Thank you, very good advice concerning the usage of BearHTML. I always have the latest version running, but did not know about that key combination.

However, concerning my initial post, I prefer to have most of my e-mails displayed "fancy", therefore I have the "display the fancy version"-option turned on, but when printing, I generally prefer plain text, where this very same option is in the way.

There are a number of places like this where it would really be better if clicking "Cancel" cancelled the entire operation instead of just the one instance.

It's the sort of thing I fix sporadically - it never quite bubbles to the top of the pot, so it depends on me getting annoyed by it myself, or happening to be working on just that specific piece of code. I'll see what I can do.

Cheers!

I would like to have a command line switch like Pmail for Dos, where it is -r. This shall do the rules and exit pmail after that.

 

Greetings

If you keep your messages reverse-sorted by date, the new messages will come in at the top and everything will be in correct sort order.

Messages marked "urgent" floating to the top, or using the setting "sort unread before read" will slightly skew the list, but it's a lot better than having half your new mail at the top and half at the bottom.

Try it, you might be surprised how quickly you get used to it... it's not as cool and sophisticated as fancy grouping & threading, but it works!

Up! Sorry but I found the message above irrelevant to the problem I noticed.

At the moment I am on some lists the only one adding "Re:" before "

    ", which I correct manually in order to keep in coherence with mail server.

     Isn't there a way to make "Re:" float and adapt to the list's choice? Or simply adopt the "Re:" after "

      "?

Up! Sorry but I didn't fully understand the relevance of the message above to the problem I noticed.

At present clicking on the first "Mail filtering rules" would be enough for me, and then deciding the other actions on specific tabs of the new window, if needed.

I still think it is useful to reduce the number of steps, and consequently add a New Folder button as early as possible.

When trying to develop an "online democracy" in some non-profits, I found a major reluctance from people who would complain that their "mailbox was flooded". It soon appeared that they were unable to create filters by themselves.

 

Therefore, in such cases, it would have been useful to send them a "configuration file": I click on Export, I am presented with a choice of the filters to export, and for import the new user is also presented with a choice of the filters to import. 

 

For more advanced users, that would speed up config in the case for instance of an individual joining an organization with many thematic newsletters.

I still still think that displaying the search results in the folders windows will be confusing for new users, and will worsen Pmail's reputation of clogged or clumsy interface.

 

It should be an option at most. Usually there is no need to see searches in the interface when there is no search. Unwanted info is noise.

Same here!  I thought I was the only one experiencing this weirdness! (running Win2k, SP4).

I suppose we should move this discussion to Support....but I could not resist responding, as I previously thought I was the only one with this problem!

[quote user="Brian Fluet"]

Once you have that new message filename (it will be in the format ????????.CNM), use a text editor like Notepad to open that file.  Look for the Date: header entry.  That is the information Pegasus Mail uses to display Date/Time. [/quote]

Got it! I didn't realize that the entire file needs to be opened and edited. I thought it could just be changed with a Change Attributes program when right-clicking on the file. I tested it and it works. If it's a large file with attachments though it would probably take quite some time to open by Notepad or Wordpad.

 "Note:  You can view the Date: header from within Pegasus Mail using the Raw view tab. No editing from there though." I noticed that and realized it cannot be edited from there.

Thank you for your assistance and for taking the time to explain it thoroughly.

Thank you for that information. I've printed that onto a card and posted it next to the computer.

when searching in one or more folders the result is found in a search result folder - isn´t that exactly the same function ?
