I have a Time Warner Cable mailbox.  Quick test shows that a reply using TWC webmail does not quote richtext (HTML) content.  This indicates that your Pegasus Mail user friend is sending only richtext content (he is not including a plain text version).  The option in Pegasus Mail that controls this is located at Tools > Options > Outgoing mail > Sending mail > "Generate multipart/alternative versions of richtext messages".

I suggest he check that setting, enable it if it isn't, then send you a test message, perhaps one that he sent previously that was problematic.

OTOH, if this setting is already check then we need to continue looking elsewhere.

Had that box checked in one identity but not the other. thanks for the reminder.

Hi Tony,

it seems you installed Adobe Reader with quick access (or something like that - don't know exactly cause we install Adobe Acrobat). That service must be uninstalled, because it holds the PDF in access and is reinvoked every time you klick a PDF. Simply install Acrobat Reader without any of that additional services (updateservice is OK). And than closing the PDF should be enough to drag & drop the PDF into Pegasus (same like MS Word).

Regards

Thanks for the suggestions and additional information. I'm thinking that is probably the easiest way to go!

Thanks for the hint, Brian. For the moment I do nothing else, waiting only that some calendar content is reaching us for testing the new filters. But we are receiving such calendar mails rarely.

But at least now I'm able to say to our Thunderbird faction, that PM is also able to show calendar appointments. [:P]

Cheers

Joerg

Thanks both, I shall have a play around this evening.

Just to be clear, you want to insure that the files of Pegasus Mail and its mailbox directories are excluded in the File System Shield of Avast. The default location is C:\Pmail including all subdirectories.  The reason for this is that the File System Shield is scanning files as they are written or opened depending on configuration and this scanning can interfere with the normal operation of Pegasus Mail. 

You can include the Pegasus Mail files in manual scans and scheduled scans although it is safest to run these when Pegasus Mail is closed.

Thanks Martin. I must do a bit more testing. I see various values in Pmail.ini for wrapping etc but they do not seem to alter things. I will persevere when I have time.

Joerg,

Thanks for the kind words, I'm thrilled that I could help.  Now to find time to institute this solution on my system.

After various failing efforts to install Pmail on Wine,  I was now effortless  successful  by using PlayOn Linux, offered for g.e.Linux Mint 19 Efce, which is primarily used for games, but allows to install other programs, as Pmail, as well. As described above,  IErenderer.fff file  in the pmail folder should be enabled. Previous Windows pmail installations can be easily transferred by replacing  new created  pmail/Mail folder in the virtual Linux/pmail folder system  by the old Window pmail/MAIL folder.

Interesting.  I have certificate tracking enabled on the smtp side but am pretty certain that I do not have it enable on the pop3 side since I was looking at it last night when I posted my settings.  I plan to look at it again when I get home though.  Glad you got it figured it out.

FWIW, when the certificate changes there is a prompt by Pegasus Mail that calls the change to your attention.  You can then choose whether to accept the new certificate fingerprint.  Luckily, it doesn't happen often enough to be a significant inconvenience.

I just wondered whether there might be references to the .CNMs in other places that  might cause trouble later.

 Very many thanks Martin! I''ll do that.

Thanks, I suspected that was the case. I am glad you were able to figure out what I was talking about without the picture. Today I had to be out of the office all day and did not have a chance to put up the image.

I am very impressed with Pegasus, though. Fun and easy to set up and use. I am keeping it as my backup in case I get more trouble from Thunderbird.  

I feel for you, as I am in the same position. But if you have been reading items regarding automatic updating of Windows 10, you will come to the conclusion that updating is inevitable.  Even Windows Secrets blog is suggesting there will be no further upgrades to things like Windows 12, just installed patches/fixes which will record progress towards a perfect product.

And to seal our fate, Microsoft are going to be able to force updating apon us. The solution is bleak, but not impossible. We have to report problems to Microsoft and hope that somewhere in their future, patches etc they will solve our issues.

Thanks, I was asking since this issue appears to happen more frequently on Windows 10 with its two "native" browsers and IE not being the default.

[quote user="kdaube"]What can I do to keep the umauts and other accented characters for the receiver? [/quote]

For some reason the UTF-8 encoding didn't work properly. I've forwarded your sample to David Harris. As a workaround you might want to set Tools => Options => Advanced settings => Default MIME character set to ISO-8859-1 ("Western") until David provides a fix (I haven't tested this, though).

 BTW: Posting email addresses like this to a public forum isn't a good idea since almost all public locations on the web are harvested by spammers (or malware distributers) for addresses to send their unwanted stuff to ...

[quote user="David Obdrzalek"]Why IERenderer makes Pegasus freeze even without displaying any email (instead of properly reporting a problem)?[/quote]

First of all the IER extension needs to load an invisible instance of the renderer to work around a bug M$ doesn't want to fix since Pegasus Mail most probably isn't "big" enough for them to care (IIRC it would disable pasting copied content from a renderer window after closing all instances of IE on your system - I guess this removes the HTML handler from the clipboard chain). Why there's an issue on WINE is beyond my knowledge, it's most probably some unimplemented IE related call. After talking to the WINE guys they told me I shouldn't try to work around this (even not disable IER completely if detecting the WINE environment provided I could do so at all) since it's supposed to be fixed by them. IIRC they worked on it for a while, apparently without success. And: Handling WINE issues without having a debug environment for doing so is rather difficult, at least for me ...

 TER and IMAP issues can only be discussed with David Harris.

[quote user="idw"]When you have forward attachments enabled Pegasus Mail attaches all parts of a message including the plain text body, IOW: It can simply be ignored, otherwise you'll need to remove this particular pseudo-attachment manually before sending the message.

The following configuration gives me what I want:

Thanks to all.

Problem apparently solved as a mess up due to latest Win 10 update. Going back to the recent restore point put things back in order.
