S.M.T.P. is extremely well-established, and has always been a reasonably |

pleasant experience for me. Which part of the protocol makes you think of it as |

"nasty"? |

That doesn't make any sense. Setting up e-mail is a fair challenge, but nothing |
| 17 |
can replace it in terms of interoperability and convenience. Perhaps the younger |
| 18 |
generation (of whom I am unfortunately a part) would almost-unanimously |

disagree, but your proposed solution doesn't really provide greater ease for |
| 20 |
you, or the people e-mailing you! |
