As I composed some replies and topic from the awesome responses I received to yesterday's posting, this popped into the mailbox.

Yahoo! seems to have bought a small provider for the mail interface customizations.  Here is an outtake:

In a message to subscribers posted late Friday, Oddpost Inc. said it had been bought by Yahoo and that its development team was focusing it energy on building new additions to Yahoo Mail.

"Oddpost.com will continue to operate with no interruption in service," the San Francisco company announced. "However, from this day forward, we'll be working on a new, advanced Yahoo Mail product."


Oddpost's $30-a-year e-mail service focuses on an e-mail interface with functionality that is similar to that of desktop applications such as Microsoft Outlook, such as the ability to drop and drag messages. It also has a built-in news reader for aggregating Weblogs and RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds.


I don't think they ever stop with the enticements.  But back to the topic of enterprise messaging, I have
tons on the brain about it.
