Mercury, its companion product Pegasus Mail, and all their documentation and help have
been written and maintained by David Harris since 1989, and I am proud to be able to say
that my work is a product of New Zealand.

But products this large are much more than just the work of the person who writes the code
– a great many people have invested a vast amount of time and effort in testing, arguing, sup-
porting, pushing, prodding, encouraging and generally giving the programs the life that
makes them what they are. There’s no way I could name everyone who has contributed to
Mercury and Pegasus Mail, but here at least is a woefully incomplete partial list – my thanks
to you all, my friends.
