Hi Martin,
On 01 August 2000 at 14:13:31 GMT +0200 (which was 13:13 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Automatic search for names in the sender field":
MS> Is there a possibility that the names in the "To:" field are

TB *will* auto-complete addresses from the address history list. To
complete names from the address book, press Ctrl-Plus.

Perhaps here TB is too mouse-centric. Many of the keystrokes are
perhaps too complex for the simpler tasks. The developers are
currently working on V2 in which it is intended to implement definable
keys.
MS> Okay, that have been my technical questions. Now I would like to know

MS> 1. When I register, for which versions is the key valid? Is it
MS> valid for every future version or only for the 1.x or 1.4x?
MS> (Sorry, I didn't find anything on the homepage!)
Your key is likely to be valid for all 1.xx releases.
MS> 2. What will be the new features of V.2 and when it will be released.
Many and varied. The most notable are definable key-mappings, support
for plug-ins and (hopefully) support for external editors. I think
that the best place to find out about what features are slated for V2
is here: http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/interview.shtml. A release date
is not even anywhere near the surface right now. We anxiously await
early alphas to start testing. My gut instinct says it's going to be a
month or two before we see a version for public testing.
