Been a P-mail user since the 1990's and love it. Never had a virus get through and just love the program. And yes paid for a copy also.
I lost this feature a while back and thought it was my old computer. Well got a new Dell XPS and loaded the latest Pmail. Now I did copy over my complete MAIL folder and everything works great. But the same problem is there. When adding an attachment the select a file dialog box opens and I go to select a file it will not let me pick more then one file. It use to work fine about a year or so ago. Any ideas.
Thanks
Go to Tools/Options/Advanced settings and tick the box maked 'Allow multiple file selection..'.
This setting was introduced in 4.41 because of conflicts with Adobe software. If it works, all is fine, else uncheck the box and select them singly.
Hello!
This is easy to solve, I hope.
Go to "Tools" | "Options" | "General settings" | "Advanced settings" where you find the option "Allow multiple file selection when adding attachments". Checkmark that option.
It is disabled by default and was introduced in version 4.41 (as far as I can remember).
The reason that option was added was a problem with adding several attachments at a time: adding more than one attachment could make Pegasus Mail crash. However, that was not a bug in Pegasus Mail itself, but in the then version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (one of their early 7.x-versions, I think). That version of the Acrobat Reader had a bug concerning the file explorer window (the window you also see when choosing your files to atach). That bug could make other applications crash.
Read what the help page "Advanced settings" says about this:
Allow multiple file selection when adding attachments: If you have installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 on your computer, then there is a high likelihood that your Windows XP system will crash any time any application attempts to present the version of the standard Windows "Open File" dialog that allows multiple files to be selected. This is NOT a bug in Pegasus Mail - it is a bug in another vendor's product that AFFECTS Pegasus Mail. Because we can't have our program crashing unexpectedly on our users when we can avoid it, we have disabled multiple selection of files by default to work around this problem. If your system is not affected by this problem (either because you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed or because Adobe finally get around to fixing the problem), then you can check this control to re-enable multiple file selection when adding attachments. We suggest using this control with care.
