ST>> How exactly? I need step-by-step instructions of how to reproduce

M> I've been trying to make it bug every time, but to no avail. I have

M> Try this one, it seems to work MOST of the time: select a line of text,

Hmmm. Seems to work fine here. I cut out ten single lines and undid them
fine. I then cut out 10 clips of variable length and undid them again. The
undo hasn't really failed me. I personally have created some text
formatting macros and sometimes I often have to undo them and this has
never been a problem.
ST>> Here nicknames are working perfectly. I use them many times every
ST>> day. Details, please.
M> Okay, this one goes for you. Looks like I'm an ex-Netscapish moron...
M> Let's say that I have a friend with an address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and a
M> nickname "jonny". I type "jo" and I see "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" appended for me.
M> Fine, but it only recognized my typing in an email address. I want it to
M> recognize a nickname - so I continue to type, "jonny", and..... nothing
M> appears.
M> I _know_ that hitting TAB or DOWN will make Bat recognize the nickname,
M> but what if I don't remember its correct spelling? The way Netscape
M> does it is much more useful: a partially typed nickname is
M> automatically "suggest-expanded" the way email addresses are now in The
M> Bat, or a list of possible nicknames and email addresses appeard

This sounds like a feature request, rather than bug fix. I agree that it
would be good to have.
M>>> * deleting unread threads sometimes results in mistakes in folder's
M>>> message count
ST>> "Sometimes" is a bad word for bug reports. :-) So, could you please be
ST>> more specific on this because I could not reproduce it?
M> I still can't pin the sucker down, but it's acting like this:
M> - I receive a bunch of messages, possibly some mailing lists
M> - I enter some folder with a few new messages
M> - I read some of them, I delete the whole threads with other ones
M> - In the end, I have no more unread messages in the folder (even CTRL+] and
M> CTRL+[ refuse to find any remaining unread messages) but still the message
M> counter says that I have 1 or 2 unread msgs!
M> - Exiting and entering a folder brings the counts back to normal
M> I doesn't ALWAYS do this, so I'll have to watch my message counts more closely
M> to produce a 100% replayable bug.
This one eludes me as well. There's one particular folder from which I
delete threads quite a lot while reading but I haven't seen unread message
counts when there really aren't any unread messages. There's probably some
ingredient to produce the problem that you haven't mentioned. :-/
