Thanks for the quick reply. 

 
That is how I change signatures. But if I close Pegasus when I reopen it the Default set indicated reverts to the old one in place at the time of the switch.

This says to me that you are not updating the pmail.ini file.  The first thing that comes to mind is you do not have the full rights to the mail directories.

Well I followed that step and I still cannot see my system.pm! or .pmr

 

However, I have located the default personal.pm! and .pmr files.

 

Is it possible to edit this default "personal" addressbook and follow the steps you have given me so everyone can have this addressbook?

 

Thanks so much for your help thus far.

Really strange.  In any case if you copy these two files to the same location as the WinPMail program file (winpm-32.exe)  then it will show up as both a personal and system addressbook for you.  It will be available to anyone running that copy of WinPMail as a system addressbook.

Works great, thanks Martin!

I think it's better to have a good codebase to build on, then having a new release

with only visual things changed.

But to hear from you, that there'll be a next release within this year is very good. 

For what it's worth... I *have* got the ability to split a list mailing into multiple SMTP sessions on my to-do list, but I can't give you any firm timeframe when it might be available.

Cheers!

Hello,

     try this.  Open the message and make sure you are looking at the html version (Keying in Shift F1 should bring up the Bearhtml help). Key in Shift + F1 again to return to the message. Now key in Shift + Ctrl + P which will cause Bearhtml to attempt to print the message.

If nothing appears to print, I suspect the message is damaged in some way, as you state that others are printing ok.

Thomas's suggestion of having a different shortcut with the -A commandline option is your easiest bet here.

Cheers!

Please forgive me if this has been covered - I searched the site but couldn't find a post addressing this.  When trying to send jpeg photos as attachments, I get an error that appears to be because of size.  This happens even when I use a zip file as the attachment.  However, I can receive e-mails (that have numerous, unzipped jpeg files, or a large zip file) and view them in Pegasus.  Is there a default setting somewhere that would allow me to send out e-mails with larger attachments?  The error message is:

Delivery has failed on the enclosed message for the following
reasons reported either by the mail delivery system on the mail
relay host or by the local TCP/IP transport module:

   552 size limit exceeded

[/quote]

 

There is no size limit in Pegasus Mail.  Almost all ISPs though set a limit on size of a message received by their SMTP hosts. If you do a session log there will be a section showing their size limit.  This is a sample of what I see with GMail in a session log,

 

11:03:19.985 >> 0040 220 smtp.gmail.com ESMTP 35sm218440wra\0D\0A
11:03:19.000 << 0020 EHLO [192.168.1.2]\0D\0A
11:03:19.079 >> 0036 250-smtp.gmail.com at your service\0D\0A
11:03:19.079 >> 0019 250-SIZE 20971520\0D\0A
11:03:19.079 >> 0014 250-8BITMIME\0D\0A
11:03:19.079 >> 0022 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN\0D\0A
11:03:19.079 >> 0025 250 ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES\0D\0A

and it says they have size limit of 20, 971, 520 bytes.  Others are much smaller.

You don't need to re-index the NMF.  The only time you'll have issues with NMF is if you have more than 300 (I think) NM messages, at which point Pegasus Mail stops updating the folder.

[/quote]

The limit is 750, and all that happens is that the program stops updating the view AUTOMATICALLY. You can press Ctrl+W or click the "Open new mail folder" toolbar button at any time to force a rescan, no matter how many messages are in the folder.

Well.....

I tried copy/paste from a D-list in Notepad.

I tried typing the email addresses by hand in Notepad.

I tried exporting as CSV from a spreadsheet. 

 Either I get an extra "a" behind every email address (someone@hotmail.coma) or I get the error message: "A" is not a valid email address.

 This happens both on my PC and my laptop.

Can someone suggest a (pref. free) program that makes a text file without the extra "a"???

Thanks in advance

[/quote]

 

Editpad is an ASCII editor and should save as plain text.  That said, Notepad saves as plain text for me as well. 

Thanks, Han,

That works fine. I have Pegasus configured that way, which makes closing/reopening more convenient than deleting multiple folders one by one...

Accidental deletion would have dire consequences, since deleted folders don't end up in the Deleted... folder. But is there really any such risk?

