Hi,

I want to set the default mail client with parameters. I know you can use
IE to set default mail client by choosing from a list, but what if I want to
tot he equivalent of

"C:\Program Files\pegasus mail\winpm-32.exe" -I chrisp
 
Mike,

If you look in the Pegasus Mail Workstation Setup it says that setup can set
it as the default mail handler except in Microsoft Office apps, which use a
different handlind system

To set it manually as the defaul mail handler can be done via the registry

Click START
Click RUN
Type 'regedit (without quotes) & click OK
Navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command

Double-click the 'default' key

(surround the path with double quotes (") & then add your command line
attributes after:

Example:

"C:\Program Files\pegasus mail\winpm-32.exe" -I chrisp

Click OK
Exit the registry editor & restart to use the changes

Note: That 'I' means Identity & only works in standalone mode. For all
switches look in the winpm-32 help manual. At the base of the index is a
link to all command line switches

I am looking in Version 4.41 of Pegasus Mail.

For the latest version:
