Why hasn't any company come up with a combination word processor - email program?

My brother-in-law receives documents in email (not attachments) and then edits them and forwards them to himself to save them. I have tried to explain to him that he should use a word processor and save the individual documents but he gets too frustrated to try to coordinate between the email and word processor.





That got me thinking. Why can't a word processor include built in email? I am not referring to the current "send to email" feature. I want the word processor to be the email program. Obviously some things would have to be worked out such as special word processing features that would not be viewable by the receiving party unless they had a word processor - email program.

Emacs has been able to integrate email and word processing for many, many years. However, if it's ease of use you're interested in, this will not help you.
