Hello all, I didn't really follow the development of version 2, but I surely picked up "support for HTML" all along the long road leading to the release of version 2. To my great surprise this support is really very limited. Too limited in my opinion, and it does not even function well. Now, I personally never use formatted e-mail (I use The Bat! ;-)), but I there are several instances when HTML format does add quality to the message created.
For one: I maintain a scientific NGO's mailinglist and for obvious reasons a well structured HTML formatted e-mail is superior to any text message (And here you might feel provoked ;-)). So we do use HTML and our current implementation of it with The Bat! includes several work-arounds. It seems that with the release of version 2 we'll have to live with these work-arounds a little longer, since replying, forwarding or redirecting an HTML formatted message does not preserve the original HTML format (as it should be IMO, and even included in the sorting office as an option). (For another: Kids...) Also the current HTML editing capacities are unsatisfactory. Simply from a general point of view: I cannot use TAB to align, I think supporting of (un)numbered lists is basic (but currently lacking) and not supporting alignment on the level of a paragraph seems unsatisfactory to me as well. And what seems to be a a bug to me (or at least a bad implementation): My boilerplate includes e-mail addresses and Internet addresses in the form of <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <http://visit.here.org>. If I change between the different message formats while composing my e-mail, these tags are deleted by The Bat!. -- Best regards, Gerrit Kiers Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00.6 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
