Service Turns Snail Mail Into Online E-Mail

For $13 a month, you can never get paper mail again. A service called Earth Class Mail MAKES YOUR SNAIL-MAIL ELECTRONIC. You file a change of address with the post office and have all your mail sent to the company. They scan the outside of the envelope, and you view the scans online. Click on a piece of mail, and choose to recycle it, have it scanned so you can later read it online, or -- GASP! -- have the physical paper mail forwarded to you at any address. You can then "archive" the originals (they have a massive warehouse). (props to The Red Ferret Journal).

seems like more work than opening the mail box.

Me too, and I agree. My wife, however, thinks this is great anyway because they catalog and archive your mail, and recycle the junk mail (which is the majority of mail we receive).
