Re: e-mail over AFS !

[Marc Horowitz]

Could someone explain to me why some people want to do *everthing*
through the filesystem?  AFS is great as a distributed filesystem, but
it seems intuitively obvious that a protocol designed for handing
mail, or news, or whatever, would be inherently better at that
specific task.

Not to mention that some machines don't have AFS, and never will, but
IP stacks are a lot simpler and more common.  (I'm never gonna have
AFS on my HP 100lx.)
