Why do people stick to The Bat! when they switch to Linux?

[MFPA]

Hi


Over the years I have often seen mention on this list of using The
Bat! on a Linux box under Wine, or in a Windows VM, or even by booting
Windows just to use TB!. Presumably some of those concerned have made 
this decision after trialling a range of Linux mail clients and 
finding them wanting in some way. 

I was recently looking at a table of suggested Linus equivalents of 
Windows software at 
. They have an 
entry for "Email client in The Bat style" with five suggestions: 
Sylpheed, Claws Mail, Kmail, Gnus, and Balsa.

Are such mail clients really so poor as to merit keeping a Windows 
client on a Linux machine?

The  definitive  answer is that any non alpha-numeric can be used as a
delimiter.
