So would the concept of subscribable channels. Taking cc and bcc would help as well. Better ways to file and to retrieve would go a long way. A pub-sub approach to mail lists would simplify things. Doing away with attachments and concentrating on links and urls would be a good thing. Finding some way of connecting the content to the context would be great. If you had all that, you'd have blogs and wikis and channelised IM. If you had none of it you'd have SMS and simple IM. Which leaves e-mail ..... somewhere.... Good to see you back, Bobby.
