But thats the state of email today -- maybe it works, and maybe not. You can control your own email system but can't do anything about the hundreds of thousands of weirdly configed systems that are more-or-less broken. That isn't a motto. It's a realization that mail is hard to do, and making sure that you can talk with the folks you want is the most thing for a lot of people. --STeve Andre'
