Yes, but I didn't want to stress the fact that Calypso put everything in one file, but rather that it stored all settings, such as filter rules, mailbox layout, etc., on disk. The Bat stores its configuration *both* in the registry and on disk, and I don't understand why that approach is chosen. In fact, the data that The Bat stores in the registry is now of considerable size: when I export HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! to a ANSI .reg file, it is more than 50 kB. On the MSDN site and various other Windows development resources you will read that it is unwise to store large amounts of data in the registry. If you exceed a certain limit, such as more than a few kB of data, it is better to store the data in a file, and put the filename of that file in the registry. For The Bat it would really be enough to store only the path of your mail directory in the registry, and store all other settings in configuration files in that mail directory. I have heard before that there were some plans for storing rules and other settings in the mailbox directory, but never saw a followup.
