The  Bat! is a great email client with every feature that an advanced
    user  needs, yet with an interface that even a novice will love. It's
    also  an  easy  and  inexpensive  corporate  mailing  network  server
    solution  (multi-user capabilities) that allows you to work without a
    local  mail  server.  The  Bat!  does  everything you expect of email
    client and much more ...
 
    Multiple accounts are a snap to set up, use and organize, and you can
    automatically  retrieve mail from your accounts and automatically log
    off. Support for IMAP4, POP, APOP, SMTP protocols.
 
    Full 32-bit multi-threading lets you check mail in all your accounts,
    while composing or reading messages at the same time.
 
    Support  for  fifteen different interface languages, with the ability
    to  switch  between  them  on the fly. Perfect for international use.
    Plus, extensive support for those who prefer to use the keyboard.
 
    Fast,  browser-independent HTML mail viewer and live Web links. Don't
    like HTML mail? Turn it off.
 
    Fast,  built-in  image viewer supporting GIF, PNG, BMP, ICO, WMF, EMF
    and JPEG formats. No need to wait until an external image viewer gets
    loaded.
 
    Create  templates  for new messages, replies, forwarded messages, and
    reading  confirmations  and customize them with easy-to-use 'macros'.
    Totally  configurable,  the  merge-style templates can be created for
    accounts,  folders, mail groups, and addresses entered in the address
    book.
 
    Create  as  many  identities  as  you  want, simply and quickly. Each
    folder  you  create  for  messages  can  have its own identity (name,
    address,  reply-to), complete with signatures and cookies, as well as
    its  own templates. The possibilities for quickly and easily managing
    your email are endless.
 
    Browse  to  the  Address  Book to pick addresses for your messages or
    choose  favorites  from  a  dropdown menu. Organize your addresses by
    groups;  add personal and business information, vCards, and even your
    favorite  photos;  search  LDAP directories directly from the Address
    Book.
 
    Format  your  messages  with  the Message Editor's special Formatting
    Options  and be sure that recipients will see your messages formatted
    as you intended.
 
    Spell-check  automatically.  As  you type, questionable spellings are
    underlined; a right-click gives you a choice of correct spellings.
 
    Save  hours  of  typing and numerous keystrokes with Quick Templates.
    Insert  text  blocks  -  even from files on disk - add custom message
    information, attach files and vCards, and more - all with a couple of
    keystrokes and without using menu commands.
 
    Thread  messages  by  reference,  subject,  sender,  or  recipient  -
    especially useful for discussion mailing lists. Sort messages quickly
    by  clicking  on  any column heading in the Message List view, or use
    quick  filtering  to  select  a  group of messages for viewing with a
    simple alt-click.
 
    Search  messages in a folder, an account, or all accounts for sender,
    address,  subject,  keywords,  status,  dates  of  messages,  or  any
    combination.  Read  and  reply  to  found  messages directly from the
    search  display.  Or,  use Quick Search to quickly find messages in a
    folder.
 
    Use  Regular Expressions, compatible with those used in the Unix grep
    utility  and Perl, when searching text in the Message Viewer, Message
    Editor,  Message  Finder,  Sorting  Office  filters,  and  Submission
    Forms.
 
    The  Sorting  Office,  a  powerful  filtering  system, not only sorts
    incoming,  outgoing,  read, and replied messages to folders, but also
    can  auto-respond;  reply  with a custom template; forward, redirect,
    print,  or  export  messages;  send  reading  confirmations;  run  an
    external program and more.
 
    The Mail Ticker - unique to The Bat! - looks like a Wall Street stock
    ticker,  but  displays the header information from your new messages.
    See  instantly  who  sent  a  message and the subject; a single click
    displays the full message.
 
    The  Mail  Dispatcher  allows  you  to manage your mail directly on a
    remote  POP3  server.  Leave  messages on a server to be retrieved at
    another location to simplify mail management.
 
    Internal  (no  DLLs  needed)  fast  PGP  implementation  based on the
    award-winning  OpenSSL  lets  you  encrypt message and sign them with
    digital signatures. Also available as a free stand-alone Digital Keys
    Library.  Handy  manager for digital keys. Free plugins for PGP v5.5,
    v6.0.2 & 6.5.
 
    Submission Forms - a tool for creating queries that are automatically
    processed   by  servers  -  are  a  great  solution  for  a  business
    client-server environment.
 
    Import  your messages with the built-in Import Wizard from: Microsoft
    Outlook  Express  v4.xx,  Netscape  Communicator v4.xx, Netscape Mail
    v2.xx/3.xx, Eudora Lite/Pro, Pegasus Mail v2.xx, and UNIX mailboxes.
 
    Import  address  books  from  any email client that can export to an:
    .INI, comma-separated File, or tab-separated file.
 
    Powerful  Filtering and Macro support allows you to use The Bat! as a
    Mailing  List  Server.  Run  and manage mailing lists or full-fledged
    discussion  lists  like MajorDomo and Listserv. All you have to do is
    check the POP3 account, and The Bat! will filter, modify, and correct
    the  To,  From,  and Reply To headers, then will send messages out to
    everyone on the list.
