It does look pretty ridiculous.  ETRN, formail, procmail, Web-
based UIs, etc. have been around far longer than Postini.

Heck, I was doing selective partial delivery in 1997 -- if a
message was addressed to an important email address, "head -n"
and pipe the output to a printer for paper-using staff to have.
