[Sigia-l] IBM Reinvents E-mail

[CD Evans]

Sorry for the delayed response, but it email after all.

I agree with Ralph. We need a moderator/editorial role for some 
lists. Anyone know to cost justify this. I think it's a full time job 
on most lists. What would we call it, 'Email with class'?

It's worth setting up a mail server and investing in editors. Five 
years ago I would have done it. Now, I'm unfortunately thinking it 
wouldn't sell. Where's the revenue model in email?
