I have editor settings I'm happy with, but I couldn't explain how I got to those settings (probably trial and error in the past). Like many facilities in TB! "beginner" and "expert" approaches would be useful although hard work to implement; the program is phenomenally powerful but all of that power is (potentially) exposed no matter who the user is.

JR> John Rainer Wow, I thought everyone is all in love with the way BAT handles things. I must say that I am not happy with the way many things are handled. I am a BAT fan, which comes from the fact that Outlook sucks really badly, and that I just like the fact that this tool is so incredibly fast and loaded with functionality. BUT: I think there is a point when things start to be a little bad, for example this wrapping thing. Next thing I really cannot stand is the fact that the programmers spell Microsoft with a Dollar sign - I know, this shouldn't be a problem, but come on: almost EVERYONE here uses Windows, and XP really is an excellent OS - so much for that. Problem is further, that they REFUSE to give the option of using internet explorer's dll to show HTML content - are we back in stone age? I just want the OPTION, I don't want it to be a preset, just an OPTION - like John said, both camps can be satisfied if the programmers wouldn't be so concentrated on the "technical camp". I do not want to offend anyone by this, please don't feel like I don't like BAT, I love it, it's just that there are certain things I totally disagree with - hope everyone understands this.
