OK, The Bat! assumes that any unread mail is "new". Therefore,
"unread" and "new" messages are treated the same way. However, if you
have found how to indicate by sound when a new mail has arrived, you
can also create a filter catching all incoming messages and run an
external program (Account/Sorting Office/Incoming Mail/New). As
"filering string" in "rule" you choose a catch-all, for example "@"
present in 'kludges' (TB's word for 'headers'). Then under the Action
tab, you click on "Run external program" and have your coffee machine
make a double espresso. ;-)

Hold down the ALT key while dragging them.

Email: headers + body = raw message. HTML: some picture thing.
However, if you tick Options/External Image Viewer, any HTML
attachment will open in you favourite browser in which you can view
the source.

The viewer works perfectly, only in TB. If the images are sent with
the message, they will be shown. However, often enough they are not,
and the email client is required to conntact to the internet and "get"
these images. NS, Eudora and OE do that, and we dont' like it: it's a
security problem. We don't want TB to do this.
B> 5) Is the toolbar configurable? I can't see how to do it.
AFAIK I think it's not configurable. But we do have a wish list. ;-)
