This is exactly how I felt reading this post. It just seems to imagine a world that's unlike the one we live in.
Nevermind the fact that this gives someone else control over my inbox, which is sort of the point of hosting your own mail in the first place. I don't think this idea has a prayer of catching on, and in fact most of what the author is suggesting can be handled with server-side code.

- Pinckney 14y agoI think you're confusing this with Outlook style message recall. The proposal here is about helping the receiver automatically cull out of date email. Of course you should be free to ignore any such flag. The point is that it would allow convenient filtering by some subset of recipients.
