   End-to-end messaging services like Tutanota and Protonmail, which use neither IMAP nor SMTP, are not, strictly speaking, email.

     @liamvhogan You and my father would get along great (I said, as I receive yet another email to him that he tried to send as an MMS, Telstra helpfully forwarding it to me.)

     @futzle counterpoint: it is electronic, and it is textual, and therefore counts as email

     [this principle would make all kinds of other messaging, from SMS to IRC, also 'email', which I'm happy with]

     @futzle to continue; 'email' would also encompass the epistles of the New Testament where they're stored on the internet (or any electronic form), which would make Paul, Peter, James etc. some of the most well-known users of email
