes of various kinds.

[quote user="Simeon"]Yep, that is it... thanks, I would never have thought to look down there after having it in the window menu for soooooo long![/quote]

It'll be back there after upgrading IERenderer to the .

[quote user="Auser"]The message in the lower left corner has " Applying Filtering Rules....", and there may not have been any new messages.[/quote]

What about turning off filtering for a try? Does your AV scanner scan the new mail directory (every new mail is stored in a single file as opposed to other folders where all messges are stored in a single file only)? If so try without it.

Could you post your "Info" file.

In Pmail go to Help - About Pegasus Mail - Info.

A year or so ago, I wrote in asking how to make Pegasus' write new

mail screen area stay maximized when I opened it to compose a letter.

No one was able to come up with any fix, nor any reason my version of

Pegasus was doing or not doing this. My older versions had always worked

like that so I was puzzled.

 I seem to remember some numbers in a

portion of the, I believe, "PMAIL.INI" portion of the Pegasus file.

Setting the proper numbers was difficult and didn't really work, anyway.

It had to be done manually and I was advised not to worry about it

because it was tough to hit the proper setting so the screen would stay

maximized when opening Pegasus to write mail (something about a 'hairy edge' or similar). Now they are set to:

Application window rectangle              = -4 -4 1288 776
Editor window default width and depth     = 1280 672

 Well, I don't know

what or if I changed something inadvertently but now when I open Pegasus

to compose mail, the writing area is maximized upon opening and stays

that way every time I've done this for a few weeks now. I would like to

make a copy of the portion of the "PMAIL.INI" file to save in case I

start having sizing trouble again. Right now I have the entire

"PMAIL.INI" file copied and saved. Would it be better

to just save the portion of that file that relates to the write new mail

screen staying at its maximum size and not overwrite the entire file if

I ever need to do it?

Can someone please tell me what I should copy and save for future use? Saving the

entire file? Or if this is even the best way to preserve the settings I

am using right now? Thanks for any info!

Ooops, place "Options" between "Tools -Advanced Settings-"

But thanks, I made a few guesses and got it.

Long version is...

Tools -> Options -> Advanced Settings -> Recovery of deleted space from folders -> Compact folders once -> [0] 

The zero value ("0") in  will set it to never. (I hope)

Many thanks; that worked as hoped for.

Start with "Imap" in the Pmail help index.

Jerry, my apologies.  I was looking in the Contents list.  I have just found the reference in the Index at the back!

Thanks, Thomas

Aha! Yes, I had several 'Prices' folders. I have now renamed them.

Cheers!

Just make sure to use the if installing IE 9 on your machine - otherwise you'll start getting crashes again!
