The last time I looked, practically all past versions were available for download, including at least some betas. >> Are there any differences in v. 2 for viewing html mail?

It's quite good, for a freebie. I think it even has templates, now. >> and can send mail from my mail15.com account.

LookOut even works with it. mail15.com is Russian and has a link for configuring TB! to work with it, but the link itself doesn't work the last time I looked.

Catch you latter. -- Douglas ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
