Editing in HTML and sending Emails in HTML is expected in this century. Yes Text messages have their place too, however, do not stamp your feet and send a plain message to friend or potential client. Many people like html mail This why the smartest setting on Email is both html and text outbound and if you never want to see HTML just set your receive mode to accept only the text part of an html email or bounce the message, however, do not deprive other users from HTML mail which still has its place. A client of mine is just the oposite. Hates text plain messages. Loves HTML which is why she does not care for the BAT. Also it makes a product look hoky when graphics com up as square [X] instead of what it should have. I do agree Javascript should be a security feature enabled or disabled by the user. I completely disagree about the let the browser do the work. People like convenience. i use Opera at times and find it to open fast so this is less of an issue for me now, but would not it be nice to down arrow each message seeing a preview displayed without the [X} graphics and render the actual page with or without script or applet/active X or flash enable??
Take a look at HotMetal which embeds explorer code. I think something like that can be done and give you the control while using a dll interface from the browser vendor to more quickly render the web page clearly and securely. Again these features should be configurable I think News groups are an important part of an Email client as well. TB needs to match the Eudora capbilities while leaving out the security flaws and inefficiencies, but provide the capability to display messages and edit messages in HTML. Again I think a simple switch when installing should nicely take care of the Mr. Text onlys who hate HTML email. News groups are important and so is the ability to edit HTML and receive and display it. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
