How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Positive Praise

Both reviewers say it just works, one calling it the simplest way they've found to add a footer to outgoing mail, with links and line breaks handled automatically.

    I’m using this plugin as simple solution for adding a footer to all mails after having struggled with many other ways to add one. Adds line breaks and links automatically. Thanks for this great plugin!

    On the one hand, reviewing your own plugins is silly. On the other, with no reviews, people see a default 0-star rating, and can assume the things is broken. Hence this “review”. I’ve been using it for a few years on different sites; works for me.
