that the image is no cut off, but it is shown smaller than the frame.
As I don't have a screenshot software on this computer and don't want
to bore you with a bmp in Word, let me draw:

TF> The picture is complete, but rendered too small. Bug.
VK> Interesting. On my computer, the right hand part of the image is
cut off. Are you also on TB 4.2.6?

TF> I have little black lines all over the place, no rectangles. I don't
think the images are rendered incorrectly, but the HTML code is
interpreted wrongly.
VK> Again, sounds like it renders a little differently on your
computer than on mine. (We can always exchange screen shots via
private email if it becomes necessary.) I was assuming the black
stuff is spacer gifs intended to be transparent rendering
incorrectly, so image rendering--looks very much like that--but it
could be something else--I still don't feel like looking at the
underlying HTML...
Basically, I can confirm both HTML mails are rednered incorrectly.
Kindly issue a butracker entry and I will suppport.
VK> Thank you. Will do. Might take me a couple weeks. Have to get
through this conversion first. (These emails are the least of my
urgent worries, because on my computer, I can click on that menu and
open them in Firefox really fast.)

TF> That is correct. I've been with the project for 10 years now, and
TheBat! is still work in progress. It is fun to watch it develop, and
frustrating when something you especially like suddenly doesn't work
any more. Most people stick with it anyway, helping the developers to
find the problem.
VK> I think I'm going to jump for it. I finally figured out how to
get my emails back after quick search (without exiting the program),
and that seems to have pushed me over the line. I have 4 more days on
my 30 day free trial. I've just been looking and playing. I think I
will pay for it, and spend most of next weekend completing the
conversion... Leap of faith that the HTML email and image download
stuff gets better enough not to make me crazy. Could you give me an
example of something you especially like that stopped working? Did it
ever start working again?
Thanks,
Velma
