Why does the Bat elist send out so many digests every day. I'd really
prefer just one per day. That is how all digests normally work.

Granville,
It's an easy program to use and the interface is clean. File/Check for
Problems scans your PC, and produces a list of problems. You can check
which ones you want fixed. Then, lower right, "Fix Selected Problems."
That's it.

In the computer industry this phenomena is recognized and given a
name, "standards," which are generally recognized as Good Things. Some
industry groups even set up consortia to promote them. Yes, the world

Well, suppose I have two XML files, one using and the
other using . An XSL script can convert between them. Or I
can convert the data manually using any text editor. Fifteen years
from now, when the original programs are long dead, I will still have
my address data in a format I can read and use.
Spike,
That strikes me as pretty preposterous. XML files are ASCII files and
it would be awfully hard for a virus to hide in one.

Exactly right. Good P G P support is one reason I bought Bat.
Among other things, I use digital signatures to verify consulting

A common problem with address books is that people want to enter data
in one program only, and then use it in many other programs, on other
computers, and on their Palm pilots.
Bat is pretty good about address import/export, even supporting VCARD.

For those of us who already have 1.5.8 installed, do we have to
uninstall and reinstall to get 1.5.9, or can we just install over top
of 1.5.8?

The main point everyone should take away is the idea of model/view
supporting various behaviors in the editor. WIthout model/view
distinctions, there can only be one (fixed) behavior.
It may also be worth pointing out to Bat developers that this e-list
should be regarded as a highly biased sample

Model/view would have made it easier to support the current behavior

Moderator, it is good to promote civility, but you are disciplining
the wrong person. This quote does in fact exemplify camp #2:

UltraEdit gives me all the capabilities that have been touted as
unique to Bat in response to my post.
If I want hard CRLFs, I can put them anywhere.
If I want to put the cursor anywhere, I can do that.
If I want the view to reflect the current model data perfectly, I just
turn off word wrap!

The text editor needs help. Its major problem is its use of hard
carriage returns (CRLF) during composition. Those should be avoided
until necessary, at send time.
Many text editors have a clean "model/view" design, instead of Bat's
confused "view is the model" design.
With real text editors, the

Lighten up. I just want a mail client that supports all prevalent
encodings. And there are such things as mail-to-news gateways.
It doesn't matter to me what are the technical merits. What matters
is that people use this format, so I want my mail client to support
it.

The yEnc format itself is a nice alternative to UUencode and Base64.
yEncoded messages are up to 40% smaller than UUencoded/Base64
equivalents, and include built-in error checking and multipart file
support.

The last one removes all quotation devices no matter how deeply

You'll also notice a bug with Bat
Another problem:
When I decipher a Gnu PG message that I have already sent to someone,
and which is stored in some subfolder, Bat puts the deciphered clear
text in the Inbox.
The clear text output from Gnu PG belongs in the same folder as the
original message. I should not need a filter for that
Maybe others have mentioned this idea: let the same filter apply to
both Inbox and Outbox so that I don't have to keep defining the same
filter twice, once for recipient and once for sender.
Ideally, filters should not be associated with Inbox, Outbox, Sent
Mail, or any other default folder.

Thanks everyone. Interesting to learn that Bat doesn't support this
feature.
I wish that Bat would support mail filters that apply to both incoming
and outgoing mail, that would probably do it.

and can't remember (or find out) how to do it.
