It was intended to be a Govt. initiative that would add legal weight to mails so that they don't get dropped or bounced, unless a particular email address is blocked for other reasons. It would also provide revenue to the postal dept. Inter-Govt. agreements at international levels can go a long way to solve this problem.
Hmm... sounds spooky. Sorry if i'm being a little bit of a conspiracy nut here, but do we really want government(S) to control who can mail and who can't? If a goverment puts down a law that states only mails with this ``e-stamp" or whatever can go through and others can't; and this legislation has to be obeyed by all the ISP's of the country - well we would have quite a mess then. Its the same old story, more regulation and over administration ultimately end up messing up the system and causing pain to the people and giving extreme power into the hands of a few. Not a good situation to be in. As technology grows better, its problems increase too. Today IMHO email
has lost its importance in sending official or complaint mail.
Why so :-) Many companies take email complaints seriously. Of course the customer may feel much better after shouting at someone in a call center rather than punching keys ;-) The
influence of a paper letter is still hard to beat.
Very true, a few nibbles and bits cannot compare to a personal touch. Also, where there is no infrastructure there is no other choice. Regards, - vihan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
