Not to mention the ability for the sender to update messages after they've
been sent. How many times have you wanted "unsend" a message? Can't with
SMTP, but if we just emailed URLs back and forth, you could update the
content at the URL before the person you sent it to has downloaded it. This
is, of course, both a benefit and a drawback.
I think this is definitely an interesting area for XML work, and relates to
a lot of stuff I've been working on. Anyone have pointers to people who are
already working on this kind of thing? I'm interested.
