The Bat! opens a new window viewing the folder containing the message you have double-clicked, not just the message. You can show or hide the message list in that window via its view menu. > I don't like using the preview pane because of spam > avoidance (both HTML bugs and just having to see the > stupid things at all), but those extra taskbar buttons > for each message really take up a lot of space. Linked images (HTML bugs included, obviously) will only be displayed in TB! if you specifically tell it to, either on an image-by-image basis or by whitelisting a domain.

(Or are there freebies that I'm not > seeing?) I believe some contributors to this list use free spam filters. I find that care with who I give my address to, coupled with appropriate use of disposable email addresses, keeps it down to maybe a dozen spam messages a week out of about 800 received. > (3) I'm also strongly used to keeping messages in > ascending order, and Eudora would always open a message > list with the last (newest) message visible at the > bottom.

In the main window, go to View | Message List Columns and set the order and threading that suits you best. I don't understand why TB! is causing you to have to scroll down every time, as it has always opened my folders with focus on the last message I viewed in that folder. > I think that's all for now.
