Things do go wrong, for lots of people as the threads here and in TBETA show, but I've personally never had a really big crash or lost lots of mail (which I keep backed up anyway). > Finally, if you have recommendations, let's hear them. This includes > recommending e-mail clients for me to use instead. Well it seems that you have a bit of a problem with every mail client that you use. If TB is really that bad I can't understand why you are staying with it and why don't you just move to Becky. > Those who do allow it are often revered and often have the best > product anyway. That's it. I'm not a PC wizard but I've tried both Eudora and Becky and very quickly chose TB, warts and all, as it far outshines the others IMHO. > Now, sincere recommendations? I look forward to your $200 offering but I don't think you'll get many takers as it'll have to be way better than TB (a very difficult thing in itself) which sells for a quarter of your projected price. -- Regards, Richard | Using The Bat! 2.10.01 & SpamPal | Windows 2000 (build 2195), version 5.0 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
