That's what I was talking about. The size of the installation
file is rather irrelevant.

The executable file went through a McDonald diet I believe:

thebat.exe version 1.41 = 3,091,968 bytes

thebat.exe version 3.5.25.0 = 10.827.064 bytes!!!

Just for fun, I started this old version again and almost everything I
*do* actually need (I don't use IMAP) was already available, just much
much quicker, using a fraction of the actual memory.

3.5 version is definitely not three times better than 1.41 was; I just
wonder what happened. The developers probably didn't bother to get rid of old
useless routines and wrote new code on them, very much in the
Microsoft way. Or am I wrong?

Regards
