Hmm, I didn't know there was a wish list :) Good to know...

Exchange is currently running SP3 with a post-SP3 rollup patch of some sort.
I under the impression that I had already updated as new as it could get...

Any idea what this later release might be?
Possibly the person who made the initial wish-list request might know?

Thanks very much,
