A question out of focusing, who know when Google will open Gmail to public?Why wait for Gmail when you can get max 10M messages and 1G total from rediff.com ?how american of us. i doubt there uas been 1G of *real content* in my email for the last two decades.
Reminds me of that (apocryphal) Bill Gates quote about how 640K RAM ought to be enough for anyone. If people still only sent email with SNDMSG or even /bin/mail there wouldn't be all this need for six MB mailboxes, let alone 1 GB. Given increasing mailbox size, I'm sure it won't take a genius to find out how to stretch MIME to its limits wrt just how much active and multimedia rich content can be crammed into an email. srs
