The message is separate from the .doc file and is explanatory in nature
relating to, say, a complex legal .doc file with annotations.

As you will see from my reply to Mark I am hopeful that removing header
and footer text has resolved the issue. The header was shown as the
message and the message as an attachment. So fingers crossed.

I also have Claws lockups but never found out why. Most unladylike as
even the Force Quit button is rendered nonop. PMail is way ahead of
Sylpheed or its more popular cousin Claws in terms of features. With a
floating window structure I would not say it resembled either. It is my
own favourite on Win for handling heavy mail loads, but then I am only
just looking at mutt and never have seen alpine! More like Mark's
Popcorn from a look at his screenshot.

thanks

Hi,

that the message does not show up on page 1 as it were and has to be

Pegasus Mail users can be satisfied to see the message on page 1 as

see.


Just one question, does the message consist entirely of the aforementioned 
content?


Also, note that I've seen Sylpheed basically choke on a message if the 
message was HTML only with no straight text as well - normally this 
happens in attachment view.  I haven't used Pmail in years, so I don't 
remember if the layout is anything similar.

[Mailman-Users] Pegasus Mail does not show message except as an attachment

2011-11-16 Thread Anne Wainwright
Hi,

This occurs on one list that I administer. In fuller detail we have two
issues.

Members want to send .doc file attachments, (and html emails too) and
of course have them arrive. If I have content filtering on & which
allows .doc file attachments then members using Pegasus Mail complain
that the message does not show up on page 1 as it were and has to be
found among the tree of attachments. Under different content filtering
Pegasus Mail users can be satisfied to see the message on page 1 as
it were, but the .doc attachments are no longer there for any one to
see.

I can see the messages plain and clear in Claws email and the .doc
files are of course shown as attachments. I conclude that Pegasus is
somehow at fault in its display of the message as an attachment instead
of as the body of the message (my terminology may be lacking here).

I have searched but can find no answer, do other users find display
issues of mailman content filtered posts with Pegasus Mail?

If I have content filtering off, Pegasus Mail users suffer the same
display issue.

The list has run for years with no complaints. Recently the issue of
sending .doc files has just been raised and it is the provision of pass
rules that seem to put Pegasus users in a whirl.
