Pegasus now sending two copies of anything I forward

Thank you, Brian. By continuing to play around forwarding e-mail with graphic

attachments, varying the forwarding choices, following directions!, etc., I found the root of

my problem!!  Though it seems "unintuitive" to me, it's incredibly simple!

If I forward any message w/graphic(s) using the first forwarding option - "Edit or make changes to the messages before forwarding them" and I DON'T make any changes to the forwarded message - i.e., if I just leave the extra space above the forwarded text empty - the message is always duplicated in the message queue.

HOWEVER, if I do as the option instructs and write anything at all in the space above the forwarded text, the message - even with graphics - is not duplicated, appearing only once in the message queue as expected!

If I choose the second option to simply "bounce" the message, the message is NOT duplicated in the queue, either. I did not experiment with the third and fourth forwarding options as I would likely never use those.

For some reason, Pegasus has started sending two copies of any e-mail that I forward - unless I go into the queue manager and delete one of the copies. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? It's not a huge problem, just a very bothersome glitch and time waster that I'd love to get rid of!

Thanks in advance,

Dave

PS: I'm using IMAP to receive and SMTP to send.

This duplicate message issue only seems to happen when there is any graphic in the forwarded message!

The only time I have seen this is when doing a forward of a message attached to a new message with the option to send attachments as separate messages enabled.  The two messages aren't duplicates though.

Queued messages are stored in the mailbox directory as .PMX files so considering comparing the pair of queued message files for clues into what is happening.
