Drag and drop from a spreadsheet, word processor, or graphics program ...
the embedable opject idea. Having the mail program be able to directly
render some standard wp formats, show graphic items within the document,
etc. Drag FROM a email to a spreadsheet, database, whatever. Shared
document areas and stuff. Sort of like how exchange and outlook are
SUPPOSED to work only make it REALLY work. It is a powerful concept, just
klunky in its implimentation and its wandering away from existing
standards.
