    First inter-user messaging was 62 years ago, first email client was 51 years ago, first spam was 45 years ago, first attachments were 31 years ago.

    I don’t work with it directly, but it seems we’ve bolted on a lot of “fixes and functionality” onto email, but the underlying protocols haven’t changed dramatically.

    And now nearly 56.5% of all emails were spam last year. Though I don’t think that counts intranet spam I get from my bosses all the time.
