> I do not know if main feature requests should be posted here, but I do 
> think it is important.
> If you want the Wave protocol to slowly replace Email, it needs to be 
> backward compatible!
> You should be able to send/receive emails from Google Wave (or any wave 
> site). The system would basically send 2 version of the wave. A 
> "wave" 
> version, and an "email" version. The same way we do plain text / 
> html 
> currently for email. So we would add an email header including a reference 
> to the current wave, so if the recipient is using a wave-compatible 
> service, it would know to switch to wave. Otherwise, if it does not 
> understand the wave header, it would just ignore it and use regular email.
> Something like that.
> Because seriously, I don't wave picking anytime unless you help people move 
> gradually away from email.
> Right now I have a lot of friends with wave, but I don't use it because I 
> know they check their emails wayy more often than their wave account.
> I do the same. So it all needs to be combined.
