As reported here, SpamPal at least works on "WINDOWS 7 ( 64 bit)". It also works on Windows XP x86.

It's 04-2024 and I installed SpamPal 1.595 (spampal-1.595.zip) today in my old Windows XP virtual machine, where I still use Thunderbird 2.x (!) for receiving mails via POP3. After updating the list of DNSBL providers SpamPal works fine for me.

It's a bug, when EDIT.EXE from FreeDOS should behave the same as EDIT.EXE from MS-DOS. Exactly.

Every modern editor, including the old MS-DOS EDIT.EXE can move into the third line because they use some sort of virtual third line, even if there is no real third line. And's that my bug report is about, besides the other issue. You're right. It is a compatibility bug, because it differs from the behavior of MS-DOS EDIT. "I can add new characters or CR here in FreeDOS Edit 0.9a from FreeDOS 1.3." No, you can't. You will overwrite the 2 or you will put a char between the 2 and the the 't'. You're...

You can't mark the last line with the cursor as described above and this is a bug. Yes, you can't mark it that way, but it never was the intention of FED to support such behavior. -> Not a bug.

The cursor does not move to the third line, because there is no third line in your test text file. "You can't add a new character after the 2 without overwriting the 2." -> I can add new characters or CR here in FreeDOS Edit 0.9a from FreeDOS 1.3.

FED just behaves different from what you expect. So it's by design, but no bug. You issue is a feature request then.
