From http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3294901.stm:
Quote:

The next time you send a joke e-mail to your work colleagues, think about how much it is costing your employer.
An "e-mail epidemic" is worrying company technical chiefs who have to store the volumes of daily messages, a survey by Hitachi has found.

A quarter of technical chiefs believe that fun, gossipy e-mails are eating into the costs of storing messages.

The problem could worsen as the number of e-mails sent daily is set to soar to from 31 billion to 35 billion by 2005.

I don't see 20% as a lot of resources, also out of that 31 billion i wonder how much of it is spam....
