That's what I mean by dilettantes. If CNET is to be trusted, they have
to verify for themselves all the information they receive from
developers.
If Eudora wrote them, "We have just released the finest email client
in the history of humankind," would CNET include such a statement in
their newsletter?

Nor is it mine.

I believe that Marck or Allie or any other Anglophone on this list
(you?) would be the ideal person to do that. Perhaps a joint effort of
the TBUDL list is called for here, to compose a blurb of, let's say,
15 lines, that says it *all* about The Bat. Especially, the 15 lines
need to point out what *really* makes The Bat stand out from all the
other mail clients.
The CNET blurb is absurd because nearly everything mentioned there can
be accomplished by any decent or even not so decent mail client, yes,
even LookOut.
