I started with v2, and got my fingers burnt because they released v3 within a fortnight and my licence didn't cover it. I stuck with v2 for a few months. Then after reading on this list about desirable enhancements, tried v3 and then bought an upgrade licence to v3. > Is it worth upgrading to v.6? For a long time I have stuck with v4.0.38, which is the latest supported by my v3 licence. I downloaded and tried v6.0.2, but reverted to 4.0.38: for me it is not worth paying to upgrade as bugs I encounter in 4.0.38 are still present in the new v6.0.2, and I don't use IMAP, rarely use HTML in emails, and don't yet correspond with anybody who uses internationalised domain names. Your usage and requirements are probably different to mine, so your answer may well be different to mine. > How is html working with that version, The main thing I noticed is the option to use MS Internet Explorer's HTML engine as the HTML message viewer, as an alternative to TB!'s own implementation. But I rarely view emails in HTML... > and would I need to buy a > completely new licence, or can I get a discounted "upgrade" one? The upgrade licence is 30% cheaper. > If I did upgrade, would my current message base and all my > filters stay intact? I *think* the filters are OK. But the message base format is not, so you need to revert to a backup of your message base if you switch back to an older TB! version after upgrading to 6.0.x. (The installer warns of this, saying the message base indexes are a new format.) -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Don't talk unless you can improve on the silence ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
