	Clarinet offers such a service, but not as mail.  They
offer it through Usenet.  It is a pay service though.

This isn't email, but you may be able to get a stream of 9600 baud data
out of your cable TV, containing stock quotes, investment house news
blurbs, AP & UPI news stories, weather reports, and other junk.

Call Xpress (1-800-7PC-NEWS) and they'll tell you whether your cable system
carries their service.  There is no monthly fee for the first tier.  All you
need to do is buy their box and software.

I have a Unix daemon eating their feed, saving away quotes for stocks that I
watch and stuffing the news stories into local USENET newsgroups.  I love the
thing; it's great to be able to pop into a newsreader and read "AP Top stories
as of 9am EDT".

	Good idea, BUUUT I don't think they can get cable TV or call 
1-800-anything from anywhere.su (SU - Soviet Union: see the originator's
domain).

	Other then that - GREAT IDEA :-)
