Fascinated by the nascent eco-system of apps built on top of email. To PG's point in one of his essays about fixing email...I wonder if the transition to the future of email lies in using email as a protocol.

As applications are developed that better utilize some of the structured data within email, do we eventually transition to a world where very few emails under a certain threshold are read...but instead parsed for information content. Thus potentially putting the receiver back in control of the overall experience?
