+It does. We actually just rolled it out, and people have begun using it.
+We're still working out a few kinks that are probably related to our
+environment, such as the spellchecker and imp not communicating properly
+(ispell works fine, and is the latest version; not sure what's up here).
+
+Overall, we've had a lot of positive comments. The biggest complaints have
+been related to its speed. There have also been a significant number of
+requests for Eudora addressbook import options, which right now has no
+straightforward solution (they have to be imported to outlook, then
+imported from there to Imp).
+
+The speed issue isn't too surprising. We have it running on four Compaq
+tru64 boxes, which are also used for imap, pop, and shell logins for
+thousands of users. If you'd like to know more about our environment, let
+me know.
+
+I'd imagine you would like to be able to mention this on your website,
+which I admit would be pretty cool. Unfortunately, I'm not PR-authorized,
+and cannot give you permission to mention this on your website, but I am
+working closely with somebody who does have this authority, and while we
+haven't discussed it specifically, I think we're on the same level in that
+we are waiting until the major problems have been addressed. If he's not
+thinking the same thoughts, I will mention to him that he should let you
+guys make a plug for us on your site, once it's clear that we're sticking
+with Imp (which right now is pretty certain, but not 100% certain).

+
+That's good to know, thanks!
