The Bat!
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Bat!
The Bat! is an e-mail client for the Microsoft Windows operating system. It supports folders, filtering, viewing HTML e-mail without the need to have Internet Explorer installed, and international character sets. It also has a special feature named Mail Ticker, and can import messages from Microsoft Office Outlook and Outlook Express. Version 2.0 introduced full IMAP support, a basic HTML editor, Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus Plug-ins and a Scheduler.
In the marketplace it competes with Eudora, Pegasus Mail and several browser-integrated e-mail clients as a less virus-prone replacement for Microsoft Outlook Express. It is well respected within the computer industry, and has won a number of awards. Some say its user interface is not very intuitive, but this may be overcome by the high level of available customization. It has extremely powerful message filtering capabilities. It also supports templates and in fact allows three different levels of template creation. This along with macros allows for extensive automation of almost every aspect of mailing.
The Bat! is developed by RitLabs (Stefan Tanurkov), a company based in Chişinău, Moldova.
Many spam messages have the X-Mailer field set to The Bat!, but this because it is one of the default settings in the Advanced Mass Sender program, which is frequently used for sending spam mail.
The Bat! is distributed as shareware.
