Not supported in v1.x, however a workaround is to drag to the Outbox,
edit, and move it back. Unfortunately this changes the date however.
v.2 might support this. Not sure though.

Mmmm, your talking the personalities thing. While this isn't supported
directly, you can have filters under each account to file messages
into one single account, specific folders. Further each of those
folders can have it's own identity settings (folder properties). You
can also set up Quick Templates to catch those odd messages that don't
really fit anywhere.

Currently, TB does not display images unless they were sent with the
actual HTML page (not href'd to a site.)
v2 will fully support HTML reading and writing at some point once work
on RITLABS browser begins. Not sure what you mean by HTML toolbar, but
I'm assuming that you mean to edit messages. This will come later in
v2, hopefully as a plugin)

This is already possible to a certain extent. When editing a message,
click the TO field and hit the down arrow at the far right. You can
then select which ACCOUNT to send it from. REPLY-TO is the same way.

Not sure about the preview button (however, generally what I see on
screen is what I print (not sure abt HTML messages as I haven't
printed any). The toolbar will be extremely customizable in v2.

v2 will do this and much, much more via scripting and/or plugins.

Hmmm, not sure what you're asking here.

You are absolutely correct. You'll find though that the majority of us
are very happy with the core TB program (minus bugs of course) and
want to keep it the small/svelte program it currently is. We did get
one major wish, and that was for plugin support, so if you can find
someone to write it, you can make TB do everything but the dishes.
Now there's a plugin! Send e-mail from work:
To: My house
Subject: Do dishes
:^)

We all gotta start somewhere. Hopefully nobody ripped you too bad.

Glad to see that you like it. We love it!
