Nor I ... couple of small glitches on migrating to Win2kPro, which this list dealt with very promptly. Thanks again :-) >I, too, have been using The Bat for several years.

That may be true, but I can't think why - when I first started using it, I just configured it and everything worked fine. I didn't immediately learn to use all it's bells and whistles ... still don't, actually, but figured out what I needed pretty easily. > >Reading the documentation would help, but not as much as >it should because the documentation is far too sparse. >The on-line FAQ helps and so does this discussion list. True. My glitches are fixed, but I'm still reading, because I know there are other things I can use in this thing, if I can figure them out. But a good many of the questions on this list could be answered by going through and re-reading the menu options and config windows. FWIW, I have been looking at Poco Mail, because several people (not on this list :-D) have told me it's much better/easier than TB, but though there are a couple of very nice things about it, I find TB easier, its interface cleaner, and it's options much broader. So I'll stay with it :-) Lynn -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************* Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed *** Team OS/2 ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
