I guess you mean how many PM users on this list, since this thread
involves the beta version, or using v5.x? 

I would have thought that out in the 'real world' most PM users would be
using 10.2.8 or earlier - Panther has only been out for about a year.

Yeah...I know the feeling. Before I settled on PM at the end of last year
I spent ages trying out various email clients at varying stages of
development and it was nice to finally find one that was well-tested and
just worked. I'm reluctant to upgrade just yet...it's that "if it ain't
broke.." feeling. Plus, if this laptop breaks down, my other machine is
still running OS 9.2.2 so PM v5.x is out for now.
