I don't know of any, but I know that there is lot of interest in more
"flexible" MAILFORMs. Not specifically conditions and multiple pages,
but simply more layouting flexibility in forms for non-techies.

While your efforts seem to be directed to "experts", as I can't see how
a non-techie will be able to design such a form, I also would find it
nice to have more flexibility in the MAILFORM Wizard, which should allow
more options to layout the forms. But I have no idea how it could be
done and what should be possible, yet.

This one is a really nice thing, which I would like to see in the
"standard" MAILFORM!

Sorry for not going over all your points, I'll do that when I have more
time. I hope others will also jump in the discussion.

Cheers,
