Quoting messages on reply
Hi I've currently set my quoting when I reply to messages to be initials. This means that if I'm replying to Joe Bloggs, the quoted text looks like: JB> This is text that JB> Joe Bloggs wrote A user of Agent tells me that if I use this format, Agent doesn't highlight the quoted text. So I'd like to change my reply quoting to look like this: >JB: This is text that >JB: Joe Bloggs wrote Is this possible? -- Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Sorting Office Filters
A couple of oddities: I subscribe to three mailing lists, of which this is one. I have filters to send messages from each list to its own folder. Two of these filters look for an expression in "kludges", the other looks for a simple string in "subject". When I use the mouse to move between the filters, the "location" field seems to stay set to the first filter rule. eg. if I start by looking at a filter where location is "kludges" then "kludges" is dispayed even if "subject" has been set. And the filters which look for an expression in "kludges" works, but the fikter which looks for a simple string in "subject" doesn't. Any thoughts? -- Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Personally I really, really didn't get on with Opera's tab'ed window scheme, and the only reason I continued my evaluation of Opera beyond the first few minutes was that it offered the alternative option of a separate window for each session.

If The Bat! ever does move to a more MDI type interface, I hope that an option is retained to keep things the way they are now.

First AV
I've been using TB! for about 6 weeks now and just had my first AV. I was looking at the folder into which this mailing list is filtered, the scheduled mail connection happened, and after that the folder seemed empty and I sometimes got AVs moving to other folders. Kill TB! via the task manager (it wouldn't exit gracefully as it thought it had tasks active) and restart, and everything now seems OK. a) Should I be worried by this? b) Should I send an error report to someone? -- Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Auto Wrap is on, but Auto Format is off. The latter seems to be what I need. One minor irritation: Auto Format doesn't seem to understand the "minus minus space" .sig separator, and wraps the separator and following lines if you type on the blank line above the .sig separator. -- Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Yes, IMHO, if it's cheap enough. Loads of people would get them for their kids. It wouldn't be cool'n'trendy, so no-one would steal it. It would be functional, and it wouldn't be the end of the world if it got lost or damaged. And it would enable parents to say: "I'll give you a phone so that you can call us in an emergency, but I won't help you play 'my phone is cooler than yours' with your mates." But it would be nice if it had SMS. Perhaps that's the problem: we all want a simple email program, but it would be nice if it had XYZ. And if everyone's XYZ is different...
