MG> 3.6.24 is broken

You mean 3.62.14, right? I tested and agree with your observation, but
that functionality does not affect me (fortunately). The show stopper
with 3.62.14 for me is its lack of speed. The re-draws are very
noticeable, there is a lag when opening messages, and closing TB after
running for some time takes FOREVER. Vili has apparently solved his
problem with speed, but compared to earlier builds, 3.62.14 is
positively pokey. The shut down speed is unacceptable - I ahve no
other program on my systems, email or otherwise, that take as long to
shut down. I can even boot up Windows XP Professional in a shorter
time.

There is a thread which speculates that the cause could be a slow hard
drive rotation speed, graphics card, insufficient processor speed,
insufficient RAM, etc. For what? The Bat does not require the latest
hardware and can be run comfortably on a Windows 98 system. Until the
latest beta series, it has been very responsive. So I agree with your
reasons for sticking with an earlier version and extend them to
include the issue of speed.
