The Bat: Fix all the wrapping issues...now!
Innuendo:
Nah, it's not that serious. The Bat is still by far the best email program. I'll deal with it. but I do feel the whole Bat community is kind of out of touch...quirky at the very least. I suppose it's typical of programs that offer a lot of power and customizations.-superboyac (August 25, 2009, 05:41 PM)

I found the same quirkiness with the ReGet Deluxe community with their usenet support forum. It must be an Eastern Europe phenomena.

Don't know if it helps yet, because I've only just spotted it. My emphasis.
The Bat! 5.2
08/23/2012 New features
New filter action – "Clear all tags"
Added profiles for re-filtering a folder
Filter action to add/delete addresses to/from address book can now extract target addresses from message body with template
It is now possible to quick-search folders in the folder selection dialogue

Option to wrap text in "Plain text (Windows)" editor
Improvements
"Paste as plain text" option added to popup in the Edit Mail Message Form
System folders (Inbox, Outbox, Trash, etc.) can have their own settings for templates, deletion etc.

Empty lines are now correctly displayed in POP.log and SMTP.log
Double clicking on a list column separator expands column to fit its contents
When an account is created by selecting folder in MAIL folder, the account name and home directory are automatically filled

^^That's weird. You already could wrap text in the windows editor. What are they adding?
The issue is wrapping text in the microed editor. Maybe they'll address it in the next 10 years if we're lucky.
Then, you say, why not just use the windows editor? Well, because the other nifty formatting features don't work well. For example, if i paste quoted text (has a ">" symbol at the beginning of the line) in Microed, the lines automatically turn purple (or whatever the color for quotes is). That is very cool. But if you do the same in the Windows editor, it doesn't automatically get colored. The live styling changes only work well in microed. In the windows editor, it only works in the beginning when you open the window, after that if you edit or change stuff, the auto-formatting doesn't work.
So it's a dilemma. Do I want the coloring in Microed? Or do I want no-headache wrapping? Since the wrapping is a bigger headache, I usually use Windows editor. but I get annoyed when the colors don't work.

I empathize with you.
I stopped using TheBat! for the same reasons you mentioned, even though I am a licensed user.
I purchased Softmaker Office Pro and part of the suite is the "eM Client" which I have switched to using exclusively for email.
No email client is perfect, however I didn't want to deal with the frustration any longer. It was time to cut bait and run.
Just my opinion, I know many others mileage may vary...

Lately it's been infuriatingly slow at picking up my e-mail, though I updated at the same time as installing a new router (don't think that should affect things). I need to face up to checking my ISP's Web site in case it's their fault, but a brief trial of Opera's built-in e-mail client seemed to give much faster mail retrieval.

Er, does that mean that some things about eM Client are already irritating? And it's just a case of which program irritates less? I have Softmaker Office Home, without eM Client, and I've heard Thunderbird development may have ceased, so I'm interested in alternatives.
