On Tue, 3 Dec 2002 00:06:27 +0000 your time, you said: MDP> ... This version of TB is text-centric and many of us appreciate it MDP> that way. Indeed, and I personally have no wish to send or receive LookOut style messages via The Bat!; If I wanted all the superfluous decorative paraphernalia that goes with OL and OLE type clients I'd have stuck with M$'s pitiful offerings. - - and I'll be first in the queue with my trusty rectification stick ready to wrap the knuckles of the first person this year to send we a ruddy *funny* Xmas carol wav and a dancing Santa animation via LookOut or LookOut Express email! <grrrrrr> MDP> Version 2, currently under development is scheduled to include HTML MDP> composition. Many die-hard users are still disgusted with this and are MDP> threatening jumping ship should it indeed be the case. The Thomas Murner expression springs to my mind here: "Das kindt mit dem bad vß schitten", or in my tongue, "To throw the baby out with the bath water". If all of the great features present in this version of TB! are carried over to the elusive v2, and other often requested features are to be added to v2 as well, it would be completely foolish IMO to even begin to consider dumping TB! simply because of the inclusion of an option that you don't wish to make use of yourself. Let's face it, people send HTML mail, and we still receive it, and using TB! doesn't prevent that from occurring. Although I have absolutely no wish to use an HTML feature should it be introduced, the addition of such a feature as an option would probably bring more potential users haring towards TB! for a trial. That can only be a good thing, surely? And I am sure that any _remaining_ 'die hard' core users would soon be able to whop the *text-based email illiterati* into shape - well from my experiences of this list I am in no doubt of that ;-) - -- Slán, Simon @ theycallmesimon.co.uk ****************************************** PGP Key: http://pgp.theycallmesimon.co.uk/ Faffing about with TB! v1.61 on W2K SP3 #3065.
