Hello! [quote user="Eliel Salles"]

The text color option for replies only work when I use this option with the quoted sign ">" checked. When I uncheck "Prefix text included from the original with ">" markers the text color is always the default (black).[/quote] Note that the different colours you see there is at your end; this is probably totally different from what is displayed at the receiving end.

Speaking of text-only messages, I can say that the difference in colours is more a visual hint than a real formatting; you should not think of it as a formatting style, but simply a visual clue.
The receiver will get a message that contains a quote, and each line of the quote is indicated by ">", whereas the maintext (=the text you have written) has no ">" before it. However, there is probably not much more that can be predicted: perhaps, the receiver uses a similar colour set that indicates a quote by a different colour...or he does not anything like that, so he will tell quoted and unquoted text simply by ">" (without any colour difference).

If I understand correctly, you want a solution that results in the same layout and display for both you (as the author of the message when writing the message) and the receiver (when reading your message). I am not really sure about that, but I think you have to write an HTML-reply then.

[quote] I usually reply to clients inquiries using a different color. The problem I am having is that for every message I reply I have to setup the color manually. The quoted sign ">" often messes up the message's format and I would prefer not having to use it. [/quote] Well, are you replying to HTNL-mails? If so, you may want to test whether the preserving option is helpful to you.
When replying, you will see a "Reply options"-window. One of the options is "For replies to HTML; preserve the original's formatting". This is what teh help file says about that option:

When this control is checked, Pegasus Mail will examine the message to which you are replying: if it is an HTML message containing graphics or formatting of any kind, it will insert it into the message preserving the formatting it contains. When doing this, it is no longer possible to prefix lines from the original with ">" markers, and that setting will be ignored. The original message will be inserted complete with all its formatting below a line [...]. This setting only applies to HTML messages containing formatting - it is ignored for non-HTML messages.

As the ">"-markers ignored (and not added at all), you may try and find out whether that option prevents your replies from getting messed (given that you are replying to an HTML-message).

[quote] I tried to modify the line Commenting string = "> " in the pmail.ini file but the program brings the default sign back.[/quote] As far as I know, the string is one of the options that depend on the identity. If that is true, you would have to edit the whole "pmail.ini"; at least, you would have to edit all commenting string settings you can find in "pmail.ini".

This shouldn't take much effort, and would be soo useful!

TIA :)

 Edit: At present, the closest you can get is through a reply template:

Title Custom Header
set To = "~r"
set Subject = "Re: ~s"
string fullsender "" "" 0 Address
string sendername "" "" 0
set variable fullsender = "~f"
extract text fullsender sendername
insert "On ~kDate~, ~vsendername~ wrote:~z"
insert "~z"
include message 0 quoted noheaders

which results in

The date/time format is taken "as is" from the original message's header, but at least you don't need to manually look up the timezone in the raw message text.

[/quote]

As stated the template is only partial solution because the reply is addressed only to the name & address in the From field.  This bypasses the Custom Reply Menu where you can conveniently send the reply to names & addresses in any of the following fields, e.g. From, Reply to,  CC, To, Sender.

There's already a thread running on this on one of the other boards:

 

http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/510.aspx

 

Also, someone in that thread links to a statement on the matter on the Pegasus Mail website.

 

It sounds unlikely right now. FWIW, if you'll be using the GNOME desktop I find Evolution to be fine, and more stable than it used to be. It's not likely to be lacking features you might want--although it may have too many for some tastes, since it's a full-blown PIM. The standard KDE mailer is fine, too--although again they followed the PIM model, and it's a bit cumbersome. If a PIM is more than you want, I hear very good things about Claws Mail. There's a nice run-through of MUAs for Linux in this podcast:

 

http://www.linuxreality.com/podcast/episode-21-email-clients/ 

 

Some people have got Pegasus Mail to run under Wine, as you'll see from the thread I linked above. I haven't been particularly successful with that myself--I get frequent crashes, and for some reason Pegasus can't communicate with one of the mail servers I use when running under Wine. But you might like to give that a try.

 

 

Is this address displayed as a formed E-Mail address, green & underlined on my screen YMMV ?

 If so then right click > save to clipboard > open Dlist ("F6") > search (paste from clipboard)

there is probably a better way but tiis does work
 

Sorry for the delay. We're trying to figure out when this problem does and does not crop up.  Apparently messages from mail.ru are now coming through correctly. I have to find out if my mother-in-law in Russia can send messages via the Russian version of Outlook, but she's in the village on holiday.  As soon as I can get her to send a message, I'll be able to give an update.

 

Good evening !

Thank you very much for this quick answer. You saved me a lot of trouble and time. Maybe this link could be inserted into a sticky post for everyone to see ?

Best !

I wish there was a simple button that would strip out all the graphics within an e-mail when I go to save or move it to a folder.  I have more and more e-mails that have graphic fillers that do not need to be in my archive.  If it had preselected file extensions to strip this would be even better.

Coach

pmuser hit it on the head. 

