Well thanks you've just saved me some money, like a fool I thought 
that the problems I have had with OASIS2 were because it was 
unregistered, eg. bombing out after getting 5 emails. I want MIME 
support etc, but only if it works or at least supported. Also when 
is the promised SPIDER coming ??? Still I do not think we need OASIS2
now with clients being developed for STiK, and as I have just ordered
CAB2.0 who needs SPIDER anyway !!

As I said a long while ago they have bitten off more than they can 
chew. Prove me wrong as well !!
