Why didn't they put it in a Manfred menu? [...] So easily missed! You should also be aware that there are a number of other helpful functions, macros, templates, shortcut keys which are not obvious either. However, they can be found in TB! support files on line. I've downloaded read these files found them very helpful; there is an overwhelming amount of info. IMO, if there's a weakness in TB! it is the organization of the support/help info. However, the style quality of support on this list does not leave a user out on a limb. There is an argument to be made that extensive manuals are not really studied by most users, that they shouldn't be necessary to operate a program, etc. But there's an argument that can be made that an on-line manual-type help area would be useful as well. Hello Jan, I've said it before and I say it again. TheBat is IMHO the best and most powerful email client out there. (It lacks some common features like HTML, no flames please). But to learn it with the info provided is quite impossible. This group is great but one cannot expect the "normal" (business)user to join this group to get the program working the way he likes it (or better is used to from the client he's coming from). The help files are outdated and a lot of stuff is missing. Cannot somebody take the online information, convert it to a online HTML-help file or PDF document, let them put an option in the help menu for this and include the lot in the distribution file. Shouldn't be difficult and would help a lot. What do you think?

Re: Selected quote with Reply to All
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On Fri, 17 Nov 2000 14:56:05 +, Manfred Ell contributed this to the collective wisdom of the human race: ME I've said it before and I say it again. TheBat is IMHO the best and ME most powerful email client out there. (It lacks some common features ME like HTML, no flames please). TB!'s editor doesn't support composing HTML mail (I personally don't see why it couldn't or shouldn't). Otherwise, TB! does have HTML support. It has its own internal viewer. :=) The internal viewer will not retrieve images or other web-page components which are embedded in documents as links. This is a favourable setup for security reasons. Security that isn't appreciated until one gets bitten, I hasten to add. :=) Some may also complain that TB!'s internal viewer will not display certain HTML documents as they should. Well, although the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) exists to try to maintain standards in the various markup languages, deviations from what is standard still very much exist, and many pages continue to display differently even between the major browsers. If the HTML document doesn't display correctly with TB!'s internal viewer, then double click the HTML attachment and it will be displayed in your favourite browser. I know it's inconvenient for some, but the security benefits behind such an implementation isn't really appreciated until one is bitten before using TB!, or when one is not bitten using TB! while everyone else around them is being bitten when using Outlook( Express)?. I guess it's all up for debate and God knows, this topic has had its fair share of debating. Everyone knows the 'benefits' of HTML support as you see it. My aim here is to simply summarize, for the newcomers around here, how those of us who prefer TB!'s type of support feel. :=) One cannot really expect TB! to be the end all and be all of solutions for every user but I do hope that they continue to uphold a model of secure e-mail management that is rapidly becoming unpopular, it would seem. :=/ None of what I said so far is officially from Ritlabs or its developers, so we don't know how development will proceed in this regard. It will certainly depend on the target customer base and what they want. ME But to learn it with the info provided is quite impossible.

Shouldn't be ME difficult and would help a lot. Do you know how to do this? I do prefer the new HTML based Windows help system myself. I think it would take quite a bit of time and effort to do this conversion. Then the burning question arises. Why convert it when it lacks so much information?
