Hello?  Does anyone still use this mailing list?  I've not seen any new messages (except my own) since June 19, 2025 (it is now July 23, 2025).

If so, I keep getting "Aw, Snap!" errors, generally reporting the error code STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION and now it is appearing when I try to view email messages that were SENT by me, using TheBat! -- so it gets an error trying to display its own messages!

This is intolerable.

Also, the option to use the plaintext viewer has no effect at all, as I stated in my initial message for this thread.

SPV> But, in either state, all of the messages I sampled still showed all of the fonts, colors and formatting that I associate with fully formatted HTML email.  By that I mean that the messages had MULTIPLE fonts, MULTIPLE colors, MULTIPLE styles, and formatting like lists and indents, etc.  None of which I expect once the formatting is stripped out.

SPV> So, I ask again... is "Use Plain Text Viewer" implemented as anything other than a menu selection that shows whether you selected it or not but nothing else?  If so, is there some configuration option that somehow overrides it?  If there is, that seems like a mistake, since the plain text viewer should ALWAYS be a plain text viewer, for security and stability if no other reason.

SPV> Help?
