Granted, I've been skimming most of the posts in this thread after the first several dozen, so maybe I missed something. But I thought the discussion was simply mirroring TBUDL to a newsgroup so those who prefer newsgroup browsing to mailing lists would have the opportunity to do so. I didn't think we were talking about a change in the development of TB. > Granted I originally wanted news reader capability and I don't > really use IMAP, I'd still like the development of IMAP continue > because in my eyes it is more important. As for mirroring the ML's to a newsgroup, I wouldn't use it myself, but as long as appropriate anti-spam measures are in place (email address obfuscation, etc), I'm all for it. I didn't think the discussion was about newsreading capabilities in TB. If it comes to that, I would prefer it be done by way of a plugin so it is completely optional and not just adding clutter. And I'll second the motion for further IMAP development :) -- Dave Using The Bat! v2.04.7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.04.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
