Bravo!  Pegasus is up and running again.  When I found the .PMM files I also found the .CNM files - no idea why they didn't turn up earlier.  At any rate, I created a temp folder and moved all files of both extensions into it, and opened the program.  Oddly, it seems that I have lost the sub-folders I created but all files seem to have ended up in the Main folder.  By the way, my path was C:\(my computer stuff)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\MAIL.

Cheers,

 Rob

Is there anyway to increase the size of the Telltale notification window in Pegasus?  Our users were used to the large NetWare popup notification window.  We were forced to move to a Windows Server and lost that feature.  Many users want the large notification window because they supposeldy do not see the little Telltale window.  Sound does not help because they want to see the large popup when they return to their desk after being gone.

Martin,
I have compiled a set of messages some time ago which likely cause some crashes. This does not happen all the time but clicking forth and back on various messages a few times may trigger the crash (preview as well opening in own window). I suspect that it would be related to html rendering problems (I am not a programmer)? I will send you the tow zip files which hold several messages for you to test.
Cheers
Thomas

Tx  :-)  Well i should have found that...

thank you Thomas much appreciated

Great! Thanks so much! That's exactly what I needed to know!  Do you think it's worth the upgrade or should I wait until v.5 is done?

Personally I'd go to v4.5 over v4.41 and the upgrade from v4.21c is definitely worth it no matter which one you select..

[quote user="blur5"]hm...no answer....??

 i did try to save to localdisk, doesn't work, then UNC path to server, also doesn't work.

I'm sorry, I do not know what "doesn't work" means.   Since the next sentence says you can do this from the attachment view what are you trying to do.

i have to dbl-click the message, goes to attachment tab, choose the attched pdf and save, it worked.

any ideas, i never had this problem before if i'm using pmail install on each user computer.

problem only sometimes occured, if i running pmail on shared UNC path.

 any ideas?[/quote]

It is nice to get help from a true expert! You hit the nail on the head with the read only. Somehow the whole folder was designated read only. I changed the attribute and now everything is working. BTW, I am running win2k pro. Again, thank you.

I believe I figured out what was going on. A detail I failed to mention was that as I moved the messages I also deleted the old folder because it was no longer used. I think I may have inadvertantly deleted the new folder while attempting to delete the old one. As you suggested I stopped my Trend Micro AV and tried moving messages and it worked fine. At the same time I decided to not delete the old folder until later. I moved messages from many folders with no consequence. Even after deleting the old folders later there was still no problem. I restarted the AV and still had no problems.

I would recommend to the programmers of Pegasus to put the name of the folder in the caution about deleting a folder so the user knows exactly which folder they are deleting. Thank you very much for your support and input.

Ttsar, I have also experienced this problem. It appears to be related to HTML messages. I have found that by disabling BearHTML, at lot of these types of problems go away (see my currently active post on Pmail and BearHTML).

Thanks., SJS.

Hi Ellie/Thomas (David?)

I'm a member of a number of Yahoo groups and have the same problem. I'm aware of what the RFCs say about this but, as a software developer myself who has had to write software to implement certain RFCs, I'm also aware of Postel's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle). This says that an application authors should:

Be conservative in what you do; be liberal in what you accept from others.

In other words, when you're sending a message in SMTP format you should strictly adhere to the rules that are stated in the RFC (this is where many, many modern email clients and web based apps break the rules) however, when you're receiving a message supposedly in SMTP format, you should accept that the rules may be broken and try to cope with them. It is this latter part where Pegasus falls down and, despite having been a user of Pegasus for 15 years or so (including making a couple of, albeit relatively small, contributions to its development), it is this part that (along with a couple of others) is causing me to seriously assess whether I should change to use a different email client. In fact I have been assessing Thunderbird recently as it now seems to have all the features I generally use in Pegasus, as well as an extension to password protect Profiles (albeit a relatively simple one, but that is adequate for my needs).

