We haven't been hit (yet) with the flood of issues that were reported after 3.5.0 (?) was released and it's running fine for me.

Well, it has fixed my Access Violation problem that was preventing me from creating any mail while logged on as a group. But it still has the other issue of not remembering all group members. Still, what should I expect given it has been a feature since 1.62 or thereabouts? -- Cheers, Allister :flag-newzealand: New Zealand / Aotearoa Current version is 3.5.0.17 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

RA Now that v3.5.25 has been released, can anyone volunteer an opinion RA about whether it is worth upgrading from v3.0.1.33? Are there any RA significant bugs, issues or other annoyances still left in it? My answer would simple: dont upgrade, yet. -- Vili Current version is 3.5.0.17 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

TB! still uses a lot of memory to open attachments. However, minimizing frees up the memory. However, if you keep TB! always in the systray, then the memory will not be freed on minimizing. So, there's a way to avoid the memory consumption, but it's not entirely gone. Note, that some seem not to see the problem. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat! v3.5.25 System Specs: http://www.landscreek.net/sysspecs.htm -=-=- I know it all. I just can't remember it all at once.

Hello Robin! On Friday, June 03, 2005, 8:21 PM, you wrote: There are always issues and annoyances. It's just whether or not those issues or annoyances affect you. Only one way to find out. :) How about the memory consumption problem you noted in an earlier subrelease? Does that appear to be fixed? It appears to be fixed here. CPU is fluctuating between 0 and 22 per cent on the Task Manager. When I launch and begin to use TB!, the Page File number changes from 265 MB to 278 MB. (I'm running 61 processes because I use F-Secure as my AV program, and it utilizes a lot of processes. Probably many people run much leaner than I do.) Basic POP3 things (send, receive, filter, and manage mail) are working for me. You could save your current version in a back-up, and try this one out. If you use keyboard shortcuts, they won't carry over and you will have to redefine them using the new View/Toolbars/Customise/shortcuts system. There are some minor things that I don't like--1) it still won't quote (as has been true since v. 3.0.1.33) Smiley ASCII text when Smiley imaging is enabled in RTV, but this happens only randomly; 2) there is an issue or two with scrollbars; 3) I had to acquire an icon skin set that MAU made, in order to be comfortable with the new icons. And so on. Small things like that. We would all be interested in your opinion of v. 3.5.25, if you should indeed decide to try it out. It's a keeper for me. But then, I have a fairly high tolerance level for small inconveniences, and my basic requirements in an e-mail program are few and well met in the current version of TB! -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.5.25 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.5.0.17 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
