Bouncing Emails
To me, the thing that sets TheBat is its ability to bounce (in addition to forward) emails. I don't see that in Mozilla, Thunderbird, but it is there (sort of) in Outlook. What other email clients have the ability to bounce emails? Thanks. -- Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello TBUDL, When I double-click on a URL in an email message, nothing happens.
