Personally I would think it a good strategy on Ritlabs part to continue high end functionality with options to make TB more attractive to larger market. This way the long term viability of the product is more assured. As a user I like that as long as certain features are optional such as HTML, & news reader. Now I've read quite a lot of posts on HTML mail. I can totally understand the headache created when receiving HTML mail. So how about an option to strip HTML from email on receipt to receive only text email? If products exist out there already, why not incorporate that functionality into an email client? Other things I think would be a Kill a sub-thread. How many times have I received email on this list that goes off on a tangent that I'm not interested? Quite a few times. I don't think this functionality should only apply to a news reader. How about manual re-threading. How many times have I received an email where the sender was actually starting a new topic in a reply message? Quite a few times. I don't think this functionality should only apply to a news reader. Just my 2 cents worth. -- Best regards, Greg Strong TB! v1.63 Beta/4 on Windows XP Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
