Hi there,

  Firstly to point out that the filename reported by Pegasus Mail (the Dot) is not done when you double click the attachment entry. PMIcal does not get involved until the user causes the attachment to be associated with an application, and then the application can be invoked with the extracted file.  This is identical to the Mail filter rules where an application can get triggered by a rule firing, and the *.CNM file path details are passed as a parameter (%s).  

   The problem is that a user on the Pegasus Mail Attachments list page will select a part they are interested in and then click Open. It is silent (failed Open). If they click Save they get a Save dialog and can Save As anything they want. But how do they determine what the content of the file is?  Well they can do a  Raw View, and wade through all the Mime parts and then do a selective copy of the vCalendar content, invoke Notpad and save it. Then in Windows Explorer, find the just-created file and double-click it (if the file association with PMIcal is present) and wake up PMIcal.  Way too much.

So I am doing a review of the various processes involved in PMIcal and may well re-design the workflow 

I hope this starts to clarify the problems, generated by Microsoft mainly, are causing me.   P.S The same problems, to a lesser extent, occur with vCard streams from exporting Microsoft and Apple Contacts.

I setup my user account here just to reply to this thread and say THANK YOU!!!!

This is the 2nd time in 6 months that Verizon required a change to a Pegasus setting to keep working.

Thank you for your help; 'tis appreciated.

I too (and others) had the same problem, and found the solution you mentioned after trial and error. See the link <http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/20732.aspx>

The Pegasus Mail IMAP function needs to be simplified, as many E-mail services are using IMAP now.

[quote user="StanH"].... The only way I can think to explain this result is that maybe prior to that copying, XP's winpn-32.exe was reading the mailbox location from the local-XP directory, but interpreting it as being in C:\PMAIL\MAIL\~n on W7? I know that is contrary to your explanation but it is the only thing I can think of. Later today I will run a test by renaming the W7 local PMAIL.CFG before trying to start PM with the link on W7 that starts winpm-32.exe on XP.[/quote]I confirmed that when using a link from W7 to run the XP's winpm-32.exe, the mailbox location is obtained from the XP's PMAIL.CFG. I did this by renaming the W7's PMAIL.CFG so that XP had the only file by that name available.

Try to change the paths with PCONFIG.EXE in your PMAIL\PROGRAMS-Directory. (PCONFIG is an old 16-bit-application, so you will  need VirtualXP oder a DOS-Emulator (www.dosbox.com) on 64-bit systems...

Hi Michael,

The browser (Firefox) settings are identical on both computers - the only difference being the XP / Win 8 OS.

Thanks,

I was getting access violation messages when using Firefox with BearHTML, but this ceased (so far) when I dumped Firefox. 

Received the bad message.   Found a missing tag, and sent the partly fixed up message back. Will work on finding a fix for this problem (Tidy should have picked up on this one)

Yes - it was:

bye   Olaf

Quick follow up:  the gmail problem has, ehh, disappeared, stopped?!   No software has been installed or removed.  I have done nothing since my last post.  I have no clue what happened here.  Be well.

Thanks again, Martin. Fortuantely, they were NOT saved in the New Mail folder. That would have been a disaster - 46,000+ other files where they would be lost for sure.They went to a TEMP folder, of course, not one of the many TEMP folders that I knew about. But, certainly better than the New Mail folder.

 The big drawback for my purposes was the inability to display To, From, Subject and Date, so I am painstakingly renaming each file to make it more identifiable without having to open it. A spreadsheet will contain the details of each file. Not a particularly pretty solution, but a solution nonetheless. Thank you for your utility. It was worth a hundred times... no, a thousand times the cost.

I have manually split files before, but there is no way I would have done it with this mess. By the way, did I say "Thank you?"

The default SPAMBust.dat is created for English speaking areas not for the German site.

I don't need those rules.

I guess it is time wasting to check all rules without result in a German spam mail.

I only need one rule to activate the blacklist. I explained it in a post above. So I check the subject. That is faster as a check of the body. ;O))

The rules in the default SPAMBust.dat are good to learn the syntax, but nothing more.

That is the disadvantage when a program is translated to other languages.

Thank you, Brian. Did the trick. Much appreciated. Lydia

Have you tried accessing the actual document once it has been saved?? Maybe it doesn't show the extension because you have the setting as hidden, but you'll still be able to access it. You can manually change or add the extension though, this might help:

This is definetely not an issue. This ackward windows explorer behaviour of hiding extensions and system files does not fool me :)  I actually use TotalCommander for browsing the file system.

A sample of the generated email follows below.

Message will remain

available for 3-5 days after which it will be deleted...

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE "SUBJECT" LINE OR

THE "TO" LINE...

• To RELEASE & WHITELIST

  Sender

• To DELETE the e-mail, click here.

• To DELETE &

I searched the Pegasus files  on both computers and I don't have any .PNV files.

Answering your second question first:  Yes they must be in 8.3 format ie  a1234567.cnm

Now to answer your first question.  If the messages are not in the correct naming format, you should still be able to download them via FTP or some other tool   Required fields are simply:  From: To: Subject: Date: Mime: Content-type Content-encoding:     there are others but not as important

Body text follows first blank line

Have been using Pegasus for about 15 years and love it (and have supported it).

Recently a problem cropped up. The situation:

Running 4.7, just today upgraded from 4.6; makes no difference.

I have options set to Ask at send time where to put copy to self.

Recently, ie for about the past month, sometimes (but not always) when replying to a msg, after indicating where to put the copy to self, the system ALSO puts one (or sometimes more than one) copy of the message in my (imap) INBOX folder.

I can of course simply delete these, but I'd rather find out what might be wrong that's making this happen.

I have no copy-to-self rules.

Any ideas/suggestions?

thanks

[quote user="Neil Fraser"]Ticking the "For replies to HTML, preserve original's formatting" makes no significant difference, especially where the original text is contained in a <table> as appears to be the case quite often.[/quote]

Take a look at the final message which will look quite different from what it looks like in the editor. You can do so by copying the queued message to another folder (Delete messages, e.g.) which will apply the final formatting.

Rob thank you for posting this as I did the same thing and without your comments I would still be trying to figure it out duh~!  It was me~! Now I remember dragging it down to read a long list of recipients and copying them and guess I forgot to drag it back up. blush.
