Deleting files in the RmtFiles folder

[quote user="Mike McCarthy"]... Every so often, when I synchronise the files, I see that there are a few (sometimes a lot) pairs of files in the Pmail\MAIL\RmtFiles folder with .cac and .tmp extensions. When Pegasus Mail closes down (normally), should these files be deleted automatically?[/quote]

These files are cached remote image files used by Pegasus Mail's HTML renderer BearHtml, their deletion depends on the setting of Cache-Days=... in BearHtml.ini (located in Pegasus Mail's program directory if you haven't created a user specific one, see Help => About Pegasus Mail => Info => WINPMAIL.EXE directory for the path). You may edit this file using a simple plain text editor like the system's NotePad (possibly renamed in recent versions of Windows). For learning more about BearHtml's options open an HTML (formatted) message, click into the message reader pane and press Shift + F1.

I copy my Pegasus Mail folders from computer to computer, as I move around. Every so often, when I synchronise the files, I see that there are a few (sometimes a lot) pairs of files in the Pmail\MAIL\RmtFiles folder with .cac and .tmp extensions. When Pegasus Mail closes down (normally), should these files be deleted automatically? If so, what am I doing wrong to prevent that happening?
