Michael,

 Copying the entire html message seemed to result in having only unformatted text pasted into a new message body.

Bouncing to myself resulted in a complete formatted message that could be read without errors.

Forwarding as an attachment to myself was successful, however the Group Table error occurred when attempting to view the attached html message.

This is the first time this error has occurred for me in quite a long while, so it's not a significant problem for the time being.

Cheers,

Jim

> Crash when sending attachment "solved"....or at least identified !
> PCTOOLS AV Free.........is the culprit....some recent update has resulted in a conflict.

So there was something between WinPMail and the server after all.   :-)

We have the same issue here, and it seems to be occurring more each day.  I've given my users tips on what to do for forwarding and printing, but they never remember and are starting to get a little annoyed.  I understand David is working on a fix, that's great news!  If some testing help is needed for the fix, I will gladly volunteer if it helps us arrive at a solution quicker!

You seem to refer to a previous post, which one? Did you get a session log for diagnosing (Tools => Internet options => General at the bottom, please read Pegasus Mail's help or search this forum for more details before posting any of the results, it'll contain your account credentials!).

The issue is not whether Ctl-J reformats the text, (it does), but, rather, what is causing the sudden loss of formatting in the beginning.  It is not triggered by backspacing.  It happens while I am typing (two finger, and not very accurately hitting keys, so you are correct that it probably has something to do with my typing).  But it is unique to Pegasus - it does not happen in any other program - so my suspicion is that it is some key combination which does something particular in Pegasus.  The really interesting aspect here is that apparently nobody else experiences this.

[quote user="pbm"]Thanks. Yes, it turned out to be a bad message in the new mail folder (a CNN file).... [/quote]

It would have been easier to figure out the solution if you had mentioned that Pegasus Mail was crashing ...

I just found that changing the Message font (start a new message and click on the "f" font icon) will change the font of the right pane (addresses) in the Distribution List window. 

Thanks idw,

I had previously played with different settings. I just tried to send again and the emails went out. I re-typed my password on the "Login in to the SMTP server using....". Either before I had the wrong password or Comcast took me off the black list.

 I go thru this every year with them. I'll need to figure something out for next year.

Thanks for your help.

Glad to hear!

Thanks for that Michael. That has got over the problem.

Cheers. George.

It isn't a big deal, but I thought Pegasus would wrap, since most e-mail clients do it automatically, like most word processors do.

As far as I know, you can control this in Tools | Options | Message formatting. However, I do believe that the broken line ends are on the recipient's end rather than yours. I regularly have to hit F5 or Ctrl+F5 to to be able to read a message properly, depending on its source (email client, web mail, etc.). I have no idea how this works in other email clients. What email clients do the people you send mail to use? Do they all use the same email client or different ones?

Cheers!

SMTP works fine now. It must have been one of those out-of-a-blue-moon server maintenance breaks. This ISP is normally very reliable. Thanks for your help. I updated my first post to "resolved/ignore".

[quote user="lesjuby"] The crash was tripped by an attempt to edit the cuurently enable POP definition.[/quote]

Can you please contact me personally (take the address from MiniDump's ReadMe file)?

If you are viewing the html version of a message you can change the default font color by editing Bearhtml.ini. Find the line that goes like  Defaultfontcolor=  and specify a color such as blue,black or white. In your case I would suggest coding DefaultFontColor=white   But note that where the message composer sets a color, it cannot be overridden.

Please provide more details using the .

Thank you Michael, that did the trick.

 I should have thought of this myself, but PM has been working so flawlessly for the past few years I forgot how to.

Suddenly, Pegasus does not retain any new sort order. Every time I close and reopen a folder it reverts to the last sort order in effect before it "lost its memory".

[quote user="ajwest"]Thankyou - deleted all files with 0 content and now Pegasus is working normally.[/quote]

Did you install the provided for fixing this crash condition?

Thanks, Michael!

Anyway, I was able to solve the problem in the meantime:

In the "address book properties" there are a couple of options to either use or not use the aliases either for each individual addressbook or for all addressbooks at once:

Choose "Addressbooks" from the "Addresses" menu, click the "Book"... button on the toolbar and choose "Addressbook properties" to access those options. 

For some reason, "Apply the e-mail address instead of the alias" was enabled for all of my addressbooks.

[quote user="kells"]I often want to forward these emails and am unable to.[/quote]

Either bounce or forward as attachment.

[quote user="kells"]Another frustration is that if I paste in formatted text, it looks okay before I send but when received, the formatting is all over the place.[/quote]

I have no idea what you're trying to say here: What does the formatting is all over the place mean?

[quote user="kells"]Even using bullets in Pegasus, when the email is viewed in Pegasus, it does not display the bullets.[/quote]

Do you have Tools => Options => Message formatting => Disable all text styling options enabled? And do you have Tools => Options => Message reader => Where a choice of formats exists, display the fancy version enabled? You may want to change one or the other ...
