I don't want more windows
I'm beginning to suspect one of the more offputting things - for me - about Pegasus and The Bat! is the fact that windows seem to open up on me when and where I don't expect them to. I really like a single document interface, as Opera calls it, and subwindows that are all maximized within a regulated scheme. Is there something simple I can do about this behaviour? Maybe if I can fix that I could stick with The Bat! instead of returning to Eudora permanently (from M2).

Ughhh. :-) I remember we had this conversation on the TB lists about 5 years ago Ba (for those that remember grin) IMHO, for some programs SDI is ok (browsers, but even then, I don't use them as SDI), but with TB, I want to be able to move Windows around and reference back and forth. This is especially important on multi-monitor systems. I have the TB main window on the right screen and open e-mails (sized just right) on the left along with folders and whatnot. Making TB SDI would do the exact opposite for me. I'd have to go! grin -- :Leif_Gregory: (TB list moderator and fellow end user). Tagline of the day: Someone stole my electrolytic capacitor!

This is especially important on multi-monitor systems. same here. i have dual monitor, and usually open the old mail on the right and write reply on the left by referring the old mail. i cannot imagine if i cannot move them around as separate windows. and these are really very personal opinions. if thebat goes to SDI, some other people is gonna complain :) -- Samson, using Agent newsreader Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I really like a single document MF interface, as Opera calls it, and subwindows that are all maximized within MF a regulated scheme. 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. Similarly with MS Word: I much prefer the newer versions of MS Word that don't have that horrible MDI thing. I'm not quite sure why multiple windows works better for me; I expect many of these things are personal preferences. MF Is there something simple I can do about this MF behaviour? Maybe if I can fix that I could stick with The Bat! instead of MF returning to Eudora permanently (from M2). 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. Perhaps your example of Opera is the best way forward: Opera provides both options.
