There is no bill currently under consideration, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it either. It would never pass though, free email is here to stay.

Jim, I searched for any bill like that, nada. Just another online scare mongery at work. I am sure it will get worse. Here in Canada there is a move to combine assorted service billings into one monthly billing(Phone/water/gas/electric/etc) as each one costs $1 times 12 per year, they are solving the privacy quibble now. Online payment is also taking stamps out, and soon online billing might stop mail invoices totally for those who chose that option. So far the banks have charged a fee for each transaction that has hampered it a little, but that will change. In fact there will soon no longer be a need for daily mail delivery as volume drops unit costs will soar and weekly deliveries will be one way to cut costs. As far as I am concerned weekly delivery is fine for snail mail. Urgen stuff can still go special delivery. Let the post office fade away, like the pony express. Bill
