    Highly efficient and extensible email client for the terminal
    > Another problem is how badly email threading is displayed in these clients. Email UI is still abysmal. Fair point. However, given that the current alternative is "use another service entirely (e.g. GitHub)", I think it would be fair to assume that devs could choose a good e-mail client and learn how to format such e-mails correctly. It works for Linux, for instance. I started using Aerc, and I love it: https://aerc-mail.org/ > Many features of emails are an afterthought. I agree that e-mail is not perfect, but... How is GitHub better? With e-mail, you can send your patch encrypted (e.g. With PGP) if you feel the need, but otherwise it will go over HTTPS (same as GitHub). I honestly don't really know about attachments (I guess you would encrypt them with PGP as well?), but again, attachments on GitHub are not E2EE... I tend to believe that people use GitHub for different reasons, for instance: 1. It is the first thing they see when they join the industry 2. Cargo-cult, a little bit 3. Devs like new shiny toys, and e-mails are old technology ("we should have something better than e-mail in 2023", which I disagree with). 4. Nobody takes the time to try the e-mail workflow (even though it's really two git commands). Actually it is common to not really take the time to learn the basic tools, I feel.
