Dear Forum visitors,
I use The Bat! since the early versions of 1.x by now.
I always liked it for its complex features and security.
The only draw back was the lack of a HTML modus.
This feature has been added some versions ago.
Since I´m not a friend of colorful or complex mails (I´d rather send attachments like pdf files) I never used this feature.
Last week I triped over the option of switching the message format mode and chose HTML.
I wanted to create a mail with tables and images so that I can put text to the images directly into the mail.
Since I never used this feature I wrote to testmail to myself first.
But what I saw after carefully creating my mail by resizing pictures adding tables and make colorful text was a mess.
All pictures added showed up at the end of the mail leaving all tables empty. They also lost the resizing i made.
I wanted to modify my mail and reopened the sent one in edit mode - but what was that - the whole layout was also gone. pictures not placed in the mail anymore but added as attachments and not viewable as pictures in the mail but filenames instead.
I rememeber that mails created in outlook sometimes had slight changes "like the font" when received by the recipient. but what the bat is doing here has nothing to do with the mail that was created.
I hate to say this but instead of adding a chat feature to an email client which might only be used by the developers there should have been much more effort to finetune features like this html mode which is a good working standard feature in almost every other email client.
any comments or suggestions on this toppic? maybe I did something wrong anyway,...
Best regards
