Email is often seen as a technology with a dim future; it is slow, easily
faked, and buried in spam. Kids These Days want nothing to do with it, and
email has lost its charm with many others as well.
But many development projects are still dependent on it, and even
non-developers still cope with large volumes of mail. While development
forges show one possible path away from email, they are not the only one.
What if new structures could be built on top of email to address some of
its worst problems while keeping the good parts that many projects depend
on? The “lei” system recently launched by Konstantin Ryabitsev is a hint
of how such a future might look.
