Hallo,

first, excuse my stumbling English. Please ask if the description is not understandable.

I use Pegasus Mail 4.51 German Full version (not Beta) at Windows 2000.

If I use the preview attachment the width of the column for the filename is to small so that I can not read the whole filename:

Preview 

I use the mouse to wide the column width for filename to get this preview for attachments:

My preview

I close Pegasus. If I open Pegasus the next the preview is still so small like in the first picture.

The option in the menu Extras - Settings - Mail display - Always save the used windows sizes and positions is active but has no influence to the width of the columns in the preview for attachments.

How can I save the column width in the preview for attachments?

With best regards,

Lisa

The secret is to do the save when the inner window is not maximised.  Restore it by clicking on the middle size button in the top right of the frame, then adjust the edges so that it fills the window.  Make your column changes then close the program.  Next time it will remember your colum settings, so maximise it again and you are done.

<edit> Sorry, this method doesn't work on the attachment preview window.  I should have tested it first :(

Hallo Paul,

thank you for your answer. It's a pity that there is no solution for this effect. So I will wait for the next version ;)

Best regards,
