The most likely outcome of this "service" is that many more sites will
cease to forward mail on the basis that they aren't interested in
footing the bill for TWG's MR system.  I agree heartily that any firm
interested in such a network-wide service had better be prepared to
poll each and every customer's site.  A question I don't quite
understand the answer to is: Why do most sites arbitrarily forward
mail?  Running netnews can increas productivity in certain fields, but
why mail?
