Guys (I mean, Bat developers), while you fix the whatever nitty-gitty things, did you noticed that a basic thing like replying to a HTML mails as plain text is a pile of s**t for, I don't know, since 3.0 at least? This thing can't even correctly reply to HTML mails that were written with Bat itself! Hello? (Actually, replying to HTML as HTML has easily noticable glitches as well.) And in the recent Bat release, I can't even reply as HTML automatically, because regardless of what do I set in the "Viewer/Editor" preferences, it always replyes as plain text (a new bug?).
So, write a HTML mail that has multiple paragraphs (<p>) with The Bat!, and then try to reply to it with The Bat! (latest version for example). In the current version it will convert the HTML to plain text (OK), but there is an empty line between each paragraphs. Now since you have this CSS in the HTML:
p,ul,ol /* Paragraph Style */
{
...
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
users use Enter to do manulal line-breaks, and will hit Enter twice to do something that looks like a real paragraph (I think this practice exists with other mailing agents as well). But it seems you don't take the CSS into account when you convert the HTML to plain text. Thus, about each 2nd-3rd HTML mail that you have to respond has tons of extra empty lines... like many users hit enter at the end of each lines, which is of course silly, but still look OK when the CSS (margins 0) is respected, but I will have to delete all 2nd lines (they are empty) or my repy will look silly. Also, even if the user doesn't have the bad habit of doing manual line-breaking, between visual paragraphs (i.e. where the user has hit two enters thus there are two <p>-s), there will 3 empty lines. You got what the problem is? How did you managed not noticing (or fixing) this?
Anyway... there are other glitches with replying in HTML format as well. Extra empty lines here and there, things like that... You don't know about them??? Are you using your own mail agent, do you? Why don't you care about basic features like quoting a mail? I think they contribute a lot to the inmpression of the users, who are expected to pay to you.
