Absolutely-- but SIMS has a definite role in corporate networks, as well as
ISPs; I'm just speaking up for the cubicle dwellers....

Actually, it's just the opposite; I'm going to great lengths to avoid
archiving email. In the event that somebody subpoenas our email records, if
I have years' worth of archives I have to search years' worth of archives
(taking many hours and costing thousands of dollars in lost productivity);
if I have no records I can just say so and get on with my life.

That's not an argument I buy into-- if nothing else, there is no guarantee
that the company will still be in business when I need them. More to the
point, everybody has disclaimers of liability written into their shrinkwrap
licenses.

Options are always a good thing. Why would you stop upgrading SIMS because
it has more features?
