Your letter to Jennifer was very helpful and reminded me of a problem
I have here.
You menitoned clicking on the "tree icon." Whenever I do that (for any
reason at all) The Bat freezes up. With Ctr-Alt-Del, I discover a "Not
Responding" warning in the Close Program dialog box.
I have learned to only create filters using the "Special" menu inside
a message.
I think that I have upgraded Bat once already and this problem
persists. I believe it has always been present.
Ideas anybody? Do I need to reinstall one or more files, for example?
Thank you in advance.
