Press Release Body = Durham, NC - July 5, 2006 - SourceKit, the Durham-based
developer of email marketing solutions, has announced the addition of Message
Quality ScoreT to its highly successful Email Manager marketing system. The
proprietary algorithm created by SourceKit's in-house development team, gives
hundreds of marketers using the Email Manager added confidence that their messages
will be delivered to their contacts' in-boxes (avoiding SPAM and junk mail folders)
and will display properly once it is delivered.

"The Message Quality Score tool prevents marketers from inadvertently hurting their
campaign results," explains Drew Adams, founder and president of SourceKit. "The
tool helps marketers understand how their emails will perform before they send it by
pointing out text that could get it blocked by spam filters and alerting them to
HTML issues that could affect the way their message looks across multiple email
readers. Better yet, the system then corrects many of these detrimental issues with
the simple click of a button."

Emails put through SourceKit's Message Quality Score tool undergo three critical
steps. First, each message is scanned for text and HTML elements that are
potentially damaging to its quality and deliverability, such as:

1. Content or settings that raise the likelihood of the message being marked as SPAM.
2. Broken HTML elements that are likely to make the message look inconsistent when
read in multiple email readers.
3. HTML elements that, if included, will not be rendered correctly inside webmail
readers like Yahoo, Gmail, or Hotmail.
4. Broken links and images

All potentially negative attributes of the email message are highlighted and
presented in an easy-to-read, color coded format. Next, the message is scored on a
scale from 1 to 100, with 100 being a perfect score. Each negative issue is
assigned "points" based on its severity, and those points are deducted from the
total message score. The third step allows users to click a button that
autocorrects the issues at once.

"We constantly evaluate our Email Manager product from the perspective of our users
so that we make updates that solve their most pressing dilemmas and offer added
value," commented SourceKit's president. "Areas such as deliverability and message
quality control were once thought to be uncontrollable. Now with the Message
Quality Score tool, one of the first of its kind, marketers can create and send
messages with confidence that they'll reach recipients and display correctly once
they arrive."

SourceKit has launched a free, online Message Quality Score tool for anyone who
wants to try the system at http://emailmanager.sourcekit.com/mqs/. Simply cut and
paste HTML from any email into the system, and the Message Quality Score will be
tabulated, and the top 3 potentially damaging issues listed on the screen.

The Message Quality Score system joins a host of other groundbreaking Email Manager
features that allow marketers to fully customize messages, segment and analyze their
database, and track and measure email campaigns. In addition, SourceKit's Email
Manager enables customers to engage their contacts with surveys, as well as
