Well, maybe it would be a bit of work. XML would just be ideal for doing what we have been talking about though. Is anyone working on XML-based email clients? ie. a client which could use a DTD/Schema to allow you to send "intelligent" emails? I know a server would be the next step, but a client version would be so useful.
