Sure we can do voice mail, but even with compression (mentioned above
but removed in overzealous editing) - will voice mail cause a LARGE
increase in net bandwidth problems?  Will the actual voice recording
add anything to the mailing beyond the text rendition, especially
considering the extra bandwidth required to move the stuff?  

Further, do you really want to hear those flames in person?

Maybe we should add video mail (:-) ... anim files of digitized
sequences...  nah, I'm not sure if I could handle looking at this
bunch (:-).
