It's not. I'll quote from the original v5 announcement: |To: [email protected] |Subject: New versions of The Bat! |From: Maxim Masiutin <[email protected]> |Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2010 19:45:36 +0300 | |Hello, Tbbeta. | |The new version will be version 5.0. | [...] |The changes to the program are the most significant that we have ever made from version to version. |We have removed 1.7MB or old source code so far, and are using the new code instead. The program |internal architecture is changed to allow smooth IMAP implementations and many new improvements |like undo/redo for message management, and so on. [...] Some examples of code left untouched: - Numbered Re in follow-up Subject lines. Like Re[1]:, Re[2]: etc. This is Beta! specific, non RFC behaviour. It breaks threading-by- subject in other mail clients. It's just as awful as the erroneously translated Av: Antw: subject prefixes of some old Outlook Express versions. - Initialized quote prefixes, like: AdG> quoted text. This is a non RFC compliant method of quoting and is not recognized by other mail clients. - Message-ID url's. TB! uses <mid:localpart@server>, which is useless in other mail clients. It's these and other "features" like mugshots and betamoticons that lead me to believe that Beta! developers and chronical beta! list habituals alike are living in a world of their own and are impervious and hostile towards input from outside. Like I said before: it just behaves like some kind of sect.
