That's sad - I'd rather it didn't have to be encouraged.

That one I can't argue with, not for > one second <g>. And the fact that the Bat doesn't do html is always mentioned as a weakness in most reviews I've read. Personally, I can live without the ability to compose those types of mails, since I always use plaintext. But it would be nice if the Bat! had a full-fledged html viewer with the ability to toggle on/off external images. This is one strong feature of Pocomail. I would leave images off to avoid possible web bugs unless the mail was from a trusted source, such as a mailing list from a software company. -- Regards, Don Zeigler ...Redneck Seven Course Dinner: Possum and a six pack!
