we-mail

Geeksugar just taught me the meaning of We-Mail: a couple's joint e-mail account. Like, mattandmandy@yahoo.com.

This is something I don't get. I have a couple friends who use a We-Mail as their sole means of electronic communication, and I'm always kind of hesitant to send them personal information. I imagine the husband opening the e-mail and peering into all my boy problems.

I can't imagine which kind of communication would require We-Mail.

Maybe bills? Electronic bank statements?

It still seems kind of pointless to me.

Then again, maybe I'm just jealous because I've never been one-half of a We-Mail address.

Readers, weigh in: When, if ever, is We-Mail necessary?
