PGP Extension for Pegasus Mail 6.0.1.1 [completely rewritten] released
Version 6.0.1.1 / 6-2007 (30.06.2007):
- This version provides a completely rewritten extension with lots of fixes
and optimizations including a new installer. You may especially note some
user interface changes and PGP/MIME resp. S/MIME related display
enhancements and maybe some faster processing. On the other hand you may
notice that some features won't work (properly) with Windows versions prior
to XP or older Pegasus Mail versions, mainly v3.x: Some issues can be fixed
by downloading and installing the modules listed in the v5.1 section below,
but the character set support provided by Pegasus Mail's WPM-LMTT.RSC has
been removed for reducing the program's complexity (and isn't required
anymore since Pegasus Mail 4.3 anyway). As this version has only been tested
by a few people so far it may still contain some bugs, but it shouldn't
break any really important features. Please don't hesitate to contact me if
you encounter serious problems.
- NB: The non-English setups always contain the English resources as well,
the French version currently still lacks a translated help manual (and does
not work with Pegasus Mail v3).
- PS: The Pegasus Mail shutdown delay is back: While I still don't know what
exactly causes it I got the impression that the faster shutdown of the
previous version was due to some kind of "silent crash". Sorry ...

Hello,
Previous versions did not "Encrypt to Self".
How can that function be returned?
Pegasus "Copies to Self" are always cleartext.
Why is "Charset" comment included?
Thank you.

It *always* did, I haven't changed this, and it's mentioned in the help
manual ever since, if you don't believe me take a look at

See the link above as well, Pegasus Mail doesn't support this (it may have
worked in 3.x or previous versions, I don't remember).
> Why is "Charset" comment included?
Because most people in the world don't speak English: Encypted text is
armored which causes email clients to add a MIME charset header claiming the
text to be "US-ASCII" which may not be correct for the decrypted text and
result in it becoming unreadable (this happened after Pegasus Mail started
to use "libiconv" recently: 8bit characters simply "disappeared" until I
started working around this). PGP itself re-introduced this feature in it's
9.5.x versions, if I remember correctly it already existed in the
pre-Windows era (2.6.x versions). For more details see
.
