RN new). In fact, I'd prefer everything else under File in this RN iteration go into a drop-down and the stuff currently under New come RN back to the first level under File. It is this type of thing that keeps my customers me away from v5. Welcome constructive feedback. From how I see it, almost any program nowadays groups items in this way (have a look at the File menu of Thunderbird), so what would make TheBat! so exceptionally bad for joining that track? I would much more complain about really missing or broken functionality (such as IMAP used to be or still is, depending on who you ask) - or the less-then-optimal rollout of a broken V5 release. -- Best regards, Viktor Kabelacmailto:tbbeta-l...@kabelac.cz Current beta is 5.0.36.3 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
