V3 problems, Issues after upgrading from v2 to v3
 
Recently I upgraded 2 installations of TheBat in company I'm working for. On one computer there were no problems, on the other:
1. Account setting got completely messed up. After upgrade name, e-mail address and templates turned out to be some very old values.
2. The addressbook was "lost". Adding the tbd file solved the problem, but it should work out of the box.
3. I got reports from this user that when she sends ms word files as attachments sometimes they arrive correctly but sometimes they don't and "weird characters" show up in the message (in Thunderbird). I don't yet know what the problem exactly is (it was just a telephone call) but it seems to be something wrong with either mimetypes or inline attachments. Do you have any ideas what could have gone wrong? Did it happen to you? Thanks in advance for any replies,
 
Here is a snippet from message with MS Word attachment sent using TheBat:

The above snippet is supposed to be mime part boundary, something is IMO seriously wrong here. Shouldn't it look like this:

accepts no liability for viruses introduced by this e-mail or attachments.
You should employ virus checking software.

It seems that too much encoding happened here.
