  3. Wrong about email by Karellen · · Score: 5, Informative

    He's wrong about one thing. Email does have links. It has links indicating who it came from and who it went to. Even without the content, that sort of information, about who is talking to whom, and in what patterns, can be really informative to those who know what they're looking for.

    If you include the content, it's a goldmine.

    URLs embedded in email would make it better again

    Aside from that though, great article.
