Have you configured a default return path?  The setting is located in Tools > Options> Outgoing Mail > Sending mail.

If the attachment has no name or no filetype, click on the Save button, and save the file to your hard drive where you can examine it and assign a filetype if required.

Hi Jerry, thanks for that. I will give it a try. At first looks, it looks like it might work for what I want.

IF it works, it does seem like a lot of work to over-ride something that the developers should have made a checkbox-option. [:)]

However, I have just found anther more serious issue and it looks like Pegasus might not be for me. I will post a new question on the  "Reply to" and/or "Return-Path" issue that is being handled incorrectly or actually, not at all.

OK, I think I have it sorted out with identities and clicking the "Check multiple identities"

RE:

Thank you. Although it splits files, only Pegasus Mail files are readable, while IMAP files are not and/or I'd get the message "List index out of bounds (0)".

RE: What about creating a new user account in Pegasus Mail, closing it, disconnecting the PC from the network and copying the backed-up files into the new account's folder, then starting Pegasus as that user (remaining disconnected) ?? I know that Outlook keeps a copy of the messages from IMAP, does Pegasus not do that too?

I thought of this as soon as I noticed the problem before posting on this forum but immediately realized it's not feasible because IMAP files would not load if there's no internet connection. Unless I misunderstand your idea.

How do I select Pegasus as my default mail program in Windows 8?[/quote]

Have you found the answer yet?

23 years.

Had this problem, reported it approx 2 wks ago. A new patched third party dll was sent. Not at home so can not supply name (think tiddy.dll ?!?).

 Corrected the problem, and no odd effects with any HTML e-mails thus far.

Have you looked at "Command line options" in the Help files?

Thanks Brian - I'm back up and running again and thanks to your help I'm a happy bunny today. ;-)

[quote user="peterwilkinson"]I forgot to say I have disabled the Left Alt/Shift combination to switch languages already[/quote]

Hmm ... you have a multilanguage keyboard ... did you disable CTRL + ALT to switch keyboard too?

Can't test that because I simply have a singlelanguaged german keyboard. Using that combination doesn't cause anything with my keyboardlayout.

Yes ... my Win7 is installed german and english. But changing language to EN in my case changes keyboardlayout (i.e. z and y change their places) too - not that funny on a simple german keyboard :-)

Yes.

I'm running the current version on the "mail" machine; an older one on my wife's for her mail. Hers is a Windows 7 64 bit box, this laptop is an XP 32 bit. Since her mail's working fine thus far I haven't worked up the ambition for tackling the PM4.6x version on her machine.

Thanks again for the reply.

Thinking out-of-the-box, why not color the message in your incoming mail list?  It is a simple action in the ruleset you are already using.

[quote user="janhaverkamp"]Since I have reinstalled PMAIL (4.6.3) and idw's S/MIME front-end, I have a problem with:

 This message contains additional parts:
Please double-click here for working with the individual parts of the message.[/quote]

If you send me a personal mail (via the extension's About ... dialog) I can provide you with a fixed test version ...

Is the space at the top of that window, where the icons and/or text normaly resides still there - even empty?

If not, close  Pegasus, rename STATE.PMJ in you mailbox and restart Pegasus.

If yes the folder with the icons (PNG in programdiretory) or some of them may be lost. *Ups* PM441 - may be that folder doesn't exist at all in that version - don't remember.

[quote user="PierreGJ"]

I have several *.CNM files.

How can I read the content with Pegasus Mail v4.63 ?

[/quote]

They appear automatically when they arrive or are placed in your new mail location for that user, by default c:\pmail\mail\admin

If moved or copied from elsewhere they must not be marked R (read only) attribute  at OS level.

Did you actually do read new mail button or from file menu?

.cnm files are just raw messages as received from the mail server complete with all headers and body  parts. One .cnm file per message.

I think I've fixed problem (1) on my laptop by running wsendto.exe in Win XP SP3 compatibility mode.  Why this should help, I don't know:  the apparently identical configuration on my desktop (also Win 7 Pro x64, same Pegasus, same settings) lets mailto: links work fine without that compatibility setting.

That leaves a minor irritation which is nothing to do with Pegasus:  every call to PMail on the laptop, including invoking a mailto: link when PMail is already up and running, requires me to confirm a UAC warning.   I seem to have managed to kill that on the desktop, but I can't remember how.  If anyone can remind how to disable that piece of Win 7 protection just for PMail, I'd be very grateful.

But my problem (2) with Pegasus on the laptop still persists:  I can't drag and drop files into the attachment pane.  This is a renewed plea for help on that one.  TIA.

I was experiencing a problem with Pegasus Mail 4.63 crashing at random times several times a day on a Windows 2003 Standard terminal server.  With the valuable help of Michael in der Wiesche (who handles the crash dumps) and David Harris, I was able to isolate the cause to something to do with RasMan.  Here is the stack dump for historical purposes :

The solution ended up being a hotfix from Microsoft that addresses both XP and 2003 in a multithreaded environment :

[quote user="Danny"]Hello,

I am using Pegasus Mail v4.41 on two netbooks. Since one year ago on one netbook Pegasus crashes on pressing the reply button. Closing Pegasus and start again before replying works, but is a little bit annoying. On the other netbook there has been no problem although the same installation (installed in a truecrypt container). But since yesterday also on the second netbook the same behavior. Update on v4.63 doesn't solve the problem.[/quote]

Since you can duplicate the issue with the current version I'd like to ask you to provide us with some more detailed information so we may learn about the background of these crashes for fixing them once for all: May I ask you, to install and use the MiniDump extension for providing further details with v4.63 (see )?
