Interesting! But when you say "the assumption is that you *never* delete anything" ... do you mean in perpetuity? How realistic do you think this is, given the ~40kb payload of most virus mails these days? Over the last 6 months, I've accumulated over a gigabyte of such mail ... that's a pretty high cost in disk space!
Checking buy.com, a 120 GB EIDE 7200 RPM harddrive is about $100, even 250 GB HD is about $250. You might buy faster/redundant storage as well, but same order of magnitude.
So over a gigabyte in 6 months is between $2 and $4 annually per user. That could be expensive based on the number of users, but if it works, I'm sure even the most conscious ISPs would spend $4 annually per user to mitigate spam complaints or related costs.
