Urgh, Software patents make me rage. Patents in general make me rage - they should be abolished.

As far as I'm aware, email uses protocols implemented strictly in software, so it is technically feasible to send email over IP over Avian Carrier. With WiFi or any mobile broadband systems, how are they any different in terms of carrying packets that it should take a patentable process to send mail over them? I don't get it.
