I believe you are referring to my following reply to Alexander Sarras in
which I wrote:

I have never assigned blame to either Southsoft
nor BSW.  It was *never* my intention to slight either party.  As Ralph
has pointed out, I merely expressed my disappointment at the discrepancy
between the list's as well as my personal expectations of v2.10 and the
actual release itself.  I was more than aware that I could be alone and
way off in my opinion, which was why I asked if "we are all agreed"...  

Having said that, I remain a well-satisfied user of PMMail and am
convinced of its superiority among the mail clients of the day.  I am also
grateful to Southsoft for writing such a useable program and for BSW for
giving it a new lease of life.  That doesn't mean I can't voice my
opinions though, even if they were disappointed ones.
