Would simply like to suggest that changing "text" URLs into hyper-links be added as an option. ...

[/quote]

This is already an option. The only thing is that it only converts what looks like URLs into hyperlinks only in plain text messages. In HTML messages, PMail is assuming if the writer wanted a clickable link, they'd have made it an <a ..> link to begin with. Maybe I'm already used to that, since my general-purpose editor does pretty much the same thing. It will hyperlink anything that looks like a URL--BUT IF AND ONLY IF the document is not already an HTML document. If it is an HTML document, it won't do any conversions, since most often, those conversions mess up the way the writer originally designed the HTML. Personally, I agree that trying to "second guess" HTML documents is more headache than it's worth; Not only does it increase the load on the CPU and slow down rendering the message, I've found it often makes HMTL line up all messed up and half the time unreadable until I read it as plain text!

Current versions have limited import/export capabilities via the now ancient "PMIMPORT" DOS utility still provided with the program. V5 will support import/export in a variety of formats, including CSV, TSV and Vcard.

Cheers!

It worked. Many thanks. (But I am positive that I did not change anything).

Hi

this is the contents of the email:

This is a quick e-mail to let you know that your page for Bellevue Bed & Breakfast at was just viewed by a potential guest.

So far 4420 people have viewed your listing.

Please make sure your details are up to date. Log-in here: www.bandbfsa.com.au/login.asp?UserEMail=bellevuebnb@gmail.com . You can also use our Special Packages feature. 

We are missing something here. Why would Unity email your .wav files without a file extension. This is highly improbable, as the receiving mail agent would have no way of telling what kind of file it was dealing with.  As in the previous posting, the Mime headers at the beginning of the encoded .wav file section of the message are critical to any useful discussion.

[quote user="Hilbrand"]I may misunderstand something, but how can I get a message with an attachment to you?[/quote]

Send it outside of the community using your email client and the email address I sent you.  Peter does not want us putting email addresses, even the ones that are already used by spammers, in our communications here.

David,

This same issue happened to me after I installed Adobe Photoshop CS3.  Uninstalling it removes the problem.  So do you have any ideas on what Adobe Products could be altering that causes the block on GoDaddy.  I have Comcast email accounts as well and Pegasus has no problem connecting and sending through them.

Thanks,

Davis

I'm afraid I can't really envision the problem you're describing. If you have MIME support turned on and the "Send as separate messages" option turned off, then the attachments *always* go as part of the message.

Are you sure there isn't something between you and the recipient interfering with the message in some way? It almost sounds as though the message is being rewritten or otherwise tampered-with in transit.

Cheers!

Peter had this exactly right with the problem reverse pointer in DNS.  The DNS Admin had a typo on the IP address. 

Had the same problem - this worked for me ... With Pegasus closed, remove the files state.pmj, cache.pm, desktop.pm0, folstate.pm, hierarch.pm, mailboxp.lck from the PMAIL/MAIL folder (I put them on my desktop just incase I needed/wanted to put them back). (Pegaus will recreate these files when you startup Pegagus.) Start Pegaus and Voila!! The menu buttons/text are restored. I don't think all of these files are the problem, probably just one of them, but I didn't want to take anymore time to figure it out. Hope this helps.

It would help if you could send me a copy of one of these messages please (send to irelam@telus.net )

Martin

I'd have to see an example before I could comment further, sorry. If you have one of these, please locate the .CNM file in your mailbox directory (you can find out the filename by highlighting the message in your new mail folder and pressing <F12> to view its properties), put it in a ZIP file, then send me the ZIP file (it's very important that you do things this way).

Cheers!

[quote user="Hilbrand"]Thanks for this great discussion! As I understand it, the solution we've used until now may still be the best there is. I may even continue working with stand-alone Pegasus versions on our individual machines, even in a well networked office. The thing is, and it seems difficult to imagine, I do a lot of work in airplanes (still no internet access at all) and in low-income countries (uncertain internet access). I just need to have my full Pegasus mail database on my machine, just as Thomas' colleague, as we cannot be dependent on uncertain internet connections. Thanks anyway!

 I've setup Mercury/32, Apache,  PHP and SquirrelMail on my home system (DSL, my own domain with fixed IP address) and find this works quite well from most everywhere.  When in the back country in Tanzania, Mexico, Peru, etc. I did not try to open my folder with ~20K messages but in many cases I've found internet cafes in the strangest places with relatively good connections to the internet.  That said, I do copy Pegasus Mail and all my current folders to the laptops local hard drive before going on the road and setup a transfer folder for everything that I want to put on the main system with I get back.  This is a one way transfer of folders always.  I find, at least in my case, there can be too many problems with lost mail when you transfer the whole thing back and forth.
 

That seems to have solved the problem.  Thanks.

The editor we use is probably trying to be "helpful" with things like RTL layout because it detects the Hebrew IME on the system.

I *believe* there is a switch I can use to disable automatic RTL detection; If I have a chance, I'll try to make it available in the next update (which is probably a few weeks away now).

Cheers!

Thank You!!

To all who responded so magnificently, I appreciate the input and advice.

In the end, I burned a couple of DVDs, created a new folder via the Add Mailbox to List then dragged all emails to their respective folders. The only downside to the exercise?  Two minor hassles, the new linked folder lost all its subdirectories so I had to recreate new ones then drag the respective emails to their new home, which highlighted the fact that I could not drag a folder from the importing location. Otherwise a nice fix.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and have a sensational day:-)

I'm playing with an extension to make Pegasus Mail "hard to close" (much like the Mercury/32 option).  Graying "Close" on the system menu item is effective against "Close" and the "X" button but it does not thwart <Alt-F4> (no surprise).  On the other hand, a WH_GETMESSAGE hook whose guts are

        if (    pmsg->hwnd == hWndPMFrame
                && pmsg->message == WM_SYSCOMMAND
                && pmsg->wParam == SC_CLOSE  )
        {
            pmsg->wParam = SC_MINIMIZE;
        }

is effectlve against the system menu's "Close" and <Alt-F4> but not against the "X" button.  The "X" button does cause <WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE> (as seen with Spy++) but my hook process never sees it.  Do you know why my hook process doesn't see the message in this case?

A second question:  When not using a hook, and simply graying the system menu's "Close", my (startup) extension unloads itself by sending WM_CLOSE to hParent (from FORMINIT).  Is that an acceptable way for an extension to unload itself?

Thanks.

According to RFC 2822 (the governing RFC for mail message formats) the Date you have quoted is

a valid date. The "(GMT +01:00)" should be ignored since it is syntactically a comment.  Pegasus, however,

doesn't appear to parse it correctly.

Bob.

I would suggest the following *relatively* simple method.

1. Detect incoming mail that meets the triggering requirement (subject/from/body-content) via a NewMail rule.

2. Forward the message to a noticeboard via a second Newmail rule, with same trigger requirement. This step is needed to create a discrete file.

   This creates a message file with filetype *.cnb.

3. A third rule, with same trigger requirement, to delete the message from NewMail.  

4. Run a program to detect this new message (type) and rewrite the message suitably fixed up.

5. move (not copy) the message back to the NewMail directory.

The MS error reporting window appears. There are no firewall issues, the entire IP range on the LAN is trusted and allowed by the firewall, and there are no issues printing to other shared printers from any other applications. It would seem to be limited to Pegasus Mail.
