    Dear Monsieur Cornuau,

    Thank you for submitting this IMS enhancement request.

    After a comprehensive review, we regret to inform you that we have determined that at this time this request will not be a candidate for inclusion in an upcoming release because request has a high implementation cost with a low relative value.  Hence, we have rejected this request.

    We appreciate your input to the IMS development team.

    Sincerely,
    Jeff Fontaine
