[Wine]Pegasus Mail hangs during minimizing/maximizing of window

Note: I use Pegasus Mail under OS/2 and Windows, not WINE or Linux ...

BUT I've used it for many years. Pegasus is very sensitive to printer 
drivers - especially the 4.x series. It checks with the printer driver 
before rendering email. It sounds to me like it is having some problem 
with the printer driver you are using.

The way to test this under Windows is to set up a plain text (generic 
TTY) printer as the default Windows printer, and see if the problem goes 
away. If it does, the problem lies with the printer driver. If it 
doesn't, its a problem with Pegasus' screen rendering. I don't know 
about the screen rendering in the 4.x series, but v3.12c and earlier had 
their own quirks in that area because Pegasus uses a Borland Windows 
Custom Controls DLL, and a flakey RTF/HTML editing component called TER 
that I understand is in the process of being replaced.

Sorry, I can't be of much help. For my use of Win-apps under Linux, I 
find Win4Lin more effective.
