Update from Silicon Valley: I've seen a couple products in the last few days that send out emails as part of an enterprise software system where they contain an IFRAME to embed a dynamically updating web page inside an email. The idea is you send out an email which then provides a container for tracking some view of your operational system, and whenever you open the mail message, it goes back and gets the latest info from the server. Not necessarily the best architecture, but I can understand why they're doing it in a variety of situations I've seen.
