[Bug 10213] New: Pegasus Mail: program closes when sub-program closes

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10213

Summary: Pegasus Mail: program closes when sub-program closes
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.47.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.pmail.com/downloads_maine_t.htm
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]

Version to look at is 4.41, a free download.

This email app does a normal shutdown whenever the editor is closed, e.g.,
after a new email is sent. This is not normal behaviour. In Windows the app
stays open, so that one can continue sending, receiving, reading, writing
email, etc.

In old versions of wine, this error doesn't happen, (ver. 20050830). The
regression error occurs as early as 0.9.20. Based on posts to the wine appdb
for this app, it is likely that the regression error ocurred >=0.9.14.

The editor in Pmail was not written by the developer and maintainer, David
Harris, but rather licensed by him. Recent wine code seems to interpret an
ordinary call to close the editor as a call to close the program itself.

When Pmail starts, a 0 byte file, mailbox.lck is created in the mail box of the
user. When the user closes the program normally, this file is deleted.

Since the shutdown regression error deletes the lock file, I conclude the call
to close the editor is being misinterpreted by wine as a call to shutdown
Pmail.

p.s. - I'm new at this, please forgive me if my report is funky. I did check
bugzilla and didn't find anything relevant.
