Copy of Letter to Southsoft

[Agents]

Ralph,

I don't see the issue I brought up about multithreading on the list -- perhaps you can add it and send to Jimmy.  I do, however, 
see you mentioning a desire to see PMMail/2 run faster which is always nice but not always feasible, multithreading is a 
different issue and would solve other problems.

Thanks.

Hakan
