Hi Doug,
On 17 November 2000 at 19:09:10 +0000 (which was 19:09 where I
live) Doug Weller wrote and made these points:

DW> :-)
Understood and accepted. I was careful *not* to be insulting (note
"seem" and "veiled") and, as I said at the time (and this was
sincere):

Please understand that it is a known standard practice for competitors
to join mailing lists and start a fight just for the "flying fur" of
it. As moderator it is my job to be vigilant and nip any such attack
"in the bud". Again, I apologize for tarring you with this particular
brush. I don't mean or wish to scare /you/ off.
DW> Well, I hope you accept that I intended to cause no offense and am
DW> genuinely interested in The Bat as an alternative.
I do. In which case, back to the issue... did you understand that you
*can* do what you are looking for in TB by dragging a message to the
OutBox and editing it there before returning it to the folder where
you want to keep it?
While it may not be as simple as the Calypso method, you may find that
the way TB does the stuff it's *really* strong on may give you good
reason to give it a try.
DW> However, given your strong position on this
It's not that strong - just a leaning really.
DW> and guessing that you might have influence on its development,
None at all :-). As Curtis has already explained, I am just a humble
user who drew the short straw (okay, volunteered to draw the short
straw <g>) and ended up running this list for my sins. Okay, RIT labs
talk to me about some issues on occasion but I certainly wouldn't go
as far as to say that I have any influence over them.
DW> The Bat might never have this feature that I think is essential
DW> for my needs.
I think that, as has been said, editing in the outbox can cover the
need ... surely you wouldn't want to change *every* mail you receive,
would you? Or are you modifying every subject for cataloging purposes?
I'm just guessing wildly now, aren't I <g>.
Anyway, unless you start using TB in "anger", you're not going to know
if the slightly longer way of achieving that one function is a
show-stopper when weighed up with the rest of TB's functionality.
I originally migrated to TB over two years ago. I had searched long
and hard for a client which covered my needs. The main thing I was
hooked by in TB was the way it handled templates and the wealth of
macros available for them. I had to give up a few things that I had
gotten used to in other clients but I have found the sacrifice so
worthwhile.
