There are two methods: 1) File -> Save as... 2) Tools -> Export message to -> Unix mailbox Both methods save a file with extension .mbox, even if I try to override it by putting an extension like .txt at the end of the name. What's also weird is that I cannot change the name of the file while TB! is still active. I have to close TB! in order to rename the file.

I've forgotten most about the backgrounds but I still remember Uuencoding is one of the first (perhaps even the first) methods to convert binary data into text (and back). If you want to know more about it see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uuencode In any case Uuencode and MIME are completely different things. I don't know the the exact cause of this specific Beta! problem, but I suspect it's The Beta!'s inability to recognize _inline_ Uuencoded text. I use Forte Agent. In Agent one has the choice how to handle binary "text". MIME or Uuencoded. Inside the message text body or as an attachment. Which means Agent has no trouble whatsover recognizing Uuncoding in Usenet AND email messages.

In one of your previous messages you stated that delayed sending worked a couple of beta's ago. So why not stay with that version until (hopefully) this bug is being fixed? IMHO using TB! comes down to just doing that. Keep with the version that works best for you and has the least annoying bugs. There have always been bugs in TB! and there always will be. So if you're relatively satisfied with one version, be happy to use that.

Often the breakage occurs in areas that have no conceptual relationship with the area that was changed. Such errors fill the hearts of managers with foreboding.

This discussion took place two years ago. So Ritlabs could have known what they got themselves into when they decided to protect their software with Themida. It's just the same story all over again. Years ago there used to exist an anti-spam plugin named BayesIt! There have been numerous discussions about problems with BayesIt! on this list.

That's why version 4.2 has Postponed Sending (implementation of which was, I guess, exciting and fun to do), but still no advancements in IMAP. I believe Ritlabs are facing a hard time.

In a way it is funny indeed, because everything is so predictable. Release 4.1 was an unpleasant surprise for many users, because they were, suddenly & without warning, reduced to "unregistered" status. V. 4.1, in hindsight, also needed "important bugfixes", which led to: Release 4.2, which has above mentioned "important bugfixes", but also, amongst other symptoms, Postponed Sending, messed-up Tips- Of-The-Day and broken OTFE. This is specifically funny for seasoned TB! users, because they know these cock-ups are not merely incidental accidents, but an integral and important part of Ritlabs' software release history. For example, almost 5 years ago I tried to install an early 3.x release version which had some inferior Bayesian plug-in (Bayes-It!) integrated. The result of those attempts: Access Violations all over the place and a plug-in that resisted uninstallment at all cost. This is just a single example. Soon after this disaster I gave up on TB! and since then I only use it for archiving purposes. Believe me. I've been on TBUDL and TBBETA since version 1.4x and it has always been like this (and I guarantee you it will always be like this). Nothing surprises me anymore.Each new Ritlabs blunder just fills me with mild amusement. Otherwise I couldn't care less.

Forte Agent is an example of such software. On the Forte WWWebsite there is a roadmap. We know what we can expect in the next version. Beta testing is being done by a closed group of beta testers. And when version 5 will at last hit the main road we KNOW it will be a finished product without any easily discernable or obvious bugs.

You're missing the point. The reality is very simple. Fact 1: Ritlabs is advertising a Release Version (4.0.38) on its WWWebsite. Fact 2: There is a list of KNOWN issues and bugs in this Release Version. IMO, the courteous thing to do for Ritlabs would be to handle the issues, fix the bugs and provide the user (who isn't aware of the ongoing Alfa-, Beta-, RC- or whatever "development" and who probably doesn't need version 4.1.x) with a 4.0 Release Version that is as stable and usable as possible. Ritlabs doesn't do that. Instead they are throwing in yet another series of half baked Alfa- Beta-, RC- or whatever versions that have some bugs fixed and others introduced to a group of "beta-testers" who are just able to say: "up and running". This is not an incident, it has gone on for many, many years. I have given up four years ago. I don't want to pay in order to be used as a guinea pig.

True, but why is it that some programs (Forte Agent comes to mind) _never_ crash or show otherwise buggy behaviour, and others (Total Commander comes to mind) seem to have the label "bug alert" printed all over them?
