RC Mail

Is nothing sacred? Remote Control Mail will receive, open, scan, and e-mail the contents of your US Postal Service mail. Quite frankly, I can't believe we didn't see this on the market during the period after the rise of e-mail but before the advent of online billing.

The service seems a little pricey: a $25 activation fee and $25/month if you pay month-to-month. The catch is that if you exceed a certain number of pieces received, scanned, or shredded, you're looking at additional charges. I suppose this would be advantageous for most world travelers, but I still like the potential of a papercut now and again.
