Yahoo! unveiled (almost a month ago, oops) that Yahoo! mail accounts will come with an RSS folder. I like this idea, but what I really am interested in is getting mail *out* of email via an RSS feed. Imagine if we could create a Yahoo! mail account for our classes, and have students submit assignments as attachments to that email address (and maybe, in an ideal world, even add some freetags to the email), and then syndicate the mail folder into our wikis or blogs, where we could organize them (or have them auto-organize, based on the freetags).

Still, a step in the right direction is a step in the right direction.
