Ridiculous

This is getting totally ridiculous. Pretty soon all wireless e-Mail is going to be shutdown because a bunch of so-called adults acting like immature brats want to take their marbles and go home just because they got their feelings hurt. It won't be too long before there are more lawyers than there are people in the human race.

Prior art - nothing new

The basic underlying concept of wireless transmission of data should not be patentable. Consider, how do we get pictures from Mars? It's not rocket science... er, well, maybe it is, ha!

Moreover, e-mail transmission protocols are nothing new. Satellite communications for transmission of data is nothing new. Wireless communication is nothing new. While innovative concepts that combine existing technology is patentable, there's nothing innovative about transmission of e-mail or any other existing data format from one point to another... until a truly new transmission method is invented (Beam me up, Scotty!)
