Absolutely. Here's something else for those who dislike TB!'s editor
to mull over, found at
http://email.about.com/library/weekly/aa010801b.htm

    A WORLD-CLASS MESSAGE EDITOR

    When you compose a message with The Bat!, you do it with the best
    email editor I've seen so far. Its powerful auto-wrap and
    auto-format functions make it easy to write neat email messages
    that are not a pain to read. This works even with replies. With
    minimal effort, the appropriate parts of the original email are
    arranged as quotations that do not break the formatting of the
    rest of the message. Almost all other email clients should take an
    example by The Bat!'s editor.

Is it then true that TB!'s editor is primarily suited for the needs of
power users rather than ordinary users? Perhaps it only comes across
as such to the first-time user, which wouldn't then be a fault in the
editor but in its presentation as Alastair says. Surely it's in the
interest of not nerds but everyone to be able to "write neat email
messages that are not a pain to read" because "quotations do not break
the formatting of the rest of the message".
