My point was more that we could get rid of the major downsides of email, namely the underspecified legacy technologies and the ability for anyone to send you one, for the vast majority of current applications.

And what do you think that automation script does?
in edit: you can set it at your flavor is all I want to say, exclude this or do that.
Whatever you think it does it certainly doesn't get rid of SMTP, IMAP, RFC822, Quoted Printable and half a dozen other encodings only used in email, MIME/Multipart, email addresses that require 8000 character regular expressions to get anywhere close to validating the full spec, the ability to send mails to anyone by anyone or anything else I was talking about.
