E-mail-based interface for collaboration and productivity

Looking for: Undergraduate Student, MSc Student

Many people hate e-mail, but for many of us it is the main interface of our interactions with others. Can we create a service or Thunderbird plug-in that could help us track when people comply (or not comply) with our requests for information? Can the e-mail itself become a way to do quick surveys without requiring the responders to go to a web-page?
