It is all about value.  With an API into IMAIL I could do so much that it would be worth rewriting history if I had to do it.  Of course it is for what I could get out of it... A lot!  Imagine being able to build a certificate (digital signing and decryption) apparatus into your ASP mail gateway using a remote certificate store and then just calling.
 
<% IMAIL.GetHeaders %>
to see the messages.
then
<% IMAIL.ReadMsg(MsgId) %>
to read the specific message.
 
or [here comes my big dreams]
 
<%
newVar = IMAIL.ReadMsg(MsgId)
MailString = MyClass.Decrypt(CertificateId, newVar)
Response.Write(MailString)
%>
 
to read in, decrypt and then display it decrypted... 
Do something cool like that!  Do that while under SSL and you begin to see how this could suddenly sell into defense contracts, health care systems, etc...  Mucho Money Man!  That is where I want to play next.
