And that did the trick.. thanks muchly Tom! [H]

On pseudo-wife's computer, using Pegasus 4.12, Windows XP Pro, when switching from Folder View to Preview the window comes up showing only the upper right portion of the "messages" frame, and only the right-most part of that frame.. (part of the subject bar, date/time and size). Resizing or maximizing window doesn't help,

I thought the CTRL (-) tip regarding default column widths might bring some joy, but while it gave me access to the right side of the columns of the message list frame, alas,  for everything to the left and below (and I do mean everything, no folders view window to the left,  no message content window below..), nada.. still only can see the right half (+/-) of the subject bar, and the bars to the right..

Was working fine long time, neither she nor I know what happened, what she was doing when it went haywire..

Tried changing screen resolutions, opening/closing pegasus, rebooting, even randomly hitting keys, with and without CTRL and/or ALT (desperate, eh? I fixed most of the fallout from that, still that silly preview window problem though). Everything else seems fine..

Who has the magix fix?

1.    Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info and note the HOME mail directory.

2.    Exit WinPMail and go to your HOME mail directory. 

3.    Open the file state.pmj for editing.  Go to the [General] section and delete the V4FP= lines then save and exit. 

You'll get the defaults when you restart WinPMail.
