Does 'incredimail' fit the current description and acceptable definition
of Freeware, or is it too ad-driven?
Is it worth having?

Oh please don't.
My slogan is I hate Incredimail. I am on dialup and incredimail makes
for big bloated emails which does nothing to impress me on the receiving
end. Then if you should want to forward on an email received from an
incredimail user, you ought to try removing previous email addresses or
blank lines or tidying it up in any manner, it takes ages.
I also hate the way the text starts right at the top so that the top of
the letters are just about touching the top of the text area - so ugly
but not important I guess. It probably doesn't help my attitude that the
people who send me email via incredibloat also use all caps for everything.
Example:
I got this from an incredimail user (names and addresses x'ed out) for a
total of 29kb. The same message sent with Outlook Express gives an email
size of 3kb
