Filter spam

In comp.mail.pegasus-mail.ms-windows, Peter Finney recommends popfile: "I regularly get over 99.5% accuracy with Popfile — highly recommended and easy to integrate with Pegasus." ((gpime19grc7cnesmm61kai82o0lacoo5fb@4ax.com, 2005-07-30))

Check Attachments for Virus

Use the Virscan add-in, with this line in the virscan.ini file:

CmdLine="c:\progra~1\grisoft\avgfre~1\avgw.exe /se /quit %f"

How to ...

Delete an attachment

This can be done only from the New Mail folder. Move the message back there (if it's not already there), delete the attachment(s) one by one, accept the modifications, and move the clean message back to its folder.

Customize the toolbar

You'll need to edit a file toolbar.pm in your mailbox directory. See Codes to be used for a customized Button panel or Toolbar, or resource\bpanel.txt under the Pegasus program directory. (The Web page lists some codes that aren't in bpanel.txt, but the ones that are listed have different numbers.)

Some sample toolbars with source code are available here.
