Withdrawing mail

This sounds crazy. But why not for a discussion?

1. Store each message in receivers /usr/spool/mail/xxx
   as a file with necessary information such that it can be 
   deleted by authorized user.

2. Store each message in the sender's /usr/spool/mail/xxxx as a
   file and put a signal in receiver's mailbox. The message is
   delivered when the receiver read it.

For local E-mail, I don't see any techinical  difficulty to implement.

(Let's assume there is no compatibility problem with existing software.)
