I left the Bat and ended up coming back. I share some links in groups and use Outlook Express for that since I can copy pictures and words with underlying links from web pages and paste them into emails and they will work which the bat cannot do at this point. Also OE can embed sounds When Ritlabs starts working on that part of the HTML editor I will get very interested but I am certainly not going to get abusive because it does not currently have those particular features. It has so much more. -- Rick Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock. - John Barrymore v4.1.1.5 RC1 (BETA) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current beta is 4.1.1.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It has IMAP, FIlters and plugins so you can make it exactly the way you want it. -- Rick Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts.

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. If you are happy with it and want to continue using it, that's fine. But I think you should not try to obfuscate TheBat's troubles by merely trumpetting its virtues.
