email by definition sucks
- mrweasel 10y agoWhy? I haven't seen a single alternative, ever, that comes close to providing the flexibility, versatility or openness of email. Despite the ability to be pretty much what ever you want it to be, it's still a remarkable simple protocol. Really the only thing email is lacking is good end-to-end encryption. People suck at writing emails though. I partially blame Outlook, but also the unwillingness to wanting to read and write well. So much of the hassle of email has to do with volume and the sender not re-reading their writing before hitting send.
