Frankly, I see no other solution to this problem in the long run except for postage, which means it's probably time to start figuring out, in earnest, how to make it all work. Whoever becomes the lowest cost producer of this kind of software stands to make a whole *bunch* of money.
We still need to work out how to fit mailing lists fit into this without eliminating them entirely. Chargebacks to the subscribers? If this list will work in a proposed plan, I think all the others probably would as well.. :-)
If the email program (client or $MTP) creates/maintains a 'known party' list which isn't expected to include postage this solves the mailing list problem. --Steve PGP mail preferred Fingerprint: FE 90 1A 95 9D EA 8D 61 81 2E CC A9 A4 4A FB A9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Schear | tel: (702) 658-2654 CEO | fax: (702) 658-2673 First ECache Corporation | 7075 West Gowan Road | Suite 2148 | Las Vegas, NV 89129 | Internet: azur@netcom.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- I know not what instruments others may use, but as for me, give me Ecache or give me debt.
