20 years ago there were services for this: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/internet-services/access-via-email/
One used to be able to access FTP, Gopher, Verionica, Jughead or even - if you were so inclined - the World Wide Web just by sending commands in the body of an email. I've not used these services in about ten years, though, so I don't know how many still exist.
