I have to agree with your
remarks although I'd like to add that, in my view, eMail use will
approach a horizontal asymptote: ending as a sort of "good old
standby". "FWIW" I think more and more people are recognizing
the issues with "social media" and this seems to manifest as the
"in crowd" ( whoever that is ? -- "millenials" ? teens ? ) --
tend to shift from fad to fad from a business standpoint e/mail seems to be "base" communication: the one we expect net users to have -- at a minimum. i.e. the odds of a network user having e/mail would be higher than that he or she would be on a particular social media. i terms of e/mail though -- and I suspect most folks would agree -- the trend seems to be to web-base clients -- although these seem to be sluggish and messy .

this is nonetheless an interesting development. on the one hand I'd hate to see Thunderbird lapse and become inconsequential .To a large extent it already has. Email usage has been declining for many years. The largest person-to-person communications medium today is Facebook Messenger. (Which has all manner of privacy implications, don't get me wrong; I'm not endorsing this change.)Email is a diminishing market, and email clients like Thunderbird are grabbing a diminishing share of a diminishing market. The only good news is that since the entire system is open-source, it's going to be harder to kill than Rasputin. And as long as Thunderbird's around, we're going to be, too. :) _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net -- /Mike |
