Hello Avi,

AY> Stefan, this was the first good beta cycle in a long time.

I agree. One of the major goal for our team now is to keep the tempo
and motivation restored during this cycle. There was a good punch at
the start, but it would be better not to provoke such punches in
future :-)

>>  - Improved Windows-compatible editor (proper wrapping, more
>>    functionality from MicroEd plus UNICODE support)

AY> I hope you will find a better way to handle actions on strings of
AY> words like changing case.

What I'm thinking of is making Ctrl+[/]\ working different if a
portion of text is selected...

>>  - Adding message base encryption to the Professional Edition

AY> Without this, it seems like there is no significant differentiator
AY> between the professional and the home edition.

There is - working with security tokens.

AY> As a security measure, I would also like to see some more
AY> effective encryption of passwords.

If you don't use TLS connection or at least CRAM-MD5 authentication,
there is no point in stronger encryption of passwords. The only way to
keep a password secure is to encrypt it with some password which
should be entered on start-up. Or passwords should be kept on security
tokens (which is possible with the Pro edition).

AY> I find it disturbing that a small utility like "The Bat! UnPass" can
AY> expose all of my current passwords on TB.

The size doesn't matter :-) As long as there is a programmable way to
reach passwords without user's interaction, that small piece of code
can be used for password extraction, no matter how complex the
algorithm is.

AY> Stefan, if you would publish a better job offer, then you would surely
AY> succeed in finding a good writer very quickly. There are many
AY> qualified people looking for work these days, but - as I mentioned
AY> before - your advertisement was not very attractive.

Point taken. Examples of good offers are welcome into my PM. We will
look for them in the Net, too...
