Exceedingly minor correction to prior post: her rev is 4.12a, not 4.12c, not that it probably impacts the answer.

Hiya,

My wife is on PMail 4.12c. I want to update her to a newer rev, but first I need to sort out a problem.

She has two messages stuck in the queue. This was the result of two attempts to paste some text from a Word doc into mail and send. In each case she received an error (now lost in the sands of time) but the third time she clued in that it might be a format issue, changed some format option in Peg (probably to rich text or something) and posted the message successfully.

Ever since, she's been left with two "shell" messages in the queue. They have no content or address or anything. If she opens the queue and deletes them, they just come back.

How do I nuke these without messing something else up?

Thanks,

-=s

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to locate the HOME mail
    directory.

2.  Use File Manager or Explorer and go to this directory and delete the
    zero length PMO, PMX and PMW files.
