Well, as much as I like The Bat, and as much as I dislike the
instability of Windows, one fact remains: In 8 years of using email,
I've never lost an entire folder of messages, except with TB--and it's
happened 3 times in the past year and a half. Granted, the first year
or two were using Pine on a Unix system, but other than that I used
Pegasus, Eudora, and Becky (and a couple of others briefly), all under
Windows.
I don't know if compression is the problem, but it isn't OS errors
alone that are the problem--it's the interaction between TB and
Windows. No RIT can't be expected to cure OS errors, but I wish they
would protect from them, as far as our email is concerned.
