Subject: Re: IP: more on  ATTBI / Eudora / SSL

I am a bit cynical about the spam argument. I think they are inconveniencing their own customers for brand maintenance. 
I've gotten 25 change of address messages from friends and I'm certain ATTbi could have made a deal to keep using the 
MX records while letting mediaone have its website.
Will it happen again when ATTbi becomes comcast?

That said, one little thing Thinmail (my startup) does is let members change their FROM address to a desired  alternate 
address AFTER email leaves the SMTP server. We did it so people didn't have to reveal their cell or pager number when 
sending messages, but it also helps people on any ISP with a one-domain policy to present the email address they choose.

How goes your move to blackberry?

Cheers,
Jordan
