Hi again,
	Yes, I am happy with my situation, but using that logic, 
happy iTools users wouldn't need to ever upgrade again either - I 
don't have to upgrade, but Panther will offer some good new things & 
as always, so will iTools. For my purposes & quite a few other users 
who I am in contact with, Post.Office is simply overkill for our 
needs but we have more mailboxes than the free version handles.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
