MR/2 ICE Price Increase Scheduled for January 15.

On January 15, 1997, the fee for registering MR/2 ICE, OS/2's fastest moving Internet Email Client, will be increased to $30. In addition, some of the registration policies will be revised.

MR/2 ICE remains the OS/2 email client price/performance leader, and continues on an aggressive enhancement schedule. If you haven't compared its feature list to that of your current email client in a while, perhaps you should. Recent additions include powerful features like "PreFetch Filters", that let you automatically specify whether to fetch, delete or hold-for-later messages on the POP3 server based on message size and/or header information.

Additional information about this product is available via web browser on the MR/2 ICE home page.

Site licensing prices will be adjusted as follows ($US):

For each user above 50 add $3 (e.g., 200 user = $500+(150*3) = $950)

-Policy Changes-

Existing registered users are not affected by these changes.

As the feature set of the product has grown substantially, and the revision levels have been ticked off at hundredths intervals, and as the newsreader has actually started to take form (still at unreleasable alpha levels) a slight modification to policy is in order.

The new policy allows more flexibity in requesting nominal charges for upgrades as work progresses. Under the new policy, the right is reserved to ask for an additional upgrade fee whenever a significant set of features is added. These would more than likely be at whole number version releases.

All registrations received AFTER January 15, 1997 will be subject to the price increase ($30US), and will be covered by the new policy.

Another price adjustment will be considered as the newsreader portion nears release. No projected release date is available.
