Much more, I like the posiblity to add inteligence on e-mail address and
HTML not only in the body, I like it i.e. in the "acuse de recibo" (sorry I
dont know the name of this in English it�s when you sing that you get a
message), for instance in this mesage I can put bottons when people in
this list can click, one saying you are idiot, another go ahead i like it,
other I don�t understand you,... so I can get feedback for the people in
this list that don�t reply but maybe like to click in a buttom.
Of course not only text buttoms, you know painters when something is bad
say that its purple, something neutro they call it green, something cool is
yellow, so may be a painters list group want a "acuse de recibo" of one
colour and when you put a message you get a mix of the colours in a picture
as feedback, or musicians do something similar with music, or yoguis that
can control they heart pulsations transmit their pulsations for
coordination of their hearts in a yoga experience,... who knows the best
way to get the feedback goal of simbiosis whith others?, we cann�t put
limits to cultural manifestations but those which come from security and
privacy issues as well as give efective filtering posibilities for users.
