There's nothing garbled, it's just the HTML version of a message, and if it displays ok in Pegasus Mail I really wonder why it should not on other people's machines. Note that Pegasus Mail by default pastes in formatted text if available on the clipboard which enables the editor's Rich text option, you can avoid HTML parts from being created by unchecking the Rich text option or using paste special (Ctrl + Shift + V or context menu entry). There are also options for sending plain text messages (Tools => Options => Message formatting) or multipart/alternative (Tools => Options => Sending mail) which might help.

Hi -

I'm running PMail v4.51 on a Windows XP machine. Been using PMail for ages. Most of the time, everything is dandy, but every once in a while, someone gets an email I send and it's all garbled. I've included a sample below. It seems to be mostly when I copy/paste into an outgoing email, but that's the only defining factor I've noticed so far. I've tried different settings to no avail. Any suggestions?
