Why not just view the plain text version if you don't like the HTML version? The formatting junk at the beginning is annoying, but bearable. MB> The colors are garish--on my screen--and hurt my eyes.

That's not the fault of HTML -- it's the fault of the person who chose that formatting for the message. MB> I cannot change an html message on my machine for easier reading, MB> as I can a plain text message. True, although you can view the plain text version. It would be great if The Bat! had a user-defined style sheet that could override the embedded styles (like Opera). MB> I greet it with a groan of dread. And I am not smiling. Why? Your problem was with reading something somebody else sent. Don't you have the same problems with emails sent by Outlook Express users, or Eudora users, or users of most other email software? why is giving us the option to use HTML formatting so bad when most of the internet world already have that option? >>>> I am really happy about it. I am not one of those "purists". MB> One does not have to be a purist to have difficulty reading html MB> messages in an e-mail client. :) True. But that's the fault of the person writing the message, not the tool used to write it. And you must have the same difficulty even now, when The Bat! does not compose HTML messages, unless everyone who writes to you uses The Bat!. -- Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
