Benny,

Do you plan to release a detailed ‘Beyond the Basics’ reference document (web 
pages) on all the extended features of MailMate including:
* Uses of CLI
* Filtering Rules
* Plug-ins
* Other “Hidden” feature details

Do you see that as a new tier in the subscription model? Not trying to increase 
the costs interested to see what the documentation is worth to users. I value 
complete and full info especially in a subscription model. And for you adding 
the documentation burden.

So far as I see the Patron mode cannot be renewed, rather it is called 
something different, “Paid Mode.” For myself, I have no problem moving forward 
in this way and it seems a bit more structured as such.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
