Hi Gleason, hi MAU, hello Stephan and hello to the list! First: I agree to Gleasons opinion too. Second: I left the windowed world more than 21 years ago and all my applications I now run are based on the descendants of UNIX and Linux: the Debian operation system. And I also prefer software which is made based on the KISS principle [1]. The only applications from the windowed world I use every day is "The Bat!" now running on top of wine. I know and use "The Bat!" since its version 1.32. Neither Thunderbird nor KMail nor Claws Mail hits my requirements of today for professional use of e-mail communication. This maybe the reason why I'm a little scared about when I hear about to built in new and untested feature into "The Bat!". My point of view is clearly influenced by the KISS principle: create one small and effective app [1]. So my wished addressed to the "RitLabs"-Team: Please fix some major and minor bugs in "The Bat!" first! Maybe you want to take the goal "bug free" as your guiding stars! Than there maybe some time to think about new features - otherwise a feature crepping [2] progress will take place and all is lost.... [1] "KISS principle" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle#In_software_development> [2] "Feature creep" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_creep> My two cents!
