The XClose32 extension for 32-bit Pegasus Mail has four features which can be
individually enabled or disabled.

1. The "hard to close" feature will, as it does in Mercury/32, cause Pegasus
Mail to become minimized when the user selects the system menu's "Close",
clicks the title bar's "X", or presses <Alt-F4>.  When this feature is in use
Pegasus Mail can be closed by selecting "Exit" on the "File" menu.

2. The "dismissible tray icon" feature makes it possible to dismiss the
Pegasus Mail tray icon popup menu via <Esc> or a stray mouse click.

3. The "tray to foreground" feature causes Pegasus Mail to appear in the
foreground when the user double-clicks the tray icon.

4. The "start minimized" feature will minimize Pegasus Mail after startup.

Features 1, 2, and 3 are enabled by default.  Changing the enabled feature
set requires editing XCLOSE32.FFF.  Here is an excerpt from XCLOSE32.FFF
describing how to do that.

	;  The string "Form data" (below) will be converted to an integer and
	;  interpreted as a collection of bit-flags.  To achieve a desired
	;  feature set, create an appropriate "Form data" specification by
	;  combining the following values using addition.
	;
	;   1 - make Pegasus Mail hard to close
	;   2 - allow dismissal of tray popup menu
	;	4 - ensure foreground after tray double-click
	;   8 - minimize Pegasus Mail at startup
	;	so for example, "15" means all of the above
	;   16, 32, 64, ... - reserved for future use
	
	;  default - change this as you see fit
	
	Form data = "7"

XClose32 runs at Pegasus Mail startup and is unloaded almost immediately,
leaving no resident DLL.

XClose32 was compiled and linked with Microsoft Visual C++ version 8 and has
been tested only with Pegasus Mail version 4.41 on Windows XP SP2.

To install XClose32:

	1.	For use by all users copy XCLOSE32.FFF to WINPM-32.EXE's home directory.
		For use by selected users, copy XCLOSE32.FFF to individual mailboxes.

	2.	Copy XCLOSE32.DLL to WINPM-32.EXE's home directory.  Another location can
		be used if XCLOSE32.FFF's "Form DLL" specification is edited appropriately.
	
To uninstall XClose32:

	Delete (or move) XCLOSE32.FFF from the appropriate places.  XCLOSE32.DLL can
	also be deleted (or moved); this is not necessary.
