Be that as it may, I think a friendlier approach would be much better. Also, from a software development standpoint features != bloat, and simplicity != quality. Instead, bad design == bloat, and good design = quality. I am new here so I don't know the ilohamail culture too well. But, I would have assumed that "IlohaMail Culture" != "Microsoft Culture".
