They are secret plugins, then. Plugins that you can't install unless you already know of their existence. Plugins that are spread by word of mouth.

It depends then, on what's available on the download area of the ritlabs website. >> Does the current version's message editor continue to support the >> WordStar type free caret?

They did what ZMail (a good single account email client from NetManage) did. So the upgrade wasn't really that radical. Are there any differences in v. 2 for viewing html mail?

It shouldn't, for registered TB! users. Today's the last day, then. Maybe I'll do it now. TF> IMHO the current discounted price is a bargain, since your TF> initial purchase is so long ago. Upgrades rarely cost the same as an original purchase. I've never consider changing over, but Foxmail (freeware) has a built in hotmail user feature and can send mail from my mail15.com account. Try opening account there (it's as easy to open as myrealbox was - not data is asked for) and try to send mail using TB!. I've tried all possible options but haven't found a way to get TB! to use their smtp server.
