Thanks for the explanation, but I ran mail servers for ~25 years. I am familiar with the technology, and in the mid-90s even wrote a chapter of a book explaining email. And I've been using version control even longer. Maybe try rereading what I wrote without the assumption that it comes from ignorance.

I think your comments are coming from ignorance, though.

Without trying to be snarky - All your comments directly ignore that what you're proposing values one stakeholder more highly than another.

People keep pointing out that there are two users involved in this exchange, and they both weigh equally, and you dismiss them and talk about running mail servers 25 years ago (who cares?).

You keep saying "I should be able to unsend my email". Let me rephrase your question - Why should you be allowed to delete my email?

[wpietri]

I have in fact never said "I should be able to unsend my email". Once. In my life. Please try to argue with my actual points; I don't have time for straw men.

>Asking to unsend an email is a reasonable request. The answer could be yes or no given the circumstances, but it's only an absurd question to people who have taken a 1980s technological choice and treat it as some sort of unalterable gospel.

We're here answering affirmatively that "No" is the right answer for a LOT more reasons than an appeal to authority and history, and you accuse me of a strawman?

I wish you the best in life. Have a good day.

[wpietri]

Yes, I am indeed accusing you of a strawman. You seem very much in the discussion to win it, whatever that means to you. I can only hope that, having decided you are victorious, you'll now leave me alone, because none of your comments seem particularly productive to me.
