I'm a little slow responding to this thread, but I'm with Allie 100%
wrt her comments on TheBat! versus Agent's keyboard navigation.
I switched to using Agent for email (from Pegasus and Eudora) several
years ago when I bought it for its newsgroup features. One of the
things I liked the most about it was its keyboard shortcuts. I do use
a mouse a lot, but for some purposes, such as navigating through
messages, it's a pain to switch back and forth.
Now that Agent has fallen behind the email client competition in some
important areas, I am in the process of switching, but am having a
hard time finding a client that includes some of Agent's really nice
features, of which this is one. I tried out The Bat, then Becky, and
am back to giving The Bat another try.
I'm aware of the space bar shortcut, and Ctrl-] for moving to the next
unread message. Is there a list of these, and all keyboard shortcuts
somewhere (other than the message editor keystrokes, which are well
documented in Help)?
I just encountered one other irritant of The Bat--having to reformat a
paragraph after making changes to it. This is all automatic in Agent.
Also--Why does The Bat (and Becky, too) have such trouble threading
messages properly? Broken threads are really rare in Agent, but with
The Bat, I find myself switching to Subject Threading because
Reference Threading losing messages--but Subject Threading doesn't
give them to me in the correct sequence. Are there plans to fix this?
(I realize that threading is rare in email clients, but this is the
one thing that has restricted my search to The Bat and Becky; most
software developers don't even bother with this!)
Thanks.
