You can stop there, I've heard enough. Not everything is hypertext.

You can stop there, I've heard enough. Not everything is hypertext.
And HTTP transports many, many more things than hypertext. It seems like a sensible choice for this use case in terms of capabilities.
From the first paragraph:
>The goal is not to replace the current mail system, heaven forbid!, but to learn, have fun and discover current technologies to swap out every element: sending, receiving, gateway, keys, and so on.
It's all for fun.
Usually, informed people only read the headline.
