Does anyone know if there are some plans to allow different
options for how the editor works in an upcoming version? To me
this is a more serious flaw than any lack of HTML formatting.
One of the arguments I hear a lot for The Bat is that it's
strictly an e-mail client and meant to send e-mail as it was
intended ( although I think even that is arguable even though I
personally hate HTML e-mail.. another topic ). Sort of tongue in
cheek, but doesn't an extra line space add to the size of an
e-mail message? If anything it at least adds to the visible length
of the message which will require more scrolling in longer
messages.
I would think Bat users would be for an editor where you didn't
have to have simple block type paragraphs separated by a line in
order to communicate effectively. To me this is only a small
inconvenience to pay for such a powerful e-mail client, but to
many users who will try the Bat they will certainly be turned off.
Maybe the editor has to be the way it is in order to adequately
present a WYSIWYG format? If that is the case than I understand
the reasoning behind the editor being like it is, since that is
very important.
