Press Release Body = Wellington, NZ - 3 September 2007 - Xequte today announced the
immediate release of Cruise Control, Rapid Email Responding Software.

Today\'s email products have changed little over the last decade, despite the
significant increase in email usage. For a staff member of a \"Virtual\" Internet
business, in particular, It is not unusual to respond to hundreds of emails a day.
They will often find themselves answering the same questions they have responded to
many times before and their email software offers little functionality to address
this repetition.

It was this realization that spurred Xequte Software to develop Cruise Control, an
email responding program built from the ground up to enhance the productivity of
heavy email users. Functioning as a stand-alone email client or as an add-in for
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Gmail, Cruise Control offers an optimized
workflow, automatic guessing of the best response and quick access to commonly typed
text.

Designed around the tenets of Email Productivity experts, a key function of Cruise
Control is \"Process All Messages\" which displays each of your Inbox messages in turn
and allows you to instantly reply, forward or archive them. If an action is not
possible immediately, you can delay a message and it will return to your Inbox once
it reaches its specified due date

Cruise Control saves you from \"Email Déjà vu\" by allowing you to easily save any
text you have typed as a response template or text snippet. In this way you need
only think of the best answer to a particular question once and it will be available
for instant reuse in future messages. Cruise Control will even use Bayesian
analysis to guess which response is relevant for each message based on your past
replies.

Your stored responses are not limited to text, they can also include attachments,
formatted rich text and embedded images and \"Fields\". Fields allow you to insert
information that changes with each message, for example, the recipient\'s name (so
you need never type \"Dear Tom\" again), the date, a download link for the product
being discussed or even information retrieved from another program.

Whereas Responses are complete replies to a message, \"Quick Text\" are small snippets
of text that you commonly type. The can be inserted into your messages with a
single click, or even assigned to keyboard shortcuts or \"auto-text\". For instance,
type \"myweb\" to insert a clickable link to your web page, \"productimage\" to embed a
picture and rich text description of the relevant product, or \"attachprof\" to attach
a company profile document.

At the heart of Cruise Control is a powerful Responding Window that provides all of
the information you need to immediately dispatch a message. This includes the
original message, complete with an integrated Attachment Viewer that displays common
file formats without launching them. A search panel lists the complete history of
the current contact and allows you to find other relevant messages. You also have
immediate access to your responses and Quick Text snippets.

Cruise Control offers a powerful set of rules to assign message to different
profiles. In this way you may choose to respond only to \"Support\" emails, for
example. The reply address and signature will be changed, and irrelevant Responses
and Quick Text will be hidden.

Other features include \"Product Guessing\"; if your company offers a selection of
products, their names (and any nicknames) can be specified and Cruise Control will
determine which are mentioned in each message. With this it will personalize your
response and offer only relevant text snippets. Cruise Control also allows messages
to be forwarded to common recipients or recipient groups with a single selection.

Finally Cruise Control just does some things the way that all email software should
do, but frequently do not. For instance Microsoft Outlook cannot even recognize an
email address and will always prompt you to confirm the spelling of any that it
finds. Likewise it will invariably ask you to confirm the spelling of the name of
the person you are replying to. Cruise Control does not make such elemental
mistakes.

Further information, including evaluation copies, can be obtained from the Xequte
web site at www.xequte.com or from sales@xequte.com. Cruise Control runs on Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista and is priced at $49.50(US).
