If you ask me, they should fix the known bugs (it's a very long list by now), release 1.54, then overhaul the interface, release it as next version or as 1.54a, and then start playing with new features. Half-implemented things klike the SmartPad should be taken out first, as it will cost time and effort to iron out those bugs for the new features, and 1.54 doesn't really need them. The new features are good (I love especially the msgid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] linking), but if they are buggy, they should be delayed until the next beta series. Fix the old bugs first, is my mantra. ;-) Clearly there is disquiet among the beta testers :) I've agreed to do the takes ages and is very boring run through this weekend then produce a sort of über-bug report on all the inconsistencies in the (existing) interface. (There are a lot - as well as the problems noted with confirmation, or lack of confirmation, there are many instances where controls, particularly menu items, should be greyed out but are not).

Re: Possible to Disable Security question ?
Hi ! Using Beta 28 I created a new shortcut for marking all messages read. The only unnecessary thing left over is the box popping up asking Do you really want... This is useless for me handling 30+ Folders. Is it possible to shut the feature down ? In a good program, especially such as a mail client, every notorious question (simply put - every) should be carrying don't ask this again ckeckbox. Look at OE, for example, they realize that, and they are Microsoft! By the way, OE interface looks much smoother and cleaner than The Bat!'s. -- Anton I.

OE looks and feels better because Microsoft has graphics artists and user interface designers everywhere and _pours_ money into usability testing. In addition, it controls the user interface standards so can always deem what's right with everyone rushing to catch up.

Getting rid of this sort of inconsistency really requires someone to spend a long time going through the program systematically testing every control; it takes ages and is very boring ... but necessary. It takes much less time to project everything beforehand. Look at The Bat! developers. They are fixing numerous bugs which came from their projection mistaker. For example, there was a bug that message list settings were automatically saved in main window and were not saved in a separate window. If they'll invent some new message list somewhere - there'll be bugs and bugs again. They'll have to check everything. That's only a question of planning and projecting. OE looks and feels better because Microsoft has graphics artists and user interface designers everywhere and _pours_ money into usability testing. In addition, it controls the user interface standards so can always deem what's right with everyone rushing to catch up. Of course. But The Bat!'s usability suffers. Look suffers. It could be improved, and it should be improved. But it seems to me that developers think about implementing different notepads, expression calculations, they decided to develop yet another HTML control - a good time waste, and I'll not be surprised when I'll see clock and mp3 player in TB. I'm dissappointed. -- Anton I.
