Only, I haven't ever used it, so didn't actually "know" of it. Facelift is definitely needed, but not a serious issue. "Serious" and "Grave" for me means making the programme unusable - at least for newbies - in its core capability as an MUA. HTML rendering lacks a bit, but I don't count that as an issue for two reasons: 1. Some of the "bugs" are only missing features - and those I can gladly live without (GET images). It's more a design decision based upon ones philosophy. 2. If I have a badly rendered HTML message - regardless whose fault it is - I just open the HTML attachment in my browser. > raise this in my mind: not whether B49 is a release candidate, but > what type of release candidate is it?

I don't think 154/49 should be published as the pimpernelian v2. due to the many new features and some major overhaul of source code it would deserve a 1.7 or even 1.9 - closing up upon Agent. Although I more than once in the past openly voiced my negative opinion upon us discussing marketing issues, I think it is high time to do that. The reasons are simple, this list was the reason 1.54 wasn't released before Christmas. And the points you raise in your message are valid but need some customers input. >From all those negative reviews lately having been around, which all state "no development for a lot of time", I think a small boost for RITLabs would be in order. And isn't it us knowing what is needed? As long as we don't lose ourselves in details that may be unimportant for the big picture. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/49 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C Arbeit um der Arbeit willen ist gegen die Natur.
