Sorry, was there a timeline posted that I missed?  The only
"prediction" I've heard Blueprint make is that they were going to post
a timeline of fixes and updates along with information about a newly
hired programmer.  On Feb 1 Jimmy wrote:

While I understand that it is not always possible to meet deadlines
made on a timeline projection, I am concerned that we've been waiting
so long for the timeline itself.  Perhaps, in order to simplify things,
you could just get us answers to a couple general questions.

1.  Is Blueprint expecting to release bug fixed versions of PMMail/2
*AND* PMMail 2000 in the next three months?

2.  Is Blueprint expecting to release significantly upgraded versions
of PMMail/2 *AND* PMMail 2000 this year?

If that information's available, then maybe you can wow us with a list
of bugs and features that will be addressed in the new releases.

Thanks,

Ralph
