About control.. what about user control? In addition to filtering out,
watching some topics specifically, coloring, threading by topic or not,
searching, and other manipulations one can do to incoming and received
emails (as well as dropping!), a major point to me is also that with
email, we can get the whole conversations offline (at least what you
received since you subscribed), even writing can be done offline (send
later), whereas it's not that easy with web content.
