Here is a synopsis of the announcement from TheNewsMarket.com:

IBM has launched its Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino 8 software applications for businesses. The two software systems function by integrating e-mail, instant messaging and office productivity applications. Lotus Notes 8 and Domino 8 arrives - IBM’s new collaboration software, now available - is designed to help users spend less time managing email and more time on real collaboration. New features include enhanced e-mail that can gather and review e-mail threads more easily, enable users to view their collaboration history with specific individuals, and retrieve certain messages sent to the wrong person. The systems also feature integrated office productivity tools, composite applications, support for activity-centric computing, and Really Simple Syndication (RSS) and Atom feeds. The Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino 8 software systems are currently available by electronic means only, and are expected to be released for physical distribution Sept. 21.

Heres why I care the most - You can CALL BACK EMAIL YOU DIDN’T MEAN OR WANT TO SEND!!!

I, along with most people who use email have sent something they would have liked or died to have back. It was either embarrassing, sent to the wrong person or groups, or perhaps it was sent in a fit of email road rage and you’ve since cooled down.

I could have used this years ago. This perhaps is the most innovative email feature I’ve heard of, because were human.

This should send the rats scurrying around the room late at night at the email vendors.
