An exercise like the one you are doing can be very useful.
Let me strongly encourage you to re-cast the bulk of your document
into non-technical issues, first. That is, discuss messaging and a
human process, without concern for whether it is paper mail, email, or
whatever. As you offer criticisms of the human communication modes
available for Internet mail, compare whether they differ from the
modes available for other messaging.
When you suggest superior modes of operation, discuss them in terms of
the human communication first, and the technical aspects second.
After we have some consensus about these issues, in terms of human
communication, it will then be reasonable to see what changes are
needed to the technology.
