That was IT! Changing Load Windows Internet Services set to Always takes care of it. Perfect! [:D]
Thanks a lot, Michael!

This one has been bugging me for years: BearHTML stops downloading images after *any* POP3 download. (FYI, my Pmail is set to "display remote images manually".)
Steps to reproduce:
- start Pmail
- click to download your emails via POP3
- open *any* HTML message (for which you have not downloaded images yet), and bring up the context-menu
- click "Show pictures (HTML only)"
What happens: the Pmail statusbar shows the process of enumerating images to download - but everything happens in a flash, and no image gets actually downloaded.
Opening *any* other HTML message and trying to display pictures results in the same failure. Pmail acts like doing it - but it does not download anything.
To get Pmail to download images for HTML messages again it is necessary to *restart* Pmail. Image downloading will work after restart, right until the first POP3 download, after which images will fail to download again.
Hint: shockingly for me, the short-lived version 4.6.9.0 - to which I have no longer access - did *not* exhibit this problem, when I tried it before Christmas. One would think, the two problems, broken CSS-support, and problem with image downloads may well be related.

Do you have Tools => Options => Advanced settings => Load Windows Internet Services set to Always (restart after changing)?

If you trigger a manual download of images for a message, you must wait until they have completed the download process, before moving on to any other message.

Martin,
The mouse cursor clearly indicates process state/completion, it is not even possible to move on to another message before downloads are finished (in classic, non-multi-panel mailbox view).
This is not a cursory observation, I have been living with this annoyance for years. The bug is 100% reproducible, I hope to have given enough details in my description.
BTW, OS is Windows 7 32-bit, running Pmail 4.63, with BearHTML 4.6.8.2 / 4.6.8.16 / 4.6.9.1.
Please, let me know if you need more information, or how I can be of help to get this fixed.
Thank you.
George
