No way! :-)
One reason for purchasing The Bat! for me was PGP, another one
was: macros. And macros are getting more useful with quick
templates. About the other things: I haven't worked with them
yet, but hey, they don't disturb me.

Too much. It would be "just another simple Mailreader". I'm glad
TB! is more than that. Otherwise I wouldn't have purchased it.

Why, harddrives are not expensive any more. And what is 500k?
When I start compacting the message base, I save several MB every
time.

Then why do you update? If you're missing nothing and you have no
bug annoying you, why not using an older version.
Maybe not every feature is being used by every user. But every
feature is useful for someone. It's hard to decide: Ok, this one
is pro, this one is lite.
