I must say I reverted from Version 5 back to Version 4.2.44.2 due to dysfunctional VF, or to be more precise: dysfunctional MailTicker window (which is likewise a virtual folder, of course). The state of messages in MailTicket's virtual-folder window just never corresponded to the state of messages in The Bat!'s main window. For example, if I marked a message "parked" in MailTicker's window, it would only show "parked" in The Bat!'s main window, while in MailTicker's window it would still show as "unparked". Same for read/unread messages, flagged/unflagged messages, etc. So, I returned to Version 4.2.44.2, which has none of these issues. (But which still has the buggy re-directing of HTML messages, so it's not an ideal remedy for me.) I even encountered this bizarre bug in MailTicker in Version 5: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10440809/misc/preciarknute_spravy_v_okne_Mail_Tickera.gif (strike-through lines for deleted messages in the top-priority MailTicker window?!) Plus, I was never able to start The Bat! normally in Version 5 under Windows 7 64-bit (I tried two different Versions 5: the two most recent non-Betas). It sometimes took up to 30 (!) launches of the EXE file to have The Bat! launched, which could take up to 5 or 10 minutes of time. Restarting Windows made no difference in trying. The splash screen always appeared for a split second, without The Bat! launching. Only very infrequently, the following bizarre pair of error messages popped up on the screen instead of The Bat!: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10440809/misc/Bat_Start_Crash.gif (This although I don't remember ever having used the "View Mode Setup" dialog window in The Bat.) Returning to 4.2.44.2 made all these bugs disappear and everything works fine here. Well, except for the dysfunctional redirection of HTML messages -- a long-standing bug of 10 years or so, not *entirely* satisfactorily resolved in Version 5, either: the TO, CC, BCC fields can't be accessed via the keyboard in Version 5. Please either make the TO, CC, BCC fields in the re-direction window accessible standard-wise via TAB and SHIFT+TAB, or please just assign a keyboard-shortcut letter to each field, such as T, C, B for accessing TO, CC, BCC. Thanks in advance for the fix. :-) -- Yours, Alex. of Slovakia www.avenarius.sk [flying with The Bat! 4.2.44.2 under Windows 7 64-bit 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 AMD Athlon II X4 645 @ 3.10 GHz & 8 GB RAM] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.22.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
