The later versions don't bear any resemblance at all (well superficially
anyway - it's a completly new DHTML interface they have although the
modules they use are exactly the same as the ones used in Acmemail v.1)
but the early versions were identical. Even down to Leon's dodgy, non
transparent GIFs for icons.
Have no problem with them making money out of it it was just that it was
ripped off and not released under the GPL and/or the changes sent back
to us.