I want to do backups but have to deal with scattered files.  Moving MAIL to my documents allows for less schattering.  Multiuser mode is not an issue for me but I understand it will be for others should you do this.  I have no suggestions as to how to remedy the multiuser issue other than not relying on the MAIL subdirectory to provide for the multiusers subdirectories into the future. Perhaps a file in the program files/pmail that determines mulit/solo info and directs accordingly. 

I do want to move my MAIL file though with minimal difficulty. 

It would also get ya to fix that Easter Egg problem that you mentioned  :-)

Wait for the page to load

Then scroll down, find and click on the "Pegasus Mail Community Support" link

I think that the link would be more useful if it went directly to:

Hello! [quote user="joel"]

Hi,

How can I avoid such a chunk of attachment info (below) being included -- it confuses some people -- and why is the type "unknown"? There's no place I can see to set the file type when I insert the GIF in the signature. thanks!

 

The following section of this message contains a file attachment
prepared for transmission using the Internet MIME message format.
If you are using Pegasus Mail, or any other MIME-compliant system,
you should be able to save it or view it from within your mailer.
If you cannot, please ask your system administrator for assistance.

Will do David!

 BTW -  nice mug shot!

Hi !

Well, maybe this will surprise you, but I am far from being an experienced user of Pegasus Mail (and there are several posts here to prove this claim [:)]). I discovered it two weeks before its end was announced. This strange feature was a bit annoying in the beginning, but weighted against the tremendous power of the rest of the features of the program, it became really something minor. However, as I said, I will write (or try) to Microsoft and we will see what happens. Right now, I do not have the time. Also, if there is anyone here on this forum who has any connection with a tech guy working for Microsoft, please come forward. Yes, so to get back to the subject, this something bothering, but you get use to it pretty fast. Similarly, there is another strange behaviour when you open the filter page, you have to wait quite a bit of time to have the side moving rectangle. Is there a way to fix this ?

Bye !

Ginhead. 

I'm using version 4.5 and it's still a pain to use bcc in conjunction with to and cc.  It shouldn't be this hard. 

 This message provided to motivate David to working 28 hours per day in place of the slovenly 26 hours per day.

 Cheers!

May not be relevant - but after 'From' on my outgoing messages and after 'To' on replies the word 'search' now appears.  Don't know how or why!  Would love to be able to rectify error as some of my messages are now being deleted by recipients as a consequence!  Any ideas?

I understand that Pegasus mail is not loaded all inside memory.

But pleaase consider situation, when you have pegasus mail installed locally and you have remote mailbox.

I do not remember other application that silly exits with general protection fault during network unplug. May be that the crashing place might be located and there might be displayed some message box that asks user abort application/retry or something like this.

Every defined way how application finishes is much more better than GPF.

Without source code (and even with it) it is difficult to say more.

 

Anyway it is practically impossible to have network without faults. Somebody reconnects cables in a rack, somebody kicks to a cable etc .... First thing that I am noting is Pmail's GPF ..

 

 

 

 

Hello there,

Pegasus Mail already has an external interface. It is defined in the Extensions toolkit available on this website under Download/Pegasus Mail/ Add-ons. A new interface model will be coming out which will define more access to internal objects.

Also if you are more familiar with VBA, you could consider programming using DDE to communicate with Pegasus Mail from another application program. 

There will be a VBA code snippet available (in the downloads area) this weekend to show how MS Word can use Pegasus Mail as its mailer

Is it anything to do with what you actually put in the "My internet email address is:" box? For example I have my email address, plain and simple, with no embellisments (i.e. no name, no < or > round it). However when I receive email it normally has either "John McCabe <my email address>" or just "<my email address>". Is Pegasus clever enough to strip the email address out of strings like these before comparing it against the "My internet email address is:" box contents, or does it just compare the whole string?

 If I was to put "John McCabe <my email address>" in the "My internet..." box would it work?

 John

My bad, I was thinking of the Mercury plugin version which is what I typically use (I used it long before the Pegasus version was added so I've stuck with it).  I'm surprised the Pmail version doesn't include this feature...

 

We offer our employees a interface to their mail, working in conjuction with Mercury32.  A lot of employees also like Mail2Web, a free webmail service that works with just about all email accounts.

[quote user="Ginhead"]

My first question is maybe a little stupid, but how do you know when a folder is open or closed ? It is only for trays that we can see if it is open or close, at least for me so far.

Thanks !

Ginhead.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.  I have been out of town without the puter for several weeks.  Talk about TORTURE!!

Anyway, if you have not found a solution to this yet I hope this will work for you.  On the left side of the main pmail window you have a list of folders, one of which is the "New Mail" folder.  If you have installed the new mail filtering rule (I think you want the expression filter) to be applied when folder is closed you simply double click the "new mail" folder and it will open displaying all the messages within.  Now, when you close it all the "apply when folder is closed" rules will activate.  I think this should work for you or perhaps I am not exactly clear on what you're trying to do.
