The author of Pocomail (probably the best client besides the Bat) runs a support forum for his program, and it sees dozens of posts daily. He has a handful of administrators to assist him in keeping it going, and he's said it was the smartest thing he ever did to help in marketing his product. He also runs a mailing list but it doesn't see much traffic, at least not in comparison to TB's mailing lists. Many of the people who post there literally blunder in blind through a web search, or a copy of an email they get that has a link to Pocomail Forums in it. There are many, many posts from people who have never used anything for mail besides Outlook, and they're looking for a gentle introduction to an alternative to it. -- Regards, Don Zeigler * bringing you boring sigfiles for over 14 years * ...New vitamin from chickens blood, it makes men cocky and women lay better. www.donzeigler.com | This message brought to you by The Bat v1.61 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
