Wow! Thanks for the history! I'm trying the remember when I joined the EMailer-Talk list, it's been at least 4 years.. Maybe longer. I've been using Emailer since Guy Kawasaki visited our Mac User Group touting verison 1.0. Now I'm the president of that MUG, and the cycle continues. I probably joined Emailer-Talk when I was having an issue of some sort.
After I moved to OSX, I tried all the X email programs I could find. None were serious competition for Emailer, at least not for a heavy email user like myself. Already, I've got a COUNT of 51 members of Emailer-Talk who have voted! So far. :-) IF YOU HAVENT'T ALREADY PLEASE REPLY & BE COUNTED! (Especially you lurkers, who are quiet & don't post messages) ;-) (don't "reply all", just reply TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] !) > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (you can highlight, then "drag & drop" the email address into the Address area) We would like to get a count of how many people are on this Emailer-Talk list. Please send one email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blank is ok, but I'll read any messages. I'll total up how many responses we get and report back. I absolutely promise not to reveal your email address to anyone, and I will report back to the group the total number of Emailer-Talk members (hopefully everybody will respond). Please DO take just a sec to "reply" to this email & be counted. Thanks for your time.
