Not that I know of. AFAIK there is a freware version of 1.60 too.

You are missing out on the auto-add feature. You can download it at
www.fmail.nl.eu.org

I have difficulty believing that. The author was still aorund and active
when 1.60 came out. I am sure it would have been noticed by someone and
fixed by the author.
