I have been a Pegasus user for many years now. The biggest shortcoming of the program for me is the inability of the program to handle bidi (bidirectional) issues (i.e., in an environment where there is mixed use of LTR (left-to-right) languages such as English together with RTL (right-to-left) languages such as Hebrew or Arabic).

The unicode incompatibility of Pegasus has been a subject of various

threads in the Pegasus usenet newsgroups for years. For this reason I

now also have a gmail account, which I use for such bilingual messages. 

For that reason I am still using Pegasus version 4.02, which as far as I know is the last version to properly display LTR (left-to-right) languages such as English on a computer which uses a RTL (right-to-left) version of Windows. Every other modern email client that I am aware of does not have this problem. I haven't switched away from Pegasus completely, however, because of the time it would take me to convert all my archived messages from Pegasus format to something the other programs can read.

I don't remember if I tested the most recent release of Pegasus (4.41) on this issue.

Good luck.

Hi, 

I'm a PMail 4.41 user and I have a problem with bilingual messages, (i.e. mixing of right-to-left and left-to-right is problematic). I do not have such a problem with Outlook Express but I want to do this by Pegasus Mail. I emailed the issue to tech-support@pmail.gen.nz and they addressed me the -Z command option (do not remember the actual number, however), which didn't work. (I'm Sure)

I don't know wether this option is available in new PMail or not, but I need something like _Right to Left Paragraph_ as available for Outlook Express (and many other clients). I think It is very simple and rational.

PS: I hate Outlook Express or any other email client software -except Pegasus!
