I initially thought "support mode" was a shortcut for "distortion mode".
:)
I think "supporter mode" would be clearer.
However: I also think the button (regardless of what it says) is a
distraction. It would be nice if it could be hidden for supporters with
>100 days (or another nice number of days) left on their licence.
I seem to have 5473 days left on my licence. I'm sure I'll notice the
automatic payments have stopped long before support(er) mode expires. ;)
(I have no plans to stop sending you money. MailMate is essential
software.)
