That kind of defeats the purpose, because all Twitter does is show you posts by people you're following. So you're basically asking your e-mail to do the same thing that Twitter does intrinsically. There are many Twitter clients out there (much like IM clients) that you can run so you don't have to use a browser to read and post.

BTW - you can set Twitter to send you e-mails for direct messages.

What I'm hoping for is a "digest" kind of thing. I have my client up all the time, and I've got a few contacts who are a little hyperactive, and really don't want to get tweeted 60 times a day while I'm working. 'twould be nice to get a client that just shows you a list of your contacts and how many tweets and when, then I can sort through their posts when I have the patience. I'm really hoping that will be the next step in the evolution of Twitter clients.
