I can't install this due to what appears to be a design shortcoming in the installer.

Please go to the extension development forum for details.

This is just to announce the latest version (2.1.0.9) fixing an issue only occuring on XP 64bit (so far) and completing the French translation.

Another (more important) update is available on the download page:

08.08.2010, 12:00 (MST): Version 2.1.1.0

• fixes a fraud check issue caused by response changes of the IANA TLD WHOIS service;
• fixes a crash occuring on fraud checking after clicking certain hyperlinks;
• implements Shift + mouse click for opening webpages in the background;
• implements an additional workaround for header printing.

Another minor update is available on the download page:

13.09.2010, 21:00 (MST): Version 2.1.1.1

• fixes a fraud check issue (the stop cursor didn't show up after cancelling suspicious links);
• fixes display issues caused by HTML formatting created with recent MS Office applications;
• fixes a BearHtml version display issue occurring after disabling IEControl;
• disables line breaks if neither wrapping (F5) nor reformatting

  (Ctrl + F5) are enabled in Pegasus Mail's reader context menu (keyboard

  shortcuts don't work in preview mode on plain text messages either).

Awesome...my newegg order emails can be read now.

A more important update is available on the download page:

04.10.2010, 20:00 (MST): Version 2.1.2.0

• fixes access violations (potential crashes) on image downloads with network installations of Pegasus Mail;
• fixes some file extension (fraud) checking issues applying to local file links;
• fixes and enhances a couple of minor issues in various places.

This is only a minor update, available from the download page:

 16.10.2010, 18:15 (MST): Version 2.1.2.1

• fixes a charset issue occurring while tidying HTML text used by Pegasus Mail for replying, forwarding and printing;
• provides an enlarged toolbar icon compatible with Pegasus Mail's latest user interface enhancements;
• tries to prevent a cache path creation issue under certain circumstances.

This one may be the final release (except for possible bug fixes, of course):

23.10.2010, 11:30 (MST): Version 2.2.0.0

• renames the former IEControl to IERenderer for providing a more descriptional name;
• slightly enhances the new icon introduced with the previous version;
• tries to fix some mouse wheel issues:
  • wheel scrolling didn't appear work in HTML messages on certain network installations;
  • wheel scrolling and zooming didn't work in the original BearHtml with IERenderer disabled.

Another important update is available on the download page:

12.11.2010, 00:00 (MET): Version 2.3.0.0

• fixes the installer for dealing with registry and network issues caused by the strict UAC rules applied by Windows 7 & Vista;
• enhances application security by enabling Data Execution Prevention on systems allowing it via opt-in or opt-out (i.e. you may disable it using the respective system settings if encountering adverse effects);
• provides an (optional) popup dialog when trying to print HTML messages using Pegasus Mail's built-in print processing offering the use of the renderer's own printing options (still requiring French and Italian translations);
• provides a browser selection menu (if multiple browsers are installed) whenever Pegasus Mail or the renderer offer to open links or messages in a browser (mainly Open link in browser, Open selection as hyperlink and Open message in web browser, all of them in HTML messages only);
• fixes and enhances lots of internal code which should result in more reliable keyboard, mouse and message processing including embedded style, script and frame data (if the respective options are enabled); please note that charset handling is always a "work in progress", so don't hesitate to notify me about any charset related display issues.

A "follow-up" to the previous major update is available on the download page:

17.11.2010, 20:00 (MET): Version 2.3.0.1

• fixes the installer for prompting users if trying to install an older version on top of a newer one;
• fixes potentially crashing access violations on closing the renderer's help screen;
• fixes handling of (message resp. document) internal links;
• completes the French and Italian translations. 

There's another update available on the download page:

19.12.2010, 23:00 (MET): Version 2.3.0.2

• fixes header printing;
• fixes some rare crash conditions;
• adjusts cache path handling to latest Windows UAC rules;
• provides a dialog for cancelling image downloads after encountering errors;
• offers a new way of handling the Load Winsock option for avoiding performance and security issues.

Some more fixes on the download page:

08.01.2011, 15:00 (MET): Version 2.3.0.3

• fixes a freeze condition, URL decoding issues and some context menu flaws;
• ensures that error triggered cancelling of message specific image downloads stays enabled for the remaining Pegasus Mail session.

Since IERenderer is now part of the official Pegasus Mail distribution (4.61 and later) it cannot be installed separately on previous versions anymore (due to some interface changes). It's still available as a separate download, though, as I will (need to) continue providing fixes and adjustments in time as required. A reason for already doing so just now is the imminent release of IE 9 as I didn't want to delay the current Pegasus Mail release any longer. IOW: After installing Pegasus Mail 4.61 it might be a good idea to update IERenderer once again (it also fixes some issues not related to IE 9).

An important update for fixing IE 9 related issues is now available for public testing on the download page:

21.03.2011, 18:00 (MET): Version 2.4.2.0

• fixes fatal crash issues introduced with the IE 9 final release;

• fixes crashes and execution failures occurring when clicking internal links

  with IE 9;

• changes <Shift + Click> background browser launch to <Ctrl +

  Click> for avoiding accidental text highlighting;

• implements an enhanced reformat/line wrap handling (<F5> resp.

  <Ctrl + F5> or reader context menu) which keeps the default browser

  wrapping enabled by default and enforces wrapping if the HTML source uses

  special attributes for preventing this;

• implements a new option called Default HTML printing which

  automatically redirects print processing of HTML messages to IE's printing

  routines if Pegasus Mail's print commands (via <Ctrl + P> or the

  File menu) are used;

• fixes some frame and remote image download failures and a mouse wheel issue

  caused by using a special scroll option;

• provides several enhancements and fixes for special situations (missing

  files, menu item handling, e.g.);

• provides an enhanced update handling to automatically compare installed and

  remote file versions;

• please note that the ClearType option isn't available anymore since

  IE 9.

Another update is available:

15.05.2011, 12:00 (MST): Version 2.4.3.4

• applies a workaround for messages announcing an ambiguous version of UTF-16 encoding without providing a proper BOM;
• fixes and enhances MAILTO protocol and unlinked email address handling via direct click and/or context menu;
• fixes internal link handling when being used with IE 6 (mainly for W2K users);
• fixes a couple of user interface issues related to scaling.

Michael,

The new renderer is working great here.  Thanks for all the work you put into this.

Thanks, Michael, there's another minor update available:

22.05.2011, 19:30 (MST): Version 2.4.4.1

• implements an enhanced error handling avoiding (potentially crashing) exceptions in case of minor issues;
• provides French and Italian translations for recently added features.

Hi, Michael

I installed  2.4.4.0 this morning, had no problems all day.  I installed 2.4.4.1 just now and on install it gives the message "Trying to revoke a drop target that has not been registered (0x80040100) @04077785".

PMail seems to work ok, but after I disconnect my IMAP mailbox and try to close PMail (using File | Exit, which is my normal procedure), PMail crashes rather than closing.  It will re-open OK but always crashes on closing.  Any ideas?

Have gone back to 2.4.4.0 - PMail now closes OK again.

David

FWIW Michael,

 I just updated to 2.4.4.1 without incident on my simple POP3/SMTP single user Win Xp setup and have not experienced any difficulties yet.  I am able to close and re-open PMail without any crashing.
