.30 had big problems and needs to be replaced. We are not looking for a perfect release but a good enough one to replace one that was not good enough. Sometime people don't have an idea of relative difficulty (or time required) of fixing one thing or another, I think. Regex is not a simple fix. I see lots of holes in the customizable interface. You can put redo on a toolbar, but it doesn't do anything. You can put "Inset an Image" on a toolbar but it won't even appear. These are functions that are not available in the default toolbars. They seem to me to be placeholders for new functions when they become available. But release of the next TB shouldn't be held back because of that. > My suggestion remains the same (as mentioned in the "3.51, > Communications, and Ethics" thread): Drop back to 3.5.36 and package > something from there - before you started trying to resolve some > additional charset issues - for distribution as your 3.51 release. > Once you have something on your Web site that non-beta-testers can > download, you can pick up again with this 3.51.xx series of beta > tests. I disagree. The past few betas have been much, much better in general use. For the first time in months, I can say that I am delighted to be able to use TB as my full time email client. My suggestion is to get 3.51.10 out there. A lot of people will be gratified. -- Gleason Using The Bat! v3.51.10 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Primarily using the Fastmail IMAP server which uses Cyrus. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.51.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
