> But why isn't an e-mail system a file transfer and storage system? The transfer problem may never be solved--at least until SMTP v2 comes out--but I bet if Exchange had a feature like SQL 2008's FILESTREAM then storage would no longer be an issue. Or maybe yEnc MIME extension will gain traction some day (8-bit binary encoding at 1-2% overhead)?
These silly limits on how many items go in such and such a folder will have to go away as well and it appears to me (looking at the office 2007 SP2 efforts) that this may already even be underway. ~JasonG ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