The folder delete confirmation isn't disabled by the Ask for confirmation before deleting objects setting. In addition, for ordinary folders (not search results) this dialog is pretty safe, as there is no way to confirm deletion with a single click or keystroke.

Perhaps the issue could be brought up again - or am I missing something important here?

I had to scratch my head a little on this one - it's a while since I've used commandline delivery in WinPMail.

As best I can tell, there's no way of creating a window for a message from the commandline - you can only send the message. The usual intent with commandline operations is that they operate unattended, with no user interaction, and that's the way WinPMail's options work.

You could do this using the now ancient DDE interface in WinPMail (all these years on and I STILL haven't managed to understand COM well enough to implement it... *sigh*), but that would depend on your application being able to do that.

Another possibility (I haven't tried it though) is to use the WinPMail WSENDTO utility - just invoke it with the name of the file on the commandline and WinPMail should open with a new window set up with that file attached, waiting for you to address it. I don't think you can automate the subject if you do it this way, though.

Cheers!

Hi

I'd really want to run Mercury from Linux.

I installed Wine and Mercury, it runs but how do I configure the ports ?

When I switch between work desks, the Mercury GUI stops working, did you get that problem, probably a Wine configuration problem ?

I'm running Wine 0.9.46 on Ubuntu Linux 7.10.

Windows has failed me to often and it is to time consuming to fix it each time, the only thing I'd like to hold on to from Windows is Mercury. Any help would be much appreciated

Regards 

Jon

I gave up on trying to run using ports 25, 110, 143 as any user other then root because you cannot use these low ports as anything but root. My Linux system is only used as a server so I'm not switching users at all. 

There is probably some way to configure Linux to allow any user to bind these low ports but I sure am no Linux or Ubuntu expert and most of the info I find is either bad advice or incomprehensible.  I've not gotten anything at all that makes sense from the people at Wine either.
 

 
 

David,

I use RQF files daily (and I sing your praises for making life easier!), but I don't believe that the 4.41 Help entry for RQF has changed since early version 3. Your tip wrt MI: isn't in there; nor is ID: which allows sending from different identities. (Moreover, it says "no parameter may be omitted," but is that really the case?)  

Are there any other RQF parameters we might know about -- perhaps one that allows the use of environment variables? [g,d & r]

Thanks for the answer - I can see now what has happened.

I had set up a rule in the Mail Filter such that all incoming messages to one of my email addresses are direct to a specified folder, as it is set to check for several identities when pulling down the mail. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a workaround here so that only those particular emails are exempt from Spamhalter - or are there parameters in Spamhalter to do this?

Thanks for your help,

 David 

 

 

Code 227A is not a Winsock error message, the Url below lists all Winsock codes:

Using PM 4.4.1, Win XP Home SP2

I prefer all my mailboxs, folders, etc. to be sorted in reverse date order, i.e., old to new from top to bottom. I can do this, no problem, by clicking (once or twice, depending on the current sort) of the Date/Time column header, or by selecting "Sort by date" and "Sort in reverse order" from the Messages menu. Problem is, when new messages are added to the New Mail folder/box (only, apparently), it still puts the new messages at the top of the list despite my configured sort order. After retrieving new mail, I can check the Messages menu and it's still configured as I left it, but that's no longer the way the list is sorted. On other folders, it appears to insert any new messages (directed there via rules) at the bottom of the list as configured.

Q1 - Is there a way to enforce the sort order (refresh it, maybe?) in the New Mail folder (preview mode)?

[/quote]

 

CTRL+W will do, it's by design that new messages in the new mail folder sort on top, to prevent being lost in the sort order when many messages are in there. 

[quote]

Q2 - Is there a way to globally set all folders/boxes to a specific sort order, or do they have to be done individually, one at a time? 

[/quote]

 

No, but it's sticky, you need to do it only once for each folder you want that for.

 

I forgot to mention I'm using 4,41 on Windows XP sp2

Bless you Mr. Stephenson....I cannot thank you enough....or can I....LOL

I can't believe it was that simple.....I chose the middle one <g>

Appears to be working and I love this program.

Thanks again......the donation box will be clicked
