I've just begun using Mahogany -- it seems pretty powerful, but I
have a few questions. (I am running version 0.65 on Windows XP.)
1) Fonts and colors are not displaying right. I have set every
font option I can find to my font of choice, yet some test still displays
in a different font. In particular, when I reply to an email, the
attribution will often (but not always) display in some other font, and
sometimes when I begin to compose a message, my text will appear in this
other font. How can I say "always use THIS font for everything, never ever
use any other font for anything"?
Also, although I have turned off the option to color quoted text,
quoted text in emails I receive still displays in gray. I cannot find any
setting anywhere in the options which is set to gray (I even searched
through the registry and didn't find anything).
2) Sometimes -- I can't figure out what causes it -- a spurious
IMAP mailbox appears nested inside my normal IMAP mailbox. I will see two
folders: the real one, called "INBOX", and another one called "INBOX
(6,0)". The "(6,0" is NOT the unread/read message count -- it is actually
part of the name; the mailbox displays as "INBOX (6,0) (0,0)" or some such.
I tried to delete the mailbox but was told it could not be deleted, so I
chose to remove it from the tree view. However, it occasionally appears
again. I have sshed into my account and looked in the mail directory and
found nothing suspicious, so it seems it is a problem with mahogany.
3) The compose message window does not word wrap my text correctly.
It only wraps when inserting text at the end of a line. If I insert text
in the middle of a line, the line is extended beyond 75 characters and does
not wrap. This is not real word wrap.
4) Most annoyingly, the compose message window will sometimes
attempt to send my email at random, while I am in the middle of typing it.
The SMTP authentication box pops up suddenly even when I haven't hit the
send button. What is causing this, and how can I stop it from happening?
5) I have browsed through some of the mailing list archives and
found many people being told that their reported bugs were "known" and that
they should download and compile the latest CVS version. What is the
general timeline for when bug fixes are actually put into a new release?
Also, I gather from the download page that I should download the
win32 binary and overwrite my existing M.EXE file. Is this reversible?
Can I make a backup of my existing M.EXE and restore it if the CVS version
doesn't work? (I'm always a little leery of installing CVS snapshot
versions, which is why I'm asking about the release schedule.)
Thanks for the help.
