Am I right in assuming when you say web page editing/viewing you mean
the writing, editing, and displaying of HTML based emails?  And not
true websites right?

   NNTP USENET News Reader Option

I'm on the fence about this one myself.  I like TB! a lot... not sure
how well it'd handle the full introduction of NNTP.

Hello tbudl,

  I  doubt  anyone  will complaint if the bat introduced the following
  improvements:
  Web page viewing Option
  Web Page Editing option
  NNTP USENET News Reader Option
  
  Component  wise  configuration  backup  and restore including Folder
  sorting  filters  auto  responders etc.. Everything configurable and
  any   additions  to that configuration. Like what they have now only
  including  filters  and any configurable component with a replace or
  append  option  allowing just new filters to be added for example or
  replace what is there with what is being restored.

  As  long  as  these  are  kept  modular and part of a custom install
  everybody  is  happy.  Those  who only want plain text can have only
  plain  text  and  need  not  check off the HTML support or varry the
  degree  to  old  style  of new style As components they only load if
  desired. At least The Bat author will have more popularity for his
  product. Seems to me he should be thinking about that a lot!

Hi Batpersons,

On or about, Saturday, January 18, 2003, 7:15:00 PM, we have reason to believe that

People have already complained, so I imagine it's safe to assume they
will carry on complaining.

If the developers do all this, they'll just be moving closer to
Outlook Express. Since OE is free and the Bat isn't, I'd say that was
a worse position to be in. Then there's the fact that enhanced HTML
functionality will open The Bat to many of the same security weakness
as OE, and you have a debatable strategy IMO

I would. I already have a newsreader I'm quite happy with, and if I
want to view web pages I use a web browser. If I want to edit a web
page I use Dreamweaver.  I've just changed in the last three months
from bloatware to TB when I found out what it could do and, more
importantly what it *wouldn't* do. I'd rather not have to change
again.
