Still, I find it surprising that there is no software or service that performs this function -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 13:34 10
- well, I don't find it odd that there's no service. - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:35 8
  - so why not have the service ftp/something the files to a secured company server then? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 13:38 2
    - I think the SEC would get pretty pissed off if there was information harvesting like this going on -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:39 1
      - (In fact, with GMail now positioning itself to offload email services ... the SEC and similar organizations should be keeping an eye out for abuses) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:40
  - But there's YouSendIt and it's like that do this all the time. Just nothing similar on the receiving side -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 13:38 4
    - Because by definition, a service would have to view *all* incoming email, whereas yousendit is opt-in -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:38 3
      - Sure, but again, I also trust Postini to do this for me for spam... -- nm - oblique Dec 23, 13:40 2
        
        well ... then, if they don't have an option for that, buy them out and implement it and be a goldenchild of the next decade -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:41 1
        
        I figure you could hook up with Amazon S3 for attachment storage and maybe even - oblique Dec 23, 13:45
- well, get on that! - groiny Dec 23, 13:34
(To be drawn to the Microsoft bugzapper is to deny one's own role in the organization) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:33
