2003jun09. Occasionally I end up in a continuous email volley with someone else, and it’s at this point that the limitations of email make themselves known. Lines of inference get tangled up, I’m backing up to refresh earlier trains of thought, I’m copying and pasting from multiple old emails. I just want something between email and chat, run by the same email client. Managed chat. One logged window per person, not n email messages with irrelevant subject fields.
