if 4.91 doesn't work for me can I revert to 4.8?

I see that 4.91 has been out for a while, does Mr. Harris send out notification emails? I'm a fairly frequent donator so my contact info is up to date.


If 4.91 doesn't work for me, can I go back to 4.8 or is this a one way trip?


Thanks,

He does not send out notifications. He announces new versions as newsflashes on this site. Someone will then post it on the PM-Win listserv list.

Yes. Installing 4.81 as an upgrade over 4.91 will work although I am not aware of any show-stoppers in 4.91 that would result in the need to revert to 4.81.

Thanks for that. I upgraded and my application window would not expand to the screen. I did see normal message windows for unsent drafts at normal size.


I poked around and looked at state.pmj and new mail under [folder] had a negative number right after the equals sign. So I removed the minus sign.


I ran into an issue where I thought W11 notepad saved the file w/o prompting but that was a change from W10 to W11. Actually it didn't save it, only remembering the changes. Once I set notepad to prompt to save on close, I got things working fine.

Is 4.81 available for download?


Yes, here: https://www.pmail.com/betas.htm


It doesn't sound like you need it though. I'm glad you were able to resolve the offscreen window position.
