IERenderer Version 2.6.5.8
  • This version mainly fixes an issue with image download redirection causing download failures even if opting otherwise per confirmation dialog.
  • It also corrects the wording in the respective dialog for asking whether to download images by sender instead of download domain to avoid multiple prompts for a single message. This may include selected up to all download domains depending on which ones are redirected and at what position in a certain message.
  • Wiping the image file cache will now also reset the redirection block list to the entries from the BlockList.ini file stored in the current Pegasus Mail user's New mailbox location (see Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info for the file path). The temporary block list maintained per session will be flushed.
  • IER's Cache-path selection dialog has been enhanced to allow creation and editing of new paths by users.
  • Another image URL verification issue causing a "SafeCallException" has been fixed.

I'm just appending another note here about the results of redirection blocking: You will certainly every now and then be wondering about the somewhat erratic download results you're going to see, but since there's no way to tell in advance which downloads will be redirected unless doing pretty time consuming pre-scans of all image URLs in a message you may see messages showing up with all sorts of mixed download results. I'm further open to suggestions if anyone has a brilliant idea about what else to do about this.


Please put this version through your tests so we quickly know whether there's still a need for any urgent pre-release fixes before getting out Pegasus Mail v4.8.


- This version mainly fixes an issue with image download redirection causing download failures even if opting otherwise per confirmation dialog. - It also corrects the wording in the respective dialog for asking whether to download images _by sender_ instead of download domain to avoid multiple prompts for a single message.

With new version it is ok again, images will be shown directly after loading. thx


I have just one funny thing with my amazon mails. The buggy version this .5.8 showed me this morning that amazon redirect images and I have to agree.
The version .5.9 now directly load this images, no dialog for redirection.
On other mails redirection dialog will be shown normal.


So not sure if this is a bug or just normal.
Could be that it was no real redirection and now it is correct? Or redirection will not be recognized anymore. You have my mail there is one html sample of this amazon mails inside.


And not that I have before some problems on that but for info the wipe cache function works correctly, all data will be deleted.

Nope, I've added some new code for blocking tracking pixels (also known as Web beacons) which are 1x1 size graphics used for tracking purposes: Your Amazon message contains two of these, one at its beginning and the other one at its end. They aren't displayed and the URLs replaced with a resource URL (a pixel within IER itself) so IER doesn't attempt to download them anymore which is most probably why you don't get prompted for redirection either, so I guess we're now "killing two birds with one stone" (in Germany we're only killing flies, though ...smile).

Pegasus v4.81 Beta

Hi Michael,
is there a reason why IER 2.6.5.9 is included in English and not in German in the package of the new German version of PMail 4.8?

I'm sorry, I didn't test with the German version, it's all there but doesn't get loaded for whatever reason. But anyway, David Harris need to release another update anyway and I'm having several minor fixes and enhancements already prepared as well. Thanks for reporting!

OK, I didn't have a chance to figure out that the German language module had been renamed for the release after testing the first German beta version (at least that's what I remember), that's why IER doesn't recognize the German version.
