G> And this is annoying me since I use The Bat! There is no way around it.

Yes. I'm wondering why failure to retain a user defined size for the
original text sub window hasn't been addressed so far.
G> Marking a block in this part of the window and then quoting it would
G> be a powerful feature, but it is way too cumbersome! I have to
G> position the cursor manually after quoting a text from this upper
G> part of the window. At the time I select "quote" the cursor should

This assumes that you've finished quoting what you want to. This is
dangerous. If they do things the way you want them to, soon you'll be
hearing some hollering that the cursor is ripped from their control when
they are trying to quote snippets in sequence and that the editor is
trying to think for them.
I think the cursor should remain in the original text field since the
user may wish to quote something else. When you're finished, you hit tab
and your cursor is at the end of your quotation where it should be.
Again, in my opinion, it would be dangerous to assume that all users
will want the cursor two lines below the quotation.
G> I find that the editor in general could be improved, as everyone uses
G> it all the time.
I really like this editor but I do agree that it could do with some
improvements.
G> Control-Delete to delete the word right of the cursor doesn't even
G> work! Word-for-word deletion with Control-Backspace only works within
G> the same line. Neither work in the subject field. The Bat gets more
G> and more advanced features that only minorities use, but doesn't even
G> support the simplest editor features.
G> Do the programmers read this mailing list and take the suggestions here
G> into account or where should I send them?
Look in the help menu. There's a submenu called 'feedback'. You can send
a suggestion message to be sure that your 'voice is heard'.
