When I saw this, I was hoping that [The Bat!](https://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/) had been released as FOSS. This is still pretty cool.

Same, I thought they may have gone through a rebrand or something..

I wonder how long ago it was I last used it - must’ve been sometime around 2010 or a few years earlier..

OMG the flashback... I remember using "The Bat!" and Rimart's "Becky! Internet Mail"

Exclamation marks seemed to be popular in names back in the day :D

Becky was so good for participating in mailing lists. I could slip by as a Unix user even though I was still mostly using Windows as my client OS.
Ha!

I have a Becky backup on a Iomega Zip disk I have to check one day :D

Same here...but this is cool stuff as well!
same. I believe I used to have some free version somewhere (bought on a CD with a magazine)
Came here to say exactly that. Loved it back in the day, great app.
