This, again on the 'InfoBeat' thing might be of interest:
"Acacia Research Corp. said its Internet Software LLC affiliate
completed the installation of the hardware, software and network at
its Alexandria, Va., facility, and is preparing to release the Beta
version of its first product, Signature-mail. Signature-mail allows
Internet e-mail users to personalize their electronic messages by
including an image of their handwritten signatures, greetings,
messages, and even drawings. Signature-mail will be available for PC
versions of Netscape Messenger, Microsoft Outlook Express, and
Outlook 98, Acacia said. Internet Software is able to sell and
deliver online up to 500,000 custom-produced Signature-mail software
programs per month. (Reuters)"
