A quiz by Sam Rose. It gets weirder the further you go. Like: Did you know emails could have comments? Anything (in parens) is a comment. Introduced in RFC 822, but made obsolete by RFC 5322. And you can use square brackets to provide an IP instead of a domain??| Email is good.
I'm not even close to a heavy user yet, but I have to admit that Fastmail has been really nice to use as an email client. I could see going primary with it at some point. While we're on a little Fastmail kick here, I thought I'd share Jason's "Mail rules on Fastmail that make…| Email is good.
