Hello all !

I am using Pegasus Mail for Windows 3.01b (16-bit). When I encrypt a
message which contains enclosures, the recipient is unable to decrypt
the attachment. If I send the message to myself, WinPMail opens two
decryption-dialog-windows. When I click o.k. in both windows, WinPMail
is terminated. It makes no difference if I use PGP/PGPJN or the
build-in-encryptor.

Any suggestions ?

BTW: I think, it would be nice, if one could see the time and the date
in the status-bar. What do you think ?

This is a known bug and is currently being analyzed for a fix (hopefully
for v3.01c).
Additionally, the built-in encryptor cannot encrypt attachments--a known
limitation.

??? The system time and date?  Like the one already available to Win95
environments?  ;-)
Why?  That space is quite crowded as it is--what the beta testers really
would like to see in there is the Insert/Overwrite toggle indicator, but
there isn't any room.  :-(
