When you're in the midst of an IM session with someone, you know when they're typing - there's a little info field that says "Rabbi Krustofski is typing".
Handy!
It would be a neat feature of email programs too - every morning, my sister and I email one another, and sometimes I'm running late or I miss a day. It would be cool if while I was typing my email, if my goodly sister were to check her email, instead of just the glaring 'NO ONE LOVES YOU' of a no new mail screen, it would say "Mike is writing an email to you right now!"
The way this would work: as soon as I entered her name in the To field, a little mini communique would be sent to her email address (actually an email, but short in the way only binary can be, and automatically sent when I begin typing the email).
If I canceled the email or saved it for later, the message on her screen would clear or update, as the applicable. Now, some people would not approve of this feature - so it would be a setting you could toggle, or enable for specific people only.