The other issue that is causing me grief is the handling of hyperlinks when messages are read as plain text and configured to have long lines reformatted. The reformatting breaks the hyperklinks. Thunderbird doesn't seem to have this problem, and nor does Outlook, but whenever an email message contains hyperlinks longer than the width of my message reader window I have to toggle the "Reformat long lines" option in order for the whole hyperlink to be recognised as a hyperlink. Even then, it doesn't always work; I have received numerous emails where a hyperlink is recognised and highlighted (up until the end of the reformatted line) in Pegasus but, when I toggle the "Reformat long lines" option, the hyperlink is no longer highlighted and clickabe.

Anyway, the second issue is off topic here (I'll search for it elsewhere) but the first issue is a nuisance that could be avoided if Postel's Law was followed in Pegasus.

Thanks for your time.

John

I joined the forum for an answer to this specific question.  Unfortunately, either this option was not included in Versions 4.41 and 4.51 or I am just not able to locate any such check box.

Please, if you will be so kind, could you direct me to a solution to this problem.

Thank you.

Thank you immensely!  Problem solved....you have my gratitude!

Hello C A Lane,

Therefore you can use the function Mailmerge. New message - tab Merge
Take a look at:

[quote user="radiorichard"]

Not sure if this is a Pegasus problem but a process of elimination is pushing me that way.

Some attachments sent with emails are getting deleted and replaced with a text message along the lines of:

This section of the message has been deleted. It originally contained the following data:

Content type: application/msword

Content description: (None)

Filename: Q9010903 - Community Radio Special Mobile Myriad System.doc

This seems to happen only with filenames containing hyphens ('-') and getting senders to resend with the hyphen removed always seems to succeed. For some time I thought this was being done by my ISP, but having tried Thunderbird to download exactly the same messages and attachments on the same connection I now think it's a Pegasus 'feature' - but I can't find a setting to turn it off. I don't want to change to another email program though - I'm a big fan of Pegasus!

Anybody any suggestions here?

Hi folks:

I did a clean-up of my computer and a registry cleaning, and since then my Spamhalter isn't functioning, ie all my spam ends up in the in-box.

Also, when I try to move my spam to the spam folder to try and reactivate the 'learning' process, it won't move.  The program just dings and flickers and nothing else happens.  I can move all other mail into any other folder.

Can anyone guess what I fouled up, and set me on the course to fixing it?

TIIA,

Arghh!!!  I just spent a couple hours updating and adding addresses to my pmail address book.  I had one left to go but I stopped for a minute, closed the mailbox, checked for new mail, and then reopened the mailbox.  80% of my addresses had duplicated themselves, including the ones I had just edited!  As far as I know, my only recourse is to go back to my original book again and reedit everything.  Unfortunately, I'm afraid the same thing will happen again when I try again.  This is VERY aggravating because I really don't have the time to be doing this.

 WHY  IS PEGASUS DUPLICATING MY ADDRESSES?

For some reason the index got messed up.  You can upgrade to PB1 where there is a re-index function or you can extract the addressbook and re-import to rebuild the index.  As to why, I really do not know but I suspect you have something (a-v software) interfering with WinPMail access to it's files.

It occurs to me that one method of accomplishing what you wanted to do, would be to look for .PMI files without companion .PMM files.  In your case, that would have identified the missing folder and would probably accomplish the same if the situation is the result of an anti-virus program deleting a PMM file.  Since the PMI file would not have viral content (spurious or real) it should survive interference by the AV program quite nicely.

At any rate, I'm glad you got your folder back!![/quote]

Thanks Bob.

The weird thing is that the AV never said it found a virus.

Gone now anyway.

I'm setting up Pegasus on my widescreen laptop. I'm using multiple identities, however when I go to set up the internet options for an identity I cannot see everything in the box. I know there is something regarding Managing multiple identities in the Receiving (POP). Also the buttons to the side I can only see the edge, no clue what they are for.  This has happened for other programs though never one that I really needed to see what is there.

Thanks, Ann
