I'm just trying the new version now (1.63b4).  Once all the bugs get ironed out it's 
going to provide a nice improvement that should bring a lot of new users over to 
TheBat!

So far I have spotted the following bugs in the new message editor:

1. resizing window causes very visible flashing of all window text and one or two 
header fields

2. Replying to a majority of messages (which are all in folders that contain a valid 
reply template) starts the message window EMPTY.  ie. no template is being used.  I 
don't know why this happens only to some messgaes but not some others.  Seems to 
happen to all messages from Bat users on this list.

3. All replies indicate "Modified" in the message window status area even if I have 
NOT made any modifications.

4. Pressing ESCAPE to close a message for which bug#2 occurs, TB prompts for 
confirmation as if the message HAS been modified.

5. The status always reads "Overwirte" regardless of actual Insert/Overwrite setting.

6. Pasting as quotation does not properly observe the auto-wrap setting from the 
editor prefs.  Set to 72 it was still wrapping some text at 60-something when the line 
was only 67 characters including the newly added quote marker.

I haven't dared try anything but stream mode with the new editor yet though.  I also 
see no way of toggling between the two editor modes while composing a ingle message.  
It seems to be all or nothing.  No way to set editor prefs per user either (not an 
issue for me right now).

And that's all for now.  My GF is bugging me to get to bed. :)  I couldn't resist 
finding and trying out this beta version as soon as I read you mentioning it though.  
I had to download it from the German TB web page as I didn't find any mentions in 
TBUDL or on the Ritlabs web page.

Hi,

Is there a specific reason the bat behaves like this as appose to other
email clients?

Thanks
