How often have you done this? How often does it work? What fraction of people you communicate with are using sufficiently proper mail clients?
- dredmorbius 14y agoIn technologically-oriented communities, fairly often. In others, not so much. Had an interesting situation with a legal case a few years back, much of which revolved around email evidence. Using standard Unix tools, cutting through, searching, organizing, and categorizing a large volume (thousands) of emails was fairly straightforward. Working with a legal team who had access only to conventional Windows products was ... maddening. Turns out, of course, that only a very small handful of documents were ultimately relevant to the court presentation, but understanding the context in selecting and presenting those was greatly assisted by being able to effectively process far more.
