Default settings in Pegasus Mail
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In previous versions of Pegasus Mail, a file called DEFAULTS.PM was used to
manage default settings for new users. DEFAULTS.PM offered only a very
limited range of customizations and wasn't generally very satisfying.

Under Pegasus Mail v3.2 for DOS and v1.2 for Windows, a new text-based .INI
format is used to store user preferences. The same file format can be used
to default almost any aspect of the program's operation, using the
following steps:

1: Login as a guinea-pig user. You might want to create a temporary
   account for doing this.

2: Run Pegasus Mail for DOS and/or for Windows (they share the same
   file) and set them up in exactly the way you would like them to
   appear to your users. Things you will typically change are
   preferences settings, and message settings (such as copy-to-self
   and so on).

3: Quit, and change to the guinea-pig user's new mail folder in
   SYS:MAIL/USERID. Locate the file called PMAIL.INI.

4: Copy PMAIL.INI to the same directory as PMAIL.EXE and WINPMAIL.EXE
   under the name PMDFLTS.INI.

5: Edit the file using any text editor and remove the "Personal name"
   setting. We also recommend that you remove the Window positioning
   settings for the Windows version of Pegasus Mail.

That's all there is to it! New users will now pick up all the settings
in this file the first time they run Pegasus Mail for DOS or Windows.
