I have added this little routine into Virscan 4.9.8 which will be available shortly. It will convert any %nn sequence less than %7F on subject lines with the intended character when a message is sent from Pegasus Mail. Characters will include  any blank, %, <, >, =, |,/,\ etc encoded with the %nn, but *not* the =xx sequence which indicates a Quoted-Printable byte

I have Pegasus set up as the default mailer in Windows XP.  When I click on an email link in my web browser (usually Firefox), Pegasus starts up and opens a new mail window with the address filled in -- just as expected.

 Lately, I've been running into more websites whose MAILTO: links have escaped characters in them -- i.e., "%20" for a space, "%22" for a quote, etc.  Pegasus currently places these directly into the address without translation, usually resulting in a bounced email unless I notice it and fix it manually.

 It would be nice if Pegasus could notice the presence of these escaped characters and translate them before filling in the address of the new email.

Check out http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/17437.aspx Although the issue discussed there is different from yours, I have a sneaking suspicion that the solution could be the same.

Good luck!

Thanks, Steffan, but no -- the mailto: option is already set to Pegasus' utility.  It's just passing the raw string on to Pegasus, instead of replacing %20 with space, etc.
