Kim, Roger has made a good point.  While I appreciate your additional
features, I think the Msged community would benefit far more by having
those features - your code - merged into the official Msged distribution
code.  I really think the last thing we need are rebadged, slightly
modified public domain versions competing with the existing official
distribution.

Furthermore, if you wish to continue releasing unofficial rebadged versions
of Msged, I don't believe it is fair for you to use the MSGED_ECHO to
provide support for them.  If it's not Msged, it's not Msged.
