Does everyone need to get excited for features that existed in Outlook ca. 2000 A.D. just because they are wrapped in a shiny Web 2.0 veneer?

- icebraining 13y agoBeing an open format that can be implemented by any other mail client is, in my opinion, an important part of the feature, especially for those of us who don't use Gmail.
