broswer as interface Re: Mail reader app (Re: Is Beagle indexing my email?)

[Srikant Jakilinki <sriks dcs gla ac uk>]

Hi Sigurd
   Count me in on the project if you are thinking of collaborating.

Mail is high on my priority list too since I have been using Mozilla for 
long. And any important document or news I have in my life is lying 
there in a few gigs worth of email. I am sure many of us have the same 
kind of scenario. So, Google Desktop Search has been a savior for me and 
I wish Beagle could solve this problem in a similar vein.
Hint: Use the browser as the UI

Secondly, please send us the presentation, notes, paper and/or audience 
questions of your talk. I am interested in these systems as well for my 
research.

Srikant
