Hallo everybody,

I'm new on this list and new to The Bat. Is it allowed to ask several questions in one 
mail, or should it be only one question per mail? I take a chance and start out with 
the two most urgent ones.

The Bat 2.10.03 on Win2K, stand alone

1. When I want to download mails from the server, 4 or 8 mails are downloaded without 
any problem. Then the hard disk starts to work and goes on working for ca 15 minutes. 
During this time, the progress bar hangs and doesn't show any progress. After that The 
Bat claims that the download is finished. However, only the 4 or 8 first mails are 
downloaded. To download the rest of the mails from the server, I have to click on "get 
mails" once again - and this time I get the rest in seconds, no matter if it is only a 
couple, or 50, or 100.

After some days, it occurred to me that of course the program was checking for 
viruses, so I deactivated all the options for virus checking. No change. Then I 
thought it must be checking for spam, so I deactivated all these options, too, and 
deleted the Bayes plugin. But the only thing that happened was that The Bat now 
doesn't do this every time I check my mail, only in the morning when I start up my 
computer. The funny thing is that it is always exactly 4 or 8 mails that I receive 
before the hard disk starts to work, and it always takes around 15 minutes. I only 
have a modem and it drives me _crazy_. No other mail program does this. If I try to 
cancel the download, I get a warning that the mails may be marked a read and thus not 
downloaded the next time. What on earth it is The Bat does and how do I make this 
stop???

2.  It's impossible to start a new line by pressing Enter. As soon as I start writing 
on the new line, that word pops up to the line above. I want it to look like this:
Name
Address 
Phone
Mail 

...but in order to show you this, I have to write this mail in another mail program. 
With The Bat, it would look like this: Name Address Phone Mail

Sometimes I get it to work with two lines, but never with three or more. The program 
seems to ignore the Enter button function "new line". How do I fix this?

Extremely grateful for your help.
Kind regards,
Britt
 
P.S.  I only found this English list. Theres isn't by any chance a The Bat mailing 
list in German?
