Oddly, no one I know thinks those are true. Many points copied (and commented) here so no one need follow the link. > Email services are used only for commercial purposes. Sourceforge has offered project email lists since the 1990s, and that's but one example. > Email service is the only thing to blame when your email got to spam Our very own Paul Graham did some of the early work on making Naive Bayes spam filtering practical. > People do not read long emails I've been told I write some very long emails.
