Hello Robert Silver, On or about Friday, January 17, 2003 at 08:15:54GMT -0500 (which was 8:15 AM in the tropics where I live) Robert Silver blithered:
RS> Why can't the bat with all its extra features many of them nice but RS> some of them not that important do the following: RS> (1) Edit or use an existing HTML editor in a seamless manner God forbid! This is why I LIKE TB! Goodbye to bloatmail!! I will soon be implementing a filter that sends to trash and deletes any e-mail containing HTML - PERIOD! RS> (2) Have the option of viewing HTML pages in its viewer. The double RS> clicking attachments is cumbersome. It would be much better if that RS> feature was simply optional and utilized function calls to existing RS> browser code like Hotmetal used to do or other HTML editors could. This involves serious viral risk, of which TB! has little or none. I want to see it stay that way! RS> (3) Read NNTP News Groups One word - AGENT! RS> (4) Improve the capability of backing up and restoring configuration RS> information. It should be easy to backup any feature be it folder RS> Sorting FILTERS etc.. This one's covered - Tools -> Backup -> Checkboxes Wanting everything rolled into one is what causes vulnerability and bloatware. Leave TB just as it is, a simple and efficient mail client, as it should be! All the things you mentioned are the very reason TB! is gaining poularity. We don't WANT a MS Outhouse clone, that's why we LEFT! -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike "Of all the animals, the boy is the most unmanageable." - Plato -------------------------------------------------- Flying in the stratosphere with The Bat!
