I remember pmail in 1993, a nice colorfull pseudographics text toy. As a member of the Pegasus Mail tech support team, I do take exception to that remark. Pegasus Mail is live & well, and works just fine. You will find it supports In-reply-to headers. It is considered the most RFC compliant mail-tool on the market. Most of its problems have to do with non-compliant messages from outlook. (basically forcing non-compliance so that other mail tools are not compatable). (And its free!!) <Pause...While I go scan headers> Eee Gads. Dmitry. You are using Pegasus Mail 3.50 for Dos??? Alas, that version is no longer supported. The lastest version is 3.12c for windows. Version 4.0 is due out within the next several weeks (that is the version I am using now). You should seriously consider upgrading (www.pmail.com). But, if DOS is the requirement 3.50 should work just fine for you. I'll check to see if 3.50 supports reply- to.
