Acton, MA (September 26, 2003) - TeleMessage, today announced its Mail Client Plug-In has been selected as a finalist in the Mobility category for the The 8th Annual MIMC Awards. Held annually by the Massachusetts Interactive Media Council, the MIMC Awards recognize excellence in the creation of interactive technologies designed, produced or developed in New England. The MIMC Awards has been cited as one of the most prestigious awards competitions for New England's interactive industry and the largest technology awards showcase in the country.
"This year's MIMC Award submissions attracted some of the most impressive interactive projects and technology applications in the industry today," said Leslie Cushing, Executive Director of MIMC. "We are delighted to showcase the innovative work that is being produced in the region."
The Mail Client Plug-In product allows users to send, receive and forward messages to any communication device, all from their standard email interface.

The easy-to-use solution makes sure that the receiver of the message gets the message no matter what, even if they don't check their e-mail or doesn't have e-mail at all. "We are pleased to be recognized as an innovator of technology by the Massachusetts Interactive Media Council. It is an honor to be showcased as one of New England's best technology companies," said Mark Carlin, VP of Business Development at TeleMessage.
