Declude is not a simple thing to implement and configure. Those of us running it are more than capable of adding a line to our config files and deciding how to weight it/configure it/otherwise implement it. We don't NEED a "click OK to install" GUI that does something to our configurations that we're going to have to go change anyway.

Declude has a solid following because of the way that Scott has treated
IMail users in the past with feature upgrades, release methods and great
support. If the new management is going to "restrict" or "force"
Scott's efforts then the result will be a loss of customers. We are a
rather finicky group!! And we know how to latch onto a good product or
dump a bad one.
I know that Scott is not in "complete" control any more, but I hope that
corporate bureaucracy is not introduced into an otherwise smooth running
product.

That depends on how you define "control" (no, I'm not a politician!).
In this case, the level of control isn't clearly defined. The
transition
of management can be tricky, and needs to be handled carefully. If the
new
owners wanted nearly 100% control, they could have it (I definitely
would
not support that decision, though, and on the other hand, I'm sure they
wouldn't try to do that). But it is important for the new owners to
have
as much control as possible, within reason.
Put another way, while the new owners do some things differently than I
would have (as is always the case with a transition in management), I
haven't seen them do anything that I would really disapprove of. If I
did,
though, I am sure that they would listen to me and give serious thought
to
what I said. They are well aware that I got the company where it is
now,
and that if I am telling them they made a serious mistake, they would
pay
attention.

:) Honestly, that's one of the best things that *I* like about Declude
too. That's why I'm still participating in the IMail Forum and the
Declude
mailing lists.

I definitely do have a lot of input about what is going to happen in the
future. :) The final decisions, of course, will be up to the new
management -- but they will definitely listen carefully to what I say.
