Software Update: The Bat! 8.6

Ritlabs has released version 8.6 of its email program The Bat. The program supports several pop3 and imap4 accounts, and has a Bayesian spam filter and extensive search and filtering capabilities. There is also support for pgp, end-to-end encryption and the e-mails can be stored encrypted on the hard disk. Furthermore, there are no minimum system requirements.
