I'm curious; perhaps someone out there knows... 

Has anyone yet attempted to&nbsp;create "RSS email", where the "feeds" served to a feedreader&nbsp;might be automatically synthesized from the emails themselves as things such as Person (from or to), Thread, Folder, etc?&nbsp; (One could probably easily implement this as a straight layer on top of IMAP.)&nbsp; Rather than just inserting RSS into an email client paradigm as in Newsgator, it might be amusing to invert the solution and explore the usability issues of rethinking email as being just another form of feed served up to a reader, with plug-ins for creating &#38; replying, etc.&nbsp; Hmm. 

Has anyone yet attempted to create what I guess I'd refer to as a "Hyki" - that is, a character-by-character real-time collaborative (Hydra-like, Groove Text Tool-like) editor with automatic creation of real-time linked sub-documents when CamelCase words are typed, etc.&nbsp; ??I'm curious too. That would be great.

Ray, if you find something or someone else knows. Let me know too!
