The Xs give me a fuzzy feeling too but doesn't necessarily mean X out everything... I should be able to allow viewing HTML in its entirety or be able to choose who can send me HTML formatted mail at least... To me everyone, their mother and pet gold fish can argue all they want but I would love to see more HTML support in the near future. A built in RTF editor so I can at least bold some headings and make italic others I feel need to be emphasized. Everyone might argue that e-mail is supposed to do this and not do that is like saying a car with no heater in the dead of winter on a 24hr trip is not really necessary because the cars only purpose is to get you from a to z (and it is!). But you would probably drop dead of the freeze *if* such a convenience didn't exist... I don't hear much argument about that... Another thing is why when someone says wheres the news reader the bat isn't or shouldn't be a news reader? I suare from the bottom of my heart I hate with a passion dictatorship... If the people want it and theres enough motion why argue? I would love to see news group support with the bat... It can completely remove Mozilla from my system if it did it could probably completely remove outlook from others... I bet my life if an RTF editor was introduced to The Bat! you might say I'll never use it (yeah, right) but you will. You have too... plain text is robotic and you'll use the bold and italic command sooner or later... Its almost guaranteed... I can almost bet my life if a news group reader was introduced you would use it too. Come'on think about that one, argue if you wish too... You're going to turn off the heat on purpose because you know its a convenience and that its not really necessary? I love The Bat! and theres no argument about its current status and my point to this whole thread and *every* community member is if you see something *you don't* like, no matter how much you don't like it leave it be... Polls and surveys work with disagreement but you're trying to persuade an inevitable argument... I can almost bet my life that if HTML, RTF and a news group reader was introduced this bat list would be flooded with new members and the RitLabs team would have more money to develop The Bat! further and faster than before which should be a good thing right? Most people expect HTML and to compose in RTF and a lot of people would really enjoy a news reader... I say the old saying goes well... Carry a gun and not need it, than need it and not have it... I currently support 100% the idea of more enabled HTML, RTF, and news reading capabilities and word is its coming whether you like it or not... My question is once its here will you stop upgrading? - -- Best regards, Victor B.
