Ritlabs heeft met versie 4.2.16 een nieuwe uitgave van zijn e-mailprogramma The Bat! beschikbaar gesteld. Het programma biedt ondersteuning voor meerdere pop3- en imap4-accounts en heeft een Bayesiaans spamfilter en uitgebreide zoek- en filtermogelijkheden. The Bat is verkrijgbaar in de smaken Home en Professional Edition, waarbij studenten en nonprofit-organisaties korting op de aanschafprijs krijgen. Thuisgebruikers moeten zoals gebruikelijk ook nog hun International Pack bijwerken. Het verschil tussen de Pro- en Home-edities wordt op deze pagina uit de doeken gedaan.
