I don't like the word "classic" here, again, unless we define it
explicitly and narrowly in the terminology section.
We're what, 40 years into the existence of e-mail now? and 30 years
into the existence of end-to-end encrypted e-mail? There are indeed
some traditions about how e-mail messages are structured. E-mail
messages that are structured according to those traditions are
"traditional". Calling them "classic" makes it sound to me like they
are somehow a shining example of things we wish we still had
(e.g. "classic cars" or "classic films"). If we could make it clearer
that these things are more like "classic mistakes" i'd feel more
comfortable with it ;)
