For people who have been in the mail business for a very long time,
that is a pretty broad claim. At best, you have a specific mail
markup language probably based on XML, but certainly there is existing
prior art (like our system). Markus Analysis guidelines applies so
there could not be any new claims against existing practices (prior
art).
There are a variety of mail representations. Including XML based,
there are other forms as well. A JSON format could be considered more
optimized for wire-data, and this does exist and done after a XML
version was tested and pushed aside.
In short, there is nothing new here.
