// The following code was send to me by Michael Hawley (c)
// Carefully modified by Sven Lehmann to fit at Zoom.app

/*
 * Implement the "suggestion" box, to catch user's comments,
 * and also a simple tracking mechanism, to send a blip of
 * mail from the first-time user.  This is akin to releasing
 * helium balloons with postcards that say "If you find me,
 * send this card back to . . ." -- it should be interesting
 * to the community to track the free flow of software on
 * the ethernet.
 *
 * If you have any concerns about this, please check with me.
