Eats spam, trashes junk e-mail and even answers your letters! Re:PLY -- the most powerful e-mail application available.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 1997--"With the mass of junk mail regularly appearing in most e-mailboxes, the ability to eliminate it with Re:PLY is a welcome relief," said Marc Kanter, Solid Oak Software Inc.

Solid Oak Software, the publishers of CYBERsitter, one of the most popular Internet filters, announced the public release of Re:PLY, the first e-mail application for Windows 95/NT to offer advanced e-mail processing features usually available only to those with access to expensive dedicated mail servers.

Now you have an action against unsolicited and unwanted e-mail. Re:PLY will let you automatically maintain a list of unwanted "junk e-mail" senders. Also, a master list of known spammers is maintained by Solid Oak and updatable by the user.

From then on, any mail received from those sources will be automatically returned to the sender with an optional e-mail message that you can define yourself. Plus the incoming message is deleted so that you will never be bothered again!

Internet users often wonder how they sometimes receive such a quick response when they send an e-mail to a large company. These messages are automatically generated with the use of expensive software and powerful computers.

Now, with one of Re:PLY's most unique features, you have the ability to generate automatic responses to incoming e-mail according to a criteria you define. Simply enter a simple set of rules, and all requests for product information (for example) will be automatically responded to whenever you check your mail.

Do you get tired of typing the same response over and over again to the same question or request for information? Re:PLY maintains a library of responses or letters that you frequently use and are automatically "plugged-in" at your request.

Re:PLY also includes features to maintain mailing lists, remotely access files, have multiple e-mail accounts, automated list server functions and, of course, Re:PLY has all the standard features such as message forwarding, re-direction, spell checking, multiple mail boxes, MIME and UUE attachments and much more.

Re:PLY is available directly from Solid Oak Software's Web site at www.solidoak.com for $69.95 until June 1 and then $99.95. A full working beta version is available for download from the Web site.
