I've had pretty much all my mail contents scanned for me since 1999. It's a great service - I can go anywhere in the world, and never worry about a bill, or a charge, or change in terms of services that get mailed to me. Plus, they'll forward any "hard items" (like credit cards) to a physical mailbox (which, in my case, is a pobox that will forward anything that arrives to whatever address I happen to be in the world.) So - all my mail goes to Sioux Falls South Dakota, which then gets scanned (and presumably shredded), and then hard items are re-mailed to Mountain View, which then, on a monthly basis or so, get re-mailed again to Singapore (where I currently am). It only took the USPS 16 years to offer the scan/email service for the envelope - it will be interesting to see when they'll scan/email the contents.
