I realize that TBUDL is not a forum for complaining, ;-) but, in all candor, I share your pessimism about The Bat! ever supporting Unicode.
In fact, the lack of Unicode support is the main reason that I still am evaluating The Bat! and cannot "get off the fence" and decide whether or not to register it, or to use another, less powerful, e-mail client, such as Thunderbird, which does offer Unicode support.
I first used The Bat! in March 2000, when I was teaching an HTML workshop to teachers in Kiev (Kyiv), Ukraine. I had never heard of The Bat! before, but I liked the program, based upon this brief exposure to it. (In addition, I am drawn to ANY Windows e-mail client that offers security.)
If I did not have so many friends in Ukraine and Russia, the issue of Unicode support would be of little importance to me, but these friends appreciate me using even a little bit of Russian (particularly, my fiancee, in Odessa), even if my Russian IS rudimentary and incoherent at times. :-)
<RANT> I would register The Bat! immediately, if I thought that the program would actually support Unicode someday, but the few responses I have received from the developers lead me to be very pessimistic, indeed. </RANT>
Cordially,
