I still can't forget how people trolled Outlook back then... Outlook used to display the header X-Message-Flag as a GUI banner message, so we had...

X-Message-Flag: WARNING!! Outlook sucks
X-Message-Flag: Warning! Using Outlook is insecure and promotes virus distribution. Please use a different email client.

An Outlook mail window, displaying an E-mail from a FreeBSD mailing list, with a banner message showed by Outlook: Warning! Using Outlook is insecure and promotes virus distribution. Please use a different email client.

@niconiconi I wasn't aware of this. It's hilarious!

@niconiconi this reminds me of the early versions of iOS when you used to be able to trigger notifications on other people's iPhones by sending a text with *go at the start 😁

@niconiconi I never really understood outlook messages.

They appear to be E-Mail.
But yet they try to steer away from the technical specification as much as possible.

Outlooks feels like failed en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,
