The PrintFu Gmail Challenge
When was the last time you read an email you received 6 years ago? Chances are you haven't. Why is that? Because we loose CD's, Floppies, Zips, Hard Drives etc. So whats the solution?
A product that can log in to various email systems . ie Yahoo, GMail, HotMail.. download messages and using the PFML xml2pdf web service, generate a PDF.
How cool would it be to have a PrintFu book of your emails from 2004? Gmail would be a great start. You could select a specific "filter" to print - and boom you have a nicely printed PrintFu Book. Whomever builds it first wins. Considering the amount of email out there, and the amount of users that would use this "Printed Email". Could generate some serious referral coin.
Maybe a good starting point would be the GMail API for Java

Good idea - but I think the gm4j is broken right now.
Any other frameworks out there that you know of?
Thanks

corbin, heck with email, i'm looking for a great tool to print blogs.
blogs might come in all shapes and sizes, but for most, the layout code is quite regular and visible (especially with style sheets).
'click to receive a bound copy of this blog' ...
