Thanks for feedback. Bearhtml does not support IFrame, but is it fetching remote graphic files, and showing a counter of downloads cmpleted?

"Hello, my name is David and I am a Windows® addict"
That said, as a recovering Windows® addict I am busy migrating to all Linux systems. Only problem was when my buddy asked me why I needed Windows®, my only answer was my beloved PMail. Have been using it since I finally switched from Win3.x to Win95 back in the olden days and have found no reason to change.
So how to switch to Linux and still be able to use Pmail? Wine is the answer (on so many levels). Linux can be intimidating some times with lots of command line interfaces and such, and doesn't always like to play well with Windows® based applications. Fortunately for me, in the setup I am using I had absolutely NO problems (Well maybe one)
Setup is as follows:
Machine: Old Dell Dimension 4600i 10gb drive 1gb ram
Os: Linux Fedora 17 XFCE spin
Wine ver. 1.5.11
PMail ver. 4.63
Actions:
Downloaded and installed Wine
Downloaded latest version of PMail and installed via Wine interface
Run PMail via link installed on desktop
Results:
Pmail attempts to open and hangs on installing new IE html-renderer
Actions:
Close Pmail and uninstall html-renderer via Wine interface
Restart PMail via desktop icon
Results:
"Bob's Your Uncle" There it is, pretty as you please
One last step and a hint
Grab your old (Windows® Install) files from the "Mail" folder and stick them in the new (Linux Install) "Mail" folder to move all your mail and settings (Described elsewhere in this forum)
Hint: I had a heck of a time finding where Wine installed the PMail files. By default Wine creates a false drive for the Win default c: drive. If you look in your /Home/Username/Wine you will find another dir named drive_c and if you open it you will find what looks like a typical Win installation (Program Files Users etc) but no PMail dir (as you would expect with default install) Where is it? For whatever reason, there is actually a hidden directory in your /Home/Username/ directory called .wine (notice the dot preceding the name) This requires you have show hidden directories and files turned on to find it. If you open that dir and the dig down to drive_c low and behold there is PMail under C: root right where its supposed to be. Dump your old files in the Mail folder and your done.
I was suprised at how smooth this all went (Your Mileage May Vary)
Did you try using Bearhtml 4.6.8.16 from the Community site instead of IERenderer? It does not need IE libraries. It does use WinInet for Internet access though, so I would be interested to hear if it works for you.
