There's nothing garbled, it's just the HTML version of a message, and if it displays ok in Pegasus Mail I really wonder why it should not on other people's machines. Note that Pegasus Mail by default pastes in formatted text if available on the clipboard which enables the editor's Rich text option, you can avoid HTML parts from being created by unchecking the Rich text option or using paste special (Ctrl + Shift + V or context menu entry). There are also options for sending plain text messages (Tools => Options => Message formatting) or multipart/alternative (Tools => Options => Sending mail) which might help.

When I send email to myself as a test, Pegasus honors the formatting in the signature except the image which appears as a grey box.[/quote]

That's because Pegasus suppresses images by default. If you right-click in the body of the message, you'll see an option "Show pictures (HTML only)". If you select this option, you'll see the graphic. [/quote]

Provided the signature (or message) contains remote (linked) images this is true, otherwise there must be something else involved ... Make sure the image you select for your signature is displayed in the signature editor before saving and closing, you sometimes need to load images twice for succeeding.

Thanks to Thomas, I can now receive mail! 

It turned out to be Avast anti-virus blocking the sending of the email, probably/possibly changed in an automatic update!

The last place I would think to look!

I don't think it is the printers, cuz everyone in my office room is connected to the same printer, and they don't have the same problem. If I recalled correctly this started happening after I changed my default copies to self folder and it's name, is there a a way to change it back to default setting?

I will give your suggesstion a try regardless.

Thanks.

Open an editor window and check again ...

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.
