A good question! BSW has to decide soon whether or not they want to do business with business and of all the 
things that are talked about as feature requests/bugs/ wishlist items here by endusers with one copy of PMmail 
(or maybe one per platform) the address book deficiencies are the big show stopper for business.

I'm not saying BSW should not listen to and respond to loyal individuals who are on this list but this is not 
where serious new business will originate.

A new address book format will not break the news program if there is a utility to generate a news address 
book from others however my business users are refusing to buy any more licences until BSW provides a business 
solution. I have had to massage the present format by hand merging databases etc and I can't charge much if 
anything for it because I recommended the PM product and in some cases supplied it.

No matter what other features they will lose by moving from PMMail these users are close to migrating to 
something like Eudora at the low end and to Visualizer and Notes as you go up the scale. The latter 2 add some 
other function for the extra money of course.

I wonder how many business customers (other than one-man-bands) PMMail has? Maybe it is just too hard and BSW 
is prepared to stick with the one-off sales. I just wish they would say whether or not they care about 
business customers................
