Hi all,
I suggest we can also have a daily, weekly or monthly digest that
aggregates all the emails together. People can choose whether they want
email immediately or clubbed together for a day, week or month.
Ron, you may use another email if you don't want your 'email address
put out to everyone in the world'.
Regards,
Paul

Rebranding needs to start by realizing that Microsoft Office and

will lose them millions of people.
Open Office needs to be ready and welcoming.
