And in v4 we have plans for: - improved Unicode support - new GUI = new customiser, message list pane? [+] First usable new filtering system this feature is from TB 2.13 "Lucky" Beta1 And something about RIT updates: http://fileforum.betanews.com/review/942557075/2/view > I do not remember all, some things can be major for You, some for > another, for example downloading images to HTML is major for You, > not for me - I like filtering system a lot... HTML images are not so important for me. For newsletters I use this http://konrad_sz.republika.pl/tb/htmlpics.htm old version http://konrad_sz.republika.pl/tb/htmlpics_old.htm But this is not for normal users. >>> V3 was developed more than 3 years and You paid once only.

No, I do not need. I work with local mail2news gateway - Hamster. For me Scoring system (like in 40tude - with NFS this is very good feature for discussion lists, emails, newsgroup gateways, antyspam ...) will be enough, but for normal people that want to use newsgroups? Tbird ore OE is answer? Like you can see, things that TB can not do I make with NFS, macros or gateways. But this is not for normal users - it is to difficult, not ergonomic. Here you have what other clients have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-mail_clients In this comparison I create myself many thing about TB, new tables and features. There is question: maybe it is better to answer about IMAP in TB - 'Yes, works in 50%' or something like that? All questions with answer - 'Yes, with plugin' after v4 will be No. >>>> Why not wait when this two things are ready and then give users >>>> v4? >>> because downloading images to HTML messages is much easier and is >>> almost finished, templates affects more parts of program. >> You can say that for sure html templates will be available in v4 >> and this will be not next major version?

Like usenet support. -- Thanks and best regards, Sebastian Murawski ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.24 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
