I don't particularly care for it although I use it once in a while for emails that need a presentation mode. I change MOST HTML emails to plain text when forwarding or replying. Yet, HTML has widespread usage and can be used in many positive ways; sending pictures in a formatted display etc. My original reply was agreeing with most of the complaints about bandwidth and storage - all the points are true. Yet HTML email is here to stay (unless something better replaces it) and it's use is growing and products like the Bat must address this to remain competitive > Methamphetamines is a word that isn't even in my > spell checker yet it > has been around for for more than 100 years.

HTML has nothing to do with methamphetamine usage, crack smoking, children dying in Africa, premarital sex, Hitler, Stalin or any one of the myriad of issues perceived by some as evil; past OR present It has to do with Web pages and email You remind me of a friend that stuck with OS/2 until last year since it was the best operating system out there, Bill Gates is evil and Window was a ploy to take over the Internet and presumable the world A case can be made for all those statements. Yet Windows is the dominating force and by far the largest in use in desktop environments. (Linux is coming along but is not ready for home use yet and yes I know about the graphical desktops like Ubantu etc. Windows still has the market) ... but consider all he missed by sticking with an OUTDATED concept even past the time when IBM abandoned it internally for Windows desktops -- Rick The Bat Version 3.99.21 (BETA) on Windows XP, Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.21 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
