It looks pretty clear there is no future for Smartlist, which is a shame.
Steven put togther a very nice package for its time but the world has changed
around it and Smartlist desperately needs to be brought up to date. Don't get
me wrong, I still like working with it (I even selected my webhost *because*
they give me procmail and smartlist) but, out-of-the-box, it is missing much
needed functionality (and even with add-ons it still needs lots of
hand-holding).
