Well FWIW, I have to say that ver 2.12 was pretty damned stable for me and most users. There were features that were never added and a few problems with some of the less commonly used features (IMAP & PGP, for example). But I could have (and considered) used it for the foreseeable future. RL >> The Bat! version that you purchased is fully functional and has no time RL >>> limit in using. W> Fully functional ? Wrong again ! I prefer understood "fully W> bugged functional". And what about support ? There is *NO* bug free software that is as complicated as an email client. OE has bugs, Eudora has bugs, Agent Mail has bugs, pegusus has bugs ... see a pattern here? <g> In the 3 or 4 years that I have been using TB, I have never had to contact Support on a technical issue. So I was not worried about the lack of support. RL >>> limit in using. Upgrading is optional. W> Such a strangely advice from a commercial company !

If you don't need the things that they never got working reliably, it works remarkably well and is stable as all get out. I considered that, but in the end (just this week, in fact) I decided that the cost was so minimal for the improvements that I decided to go ahead and upgrage. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.0.2.1 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
