General features
For all of these clients, the concept of "HTML support" does not mean that they can process the full range of HTML that a web browser can handle. Almost all email readers limit HTML features, either for security reasons, or because of the nature of the interface. CSS and JavaScript can be especially problematic.
Messages features
Database, folders and customization
Templates, scripts and programming languages
Internationalization
The Bat! supports Email Address Internationalization (EAI).
