I agree with you that email is fundamentally broken, and I use it minimally for communication, but I find it to be mostly inescapable when it comes to registering any online account. That's where I most appreciate an online service doing due diligence and making the messages unreadable to themselves as rapidly as they can.

It's one thing to leave their proverbial door unlocked for a moment where somebody could get in, it's quite another to leave it unlocked all the time. I just want a service that does the best they can given the terrible circumstances email provides.
