[quote user="Thomas R. Stephenson"]... use UTF-8 all the time and it will be able to handle your mixing of plain text and high bit characters.[/quote]

I changed Pegasus advanced settings to UTF-8 charset and forwarded the offending document to myself. The subject line still contained –. Then I noticed that the dash in the original email (in Pegasus) was longer than usual so I replaced it with a normal -. Now the dash displays correctly. As you say, I must have pasted the original from Word.

 Thanks, Stan Hilliard

Hello,

  We need more info in order to help you.  Such as version of Pegasus Mail being used.  There are a large number of threads dealing with AVG8 in this community, mostly dealing with being unable to virus scan attachments.  But for now, do you have a virus vault with a total size greater than 5 megabytes? AVG 8 puts files in the quarentine folder until the limit (user settable) is exceeded then it just silently deletes them.

Now PMAIL works as it should .

A resume of the Registration file: 

Version 1 which was failing


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

C:\\PMAIL\Programs\wsendto.exe,0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\wsendto.exe %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE


Version 2 Peter Strömblad's pmail.reg


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE,1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE -A -T %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\Programs\WINPM-32.EXE -A


This work very well on http://www.lundskov.dk/menu/menu-citat.htm

but on

http://www.vandenbogaerde.net/ i.e. Han van den Bogaerde's Web Site strange things happend.

On the line "A very interesting part about Pegasus Mail and Mercury MTA in English I clicked on Pegasus Mail and got the line "For an e-mail .....click here" And I clicked on 'click here'. A very short moment the fine picture about Pegasus came up and disappeared. PMAIL didn't open. I opened PMAIL and found that the e-mail form filled in with adress was hidden in Review queued mail... OK I thought I could live with that.


Of curiosity I went to C:\PMAIL\Programs and looked at the long list of files. Saw wsendto10.exe which anbecker mentioned 08-18-2008. What will happen if I click this one? I am an ignorant about all that utility stuff and to my astonishment a window showed up telling me about a utility 'WsendTo Installation' written by David Harris and which would improve the integration between the Web Browser and Pegasus.

I went further on and got


Version 3


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\Protocols\mailto\DefaultIcon]

C:\PMAIL\\Programs\WSENDTO.EXE,0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\PegasusMail\Protocols\mailto\shell\open\

command]C:\PMAIL\Programs\WSENDTO.EXE %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail\Pegasus Mail\shell\open\command]

C:\PMAIL\\Programs\\WSENDTO.EXE


which does the job just as I want. Hurrah!


In my ignorance I thought PMAIL by itself started wsendt10.exe, so even in my year of 85 I have something to learn even if I have used PMAIL around 13 years :-)


Thank you all involved in my problem.


Kind regards

Gunnar

XP MCE seems to base on the Pro version... I had to change some options for displaying the folders and then the security tab was visible. I changed the rights and Pegasus seems to work propperly on my restricted account now - with my old data!

Many thanks for your quick help!

Best regrads,

Titus

Did you place - in a new message - a mark before 'Rich text'?
If not there will be a not formatted signature send.

Maybe you can confirm that ?

Yes and no.  ;-) The Linksys model BEFSR41 version 4.0 and later does have the Qos option, the v3.0 and older do not.  Of course you can set the priority of a running application in WinXP to do pretty much the same thing.

I had this happen to me too.  However, the information provided in this post gave me an idea of how to fix the problem.  I had one of my programmers write a few lines of code to get my mail folder useable again.  I'll paste the code below in case it will help others with this.  It did work for me!! 

He created a bash file named pmail on one of our Linux servers.  I'll give the instructions first, and then paste the code at the bottom.  Here's the command line to run the script based on how it's written:

./pmail foldername.pmm 3000

For example, if you wanted to extract 3000 email from the folder named FOL06A16.PMM  you would use the following command:

./pmail FOL06A16.PMM 3000

The script will output 2 files. One called new.FOL06A16.PMM

(new.FOL06A16.PMM) will exclude the last 3000 email in this case.

The second file will be named "lemails.PMM" which will include the last 3000 email in this case.

