Most html messages come with a plain text and a html part, the html part being an attachment. The tabs are there to allow easy switching between both parts. You can tell the bat! that you only want one of the parts displayed or which of the parts as default. Go to options -> Viewer/Editor -> Display html messages using/ Display messages with alternative layout.. and choose what ever suits you.

Kay There are always problems when starting to use a new program. some things may work different than you are used to. Maybe they work better, maybe just in a different way. Anyway, we will happily try to help you. Don't give up on tb! yet. It's really a great program.
