Only a couple of moths ago I sent a message about how Pegasus Mail was the program I use by choice, mainly because I'm used to it from a previous connection, but now convinced more than ever that the safety angle makes it preferable. Also there is an IMAP conversion available in the latest version - see the "tucows" site.

By the way, David Harris is a New Zealander, not an Australian, invented Pegasus Mail while on the staff at Otago University, which happens to be (as Americans say) my alma mater!

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
