Some people don't want it OFF by Default (as in, the capability is not there, by Default unless the User chooses to Configure the capability through either a check-box in Preferences or a choice at Installation.) Tony, for example--unless I have misread him--wants it ON (the capability) with no choice to disable, and a button appearing in the Headers with which to choose at each message whether to Display or not. I can just see myself accidentally clicking on such a button and here comes my sister Sue's latest worm--I am dead serious here, Thomas, and not speaking ironically. Mic came to my defense and tried to explain it to Tony, but Tony rejected the idea even after Mic explained it. So, please, don't you misunderstand, also, Thomas. I am not quite as disabled as a blind person, but I am truly afflicted with a left-right orientation disability, part of the perceptual-motor configuration of my brain--sometimes referred to by the misnomer "dyslexia." I don't want any functioning HTML buttons on my toolbar or in the headers. I want you, Thomas, and all those who have a need like yours, to have the HTML capability for use in business and otherwise, as soon as possible after IMAP has been made fully functional. Tony wants that too. But he wants to leave me at risk, with a button I could accidentally click on. > Some people (like my suicidal self) want to turn it ON by > choice, but there is no ON because of philosophical reasons. And > that's all we are talking about: "Should there be a (hidden?) ON > switch?" That's the only question. I want you to be able to turn it ON (as in, Configure the Capability) in Preferences (a one-time choice and not with every message as Tony seems to envision) or else as a Configuration choice at Installation (the situation now with TB!

My fervent prayer is that this--Fix Bugs in Deep Alpha/Make IMAP fully functional/Make HTML suit the needs of those asking for it--will be the order of business!! -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.0.2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.1 Deep Alpha | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