First, exist Pegasus before you start any of these procedures. 

Next move the foldername.pmm (ie, FOL06A16.PMM) out of your Pegasus mail directory.  You should have it as a backup and it must NOT be in this directory to accomplish the fix.

Next, move the lemails.PMM file into your Pegasus mail directory (usually C:\PMAIL\MAIL\[USER] )

Next Open up Pegasus, and you will see a new "empty" folder. Right click on it and click on "Reindex folder".  Then click on the "empty" folder and click rename on top icon row to rename the folder to what you wish.

Now Close Pegasus and copy in the new.foldername.pmm (ie, new.FOL06A16.PMM) and rename it to its original name like FOL06A16.PMM. 

Now Open Pegasus and you will see another "empty" folder.  Right click on it and click on "Reindex folder".  Then click on the "empty" folder and click rename on top icon row to rename the folder to what you wish (note:  Do not name it the same as the other folder above).

Now Close Pegasus and then Open Pegasus.  You should be all set now.

Note:  Don't delete you're original folder file in case there are any errors.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code below:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

#convert new lines to"

~#@~" characters so that all emails will be on a single line

cat $1 | tr "\n" "

~#@~" > newpmail

#convert all control z chars to new line

cat newpmail | tr "\32" "\n" > newpmail2

#count the number of emails (lines)

filwc=`wc -l newpmail2 | cut -d" " -f1`

echo $filwc

origfile=`expr $filwc - $2`

echo $origfile

head -$origfile newpmail2 > new

cat new | tr "\n" "\32" > new.1

cat new.1 | tr "

~#@~" "\n" > new.$1

 

#put last emails into plast file

tail -$2 newpmail2 > plast$2

 

#convert new lines back to ctrl z chars

cat plast$2 | tr "\n" "\32" > plast$2.1

#convert ~#@~ back to new lines

cat plast$2.1 | tr "

~#@~" "\n" > lemails.PMM

#remove temp files

rm newpmail newpmail2 new new.1 plast$2 plast$2.1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save the file as pmail

Make sure the execute permissions on the file are set (chmod 755 pmail)

Run the script: ./pmail [filename] [number of emails]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this will help others, as I know how important it is to be able to be able to access past email.

Code written by  Max Maksimov.  If the code doesn't post correctly here, let me know and I will send the details to you.

The problem is, that Thunderbird uses more fields for an contact than Pegasus does (e.g. Pegasus has one 'name' field, Thunderbird two).

I don't know, if a converter exists, maybe you have to changethe tab-file manually.

Remove the tab between the contact names and put the e-mail address right after the name in the tab-file. Now the name and e-mail address

will be displayed correct in Pegasus.

 

Note: Please don't write your whole message in capital letters.

I have not heard it mentioned.   As you may know, Pegasus Mail is going through a redefining of features, and part of that redefining is the basic parts and how we can access them.  I would not be surprised if this printing option will be available. But I can't promise anything, that will be up to David

Success!  I finally found a combination that worked.  Thought I'd pass this on in case others run into this MSN problem.  I rechecked name and password for spelling, the correct port addresses and settings that you mentioned, etc.  First, msn wants the whole correct email address, not just the prefix.  But the weird setting is to check the "Disable certificate validation" box...  for both the POP3 and SMTP security settings.  I wouldn't 'o thunk it!

Now do you know where I can get a list of file names that Pegasus uses, so I can copy them onto a different computer with a newly installed Pegasus, so they have the same folders, addressbooks, and setups?

In any case, thanks to all who contributed to unraveling my dilemma. I am happy to continue to use Pegasus.

 Regards.

[quote user="simpona"]

Sorry, but searches didn't pull up threads on sharing of distribution lists.  I need to know what switches, or modification of ini file,etc is needed to direct to commonly shared distribution lists.  Seems to me it was in the shortcut for Pmail itself, but it's been a while.

 Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

 Thanks.

If you want to set it using the commandline, add -V PML=<drive>\<path> to the commandline.

Filters? What? - do you autoforward in Pegasus Mail based on the headers?
