Hello Paul, > The US Dept. of Defense has banned HTML and Microsoft email clients > and for good reason.
Where is news about it? DoE should do the same :)) Our secretaries send ENORMOUS files just to say: Ok. It's like a tournament for them in the "Who can waste the most bandwidth" category. > Don't you even suggest that we turn TB into the same crap. "Being in > business" is _no_ excuse for adulterating TB! If you want to jump in > the lake and drown, do it. Don't take anyone else with you. History > proves 80% of the people are wrong 80% of the time. I want to remain > with the 20%. :)))))))) That was a very harsh comment, you must have listened the Michael Savage show :)) I am on both sides of this discussion and by selling TB! also I can see customer wishes. What you talk about would be viable IF Ritlabs would be a nonprofit agency. Then they could go for the "best for the mankind" email client. Unfortunately, they have to feed their family, too. As us. They just have to go with the flow sometimes. See the HTML editor. Nobody can prove me why HTML mail MUST be used in business. There is just no reason for it. Any formatted data can be send as attach. But people are being brainwashed everyday, children coming out of US schools with lots of medals and cups (getting those for e.g. standing in a straight line before lunch... I am serious), not hearing anything else, but only "good job", "fantastic work", "marvellous behavior" etc. even the laziest, most stupid children. They will be adults. So, this is your market. What can you sell them? Email client that is easy to use, no need to think, everything is taken care of. Reading manuals, help??? Come on... I dont think, that TB! would turn into trash if it would support external HTML editors. You would not use it, I would not use it. But I dont use IMAP neither. (PS: I described the US market as this is the biggest, most influencing one for any product... As I am from Hungary, and hope that US people dont think, it is an offense. Those are my observations. In Hungary, we have more and more similar problems now that US has... Stupid ministers, lying prime minister, etc. But at least -so far- we are realistic in education.) P2.: Paul, you helped me not once over the years, last time just recently. I hope, you neither will take this mail as offense, or something. It is just like a scientific conversation for me, where we even "cut each other throats" over scientific facts/observations, but when it is over, we are buddies and go drink a beer. I think, that is called profession. If I would keep my mouth shut because I respect you, but have different opinion, that would be called prostitution. -- Vili ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.98.03 | '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/
