Fwiw, as someone who bought a licence and has subsequently been a $10 patron for some time, I do not feel the desire or need for a reward. My licence and patron payments were to support the excellent product I’ve been using for the last several years, and I had no expectation that they would entitle me to anything in the future. I would like you to be fairly compensated for your continuing excellent work, so would prefer to pay the normal price you’ve set with the new pricing model. In other words, I don’t feel like I’m ‘owed’ anything simply because I chose to be a patron before the subscription model was introduced. I did it because MailMate is immensely valuable to me and I wanted to support it. I hope you manage to have some time off Benny! -- => Jolin _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list Unsubscribe: https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
