BSw

[Jason Gibbs]

Instead of constantly moaning about BSW, maybe if we encouraged
companies we know to buy
copies of PMMail over Outlook, BSW would make some decent money and
could justify hiring more developers?

Maybe BSW could offer some kind of affilate/partner program so that
people who recommend it can get some kind of commission?
