Even in corporate settings? Even in software development forums? Use may be "declining", but I doubt e-mail is going to go away any time soon. E-mail lists (or NNTP, darn it! ❤😻gmane😻❤) are less obnoxious than every software program using their own individual web-based forums (never mind that web-based forums - and web-based e-mail, for that matter - are just generally more annoying), and I really don't see businesses switching to social networks for internal communication. -- Matthew _______________________________________________ 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
