Ennhh, I dunno. Sometimes imail kinda reminds me of the early build of everquest, its like a house of cards if the wind blows the wrong way.. Woosh falls to the ground, but normally its very sturdy unless you apply pressure =)
I use Imail, I love imail, but sometimes..., sometimes.. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: Ives Stoddard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 2:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Let's be constructive, not whine... Just a thought... Wouldn't it be nice if Ipswitch enrolled their product versions into sourceforge? Everyone could submit bugs and see where things are actually at in terms of being resolved. Are there any user group boards that do something similar? i.e. bug tracking for the vendor's benefit, whether they're involved in the process or not? -ives ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman J.
