Thanks, changed to reporting level 5 and confirmed the addressbook. The batch file still isn't working though, must be doing something wrong...

Good. Time overlap as your message/post came in while I was preparing and post. The missing username it wanted was probably ADMIN.

Also see my response to your post under the topic "Problems on Windows 10 - using Pmail 4.70.

I'm not sure what you are doing, but as a start point make sure your messages are cached in order to view them offline.

You can use a POP3 filter to do this.  The Message Age filter allows you to leave on the server mail older than a specific number of days or a specific date.

Filtering on message age

To trigger a rule based on the age of the message, simply enter either a date, or a number of days. The rule will trigger if the message's Date: field specifies a date older than the date you enter. This type of rule can be useful for purging mail from folders once it reaches a particular age.

Filtering on the message date

To trigger a rule on the date of a message, enter either a pair of dates, or a range of numbers of days. It does not matter whether you enter the earliest or latest date first - Pegasus Mail sorts them into the correct sequence internally. The rule will be triggered if the Date: field of the message specifies a date that falls within the range you have specified. This type of rule can be useful for selecting messages received within a particular time period.

This makes sense is the focus is off of the original message window but I can't duplicate it.  Focus always returns to the original message window after sending a reply and the M button works.  I thought perhaps focus would change after doing a copy to self on the reply but even then the focus returns to the original message.  I run Pegasus (v4.62) windowed (stretched to full screen) in List mode but tested both windowed and maximized.

Duh! Thanks!

Works 100% of the time if the windows are not maximized no matter how many windows are open.

Sorry--I'll start a new thread.

Good catch!  And thanks for reporting your findings back to the forum.

>>Setting the "wantcss" flag to "yes" solved the problem. <<

I agree. I have changed in the ini file from "wantcss=no" to "wantcss=yes" about 2 years ago and since then this problem never was visible.

For test I have changed to "no" and then many messages have again this problem. So set "wantcss=yes" was the better decision.

Add the following line to the end of Filetype.pm in your Pegasus Mail executables directory (eg c:\pmail)

MS-Word DOCX,0,S,0,PK

See wqriteup at beginning of this file for explanation of the variuos fields

Thanks, Michael. This is the issue I tried to describe. I'm still happily running version 4.62 though, including Vincent's hard to close extension. Oh, and I know including screenshots is helpful in such cases, but also a bit of a hassle :-)

Cheers!

I sometimes receive emails with addresses in the form of something like: "JohnnyD"<JohnD@madeup.com>

Pegasus can use these just fine in replies/forwards.  Can I set Pegasus to GENERATE that format of address?  I only see how to choose EITHER address or alias.

[/quote]

You can enter the addresses in the format as described above and choose the option "enter address instead of aliases", then this expression appears in both the message editor and the message received by the addressee (and the copy to self as well).

If your message come back again or if you have the problem again in the future be sure to check the companion *.pnx files of same filename. There should also be no *.pnx without another companion file of same name,  different extension.

Thanks Michael.  I'm sorry I missed that.  My eyes were just too fast.

Hikes! That was easy... Thanks!

I feel kind of dumb... Do you know since when this feature is available in Pegasus?

Pegasus was in its 1.something when I got addicted to it and I didn't know that... I even go in the file menu for reviewing queued messages without noticing anything else. Oh well.

[quote user="SvenH"]According to the author the problem is caused by the MDI implementaton of Microsoft Windows.[/quote]

I'm trying to provide my workaround with IERenderer disabled as well.

[quote user="peggy"]Have the user changed the cache path try to use the user path. Is there an user cache path on the same drive where Pmail / IERenderer is runing and and only the drive letter does not match, try to use this cache path. Is this cache path not available or not read/write enabled go on like it is. (tries to retrieve the APPDATA path of the active user....)[/quote]

Might work ...

[quote user="Jerry Wise"]

If you highlight the entire address and right click you do get a context menu. If you just right click the underlined portion of address and do what it says and open in browser don't you get a new mail message preaddressed? If you just double click on the underlined address don't you get a new mail message preaddressed? [/quote]

This even works if you simply click at any place in the yellow field. Apart from that there was no criticism in my statement, I simply stated that it works differently than before. Likewise, I did not say that there is no way to handle it in the new manner.

[quote user="Jerry Wise"]

With a new TER used and dirrerent .dll I would expect some differences between 4.61 and 4.62. [/quote]

Why this expectation? It used to work perfectly before and I do not see any reason why such functionality should be limited in newer versions.
