@Bruce
Before Pegasus Mail didn't save sent attachments, has this changed?

I've been a satisfied Pegasus Mail user for 15+ years.

Version 4.7 is now out.

The supported versions of windows have changed. To quote from the website:

"Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP or Vista; we believe Windows 7 poses no problems, although we have not yet done extensive testing on that platform. Please note that Windows 95 is NOT supported."

v4.41

In development since 1990, still free and still going, this mail client absolutely needs to be in TPFC...

Not entirely portable adds various keys to the registry. Search using 'Pegasus Mail' in regedit and you'll see.

I find it very full free email client as long as you don't use IMAP. IMAP with Pegasus mail is way too slow.
Please DO correct me if I'am wrong, and also GUI glitches appeared from time to time.

Just saw this last statement today. You're somewhat wrong J44xm.
Pegasus Mail does support languages of different "alphabets", like Hebrew (LTR), Russian, Korean and Japanese (can't swear as I don't speak any of them), even in late versions. After adopting Unicode (among 26 other charsets) it extended its support much further.
Besides this charset thing, there's nothing out there that matches Pegasus Mail power and functionality. It's the One mailing system, not just a mailer.
And BTW, it's quite alive and well. New versions are on their way. See for yourself. ;^)
