that "those who attempt to
reinvent SMTP are doomed to do it poorly",
O, the irony. :) It just so happens the "Yakov Shafranovich",
on the ASRG

I subscribed, no traffic yet.
If there was a new version of email agreed to the only logical motivation
would be to align email with an existing population of other protocols in a
different idiom. For example if the Web Services world had taken off there
could be an incentive to have a native Web Services base email mechanism.
At this point I don't think Web Services are mature enough to create that
incentive. But they are certainly well enough advanced that any NON-Web
Service based proposal is a non-starter amongst the Industry majors.
