techy complaints 

Thinking about how email works and getting depressed again

email is simple, that's why MIME itself has 7 different RFCs

I apologize if you like email but we simply live in different universes

It being federated, cool. The implementation? Goodness

re: techy complaints 

@k I know enough about email that I wish there was a better alternative and that it wasn't so widespread.

Oh, and apparently there is support in the protocols for "unsending" an email that was already sent? I had that happen to me once, someone "unsent" an email they had sent me while I was typing a reply

re: techy complaints 

@Zauberin I think only Outlook / Exchange supports "unsend", and within a single organization. And from how I hear email tool devs complain about Exchange, it seems like it's Barely Email™

re: techy complaints 

@k Hmm, wonder what happened then :-/

re: techy complaints 

@Zauberin wait was this not within outlook?

re: techy complaints 

@k nope, and I wasn't in any organization, and the sender's address was on a different service (gmail).
