I would also like an option to choose which editor is to be used (HTML or not), but not as a 'default for everything' editor, rather I'd like to see that in my address book. I have some family members I always write in HTML, since they like doing the same, and when I send serious mail, usually I wouldn't want to send HTML, so just a general default wouldn't help me one bit. But a per address book entry setting would be great! _If someone from Ritlabs is reading my 2 cents: Can't we have that???_ About everyone screaming about HTML mail, I don't really get that. Like, especially from us BAT users! TB is stripping the HTML mail of anything bad, I thought? Linked images and other stuff like that doesn't work here anyway. I'd say no one (or at least only very few) wants THAT much of HTML. What we want is to have the ability to choose the color, style, background, font, and add pictures WITHIN the text. As with everything, it's a question of how it's used, and certainly there will always be the guys that add purple background with violet clouds to the pinkish text! Certainly there will always be specialists that will have animated background even. But I'd expect that to be sorted out rather quickly (DEL key is never that far). It's just that I don't like to see how something, that is (not necessary, but) nice has to be abolished, because of those few jerks. It should be a free choice, and all the negative fallout that *might* happen can be sorted out. After all, I *can* already switch manually to HTML, add all the nasty things, ugly font, disgusting colors, and a tasteless background, and mail that to you guys via this mailing list. The point is, if something *is* already there, and it *can* be useful, why forbid it? If someone is so eager to send _you_ a 'vomit-mail' (TM), and the Bat doesn't allow it, then this someone will happily switch to Incredimail (TM, too ;-), and then what did we win? We are still restricted (and I think we are mostly reasonable guys anyway), and the tasteless guys are NOT restricted! -- Regards, Jurgen "It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind.
