Download The Bat! 9.5

Version 9.5 of the more than twenty-year-old email client The Bat! it came out. The new director of the Moldovan company Ritlabs, Stefan Tanurkov, is fully committed to modernizing his program. For example, Chromium’s HTML rendering engine has replaced the outdated internal engine and that of Internet Explorer and there is now also a dark mode. The program has also undergone several changes in the interface and really looks much fresher than before. In version 9.5, the following changes and improvements have been made:

• /SMTPHOST= command line parameter to specify domain passed in the SMTP greeting (EHLO/HELO). This command line parameter can be added as a line into an account’s memo for account-specific use

Improvements

• The format (plain text or HTML) used last time for a new Quick Template is now remembered
• %SetEditor template macro accepts parameters “plain”, “text” and “HTML” for setting desirable message format
• More straight-forward logic of HTML templates usage for replies and new messages

Fixes

• Some attachments could be hidden from the attachment list as HTML-related parts
• Automatic switching to the HTML format was not available in the template editor
• (#02090) Re-filtering log was “white on white” in dark themes
