1. I've only replied to one response, because until tonight I haven't read
any of the
others.
2. I posted using Calypso because that is my emailer. I am very interested
in The Bat.
I probably would buy it, almost certainly would buy it, if it had the
features I want. What
am I supposed to do, buy it before I can ask about it?
3. I am NOT trying to promote Calypso, in fact I'm trying to get a feature
in The Bat so that I
can change to it!

Haven't read that post yet, and can't understand why you think I was
ridiculing it.
The ONLY reason I posted was to find out if it was likely to have this
feature and to encourage
its inclusion. I would never join a list like this to promote a rival
product.
