Just for the record:
We have cc:Mail in our organization of 600, which has some tough budget
problems. If the mail system "works", why spend $$$$ to replace it?
Especially when you consider it's not just purchase price, but conversion,
installation, and training issues...  Tough call- does the company bend to
the will of the (usually a minority) workers, or does LSOFT adjust to suit
its customers (listowners and members)?
