OK, my friend, here is the story:
Back in January, I bought TheBat (best $40 I ever spent!!) and was
very happy with the program and still am.
Then I got a message from them that there was a new beta version out
(something like 1.53bis, I think) and I installed it. But I
discovered that when I tried to scroll through my messages it got
"stuck" on some of them and would not display. I would click on the
message on the upper part of the screen and on the lower part, it
displayed a former message. It happened on just some messages but not
all. The strange thing is that it happened on different messages
from the same person. Some would open and some would not.
I contacted support and Stefan suggested I install another version
that was coming out and he sent to me as an attachment. I installed
that version and it seemed to work OK but then I discovered that I
could not print anything out (just like on 1.49). When I reported
this, Alexander suggested I install the new 1.53d version that was
out. But when I did this I discovered that once again I could not
scroll through or open certain messages again.
Oh yes, during this interchange I sent the messages that would not
open to Stefan who, of course, told me that he could open them with no
problem. And then he suggested that I just change the exe files in my
folder to switch versions which I also did. But nothing seemed to fix
the problem.
So in the end, I backed up all the mail files, uninstalled the 1.49
version again and am now using that but am unable to print out
anything without saving the files to another program.
So the end of the story is that I have to choose between two bugs: one
does not allow me to print out messages and the other does not allow
me to view them. And nobody seems to be able to discover why.
Oh yes, my computer: AMB 750, 128 ram, 21g HD running W98.
And the truth of the matter is that I do not remember now if I could
print out with the first version or not but I think I could. But now I
can't.
So I guess what I really need is a patch for the 1.49 version that
fixes the print bug but I don't want to install the new version
because I know what is going to happen.
Best regards
Un saludo de Richard
