To be honest i find this bad thing to use emails to do anything rather
than online registration and not necessary stuff (means being
encrypted,manipulated.. just not something important)
Email sucks due to:
* Messages are not encrypted by default which mean it need an extra tool
to do it and commonly used is GPG/PGP + it needs tool to implement this
encryption on the messages which mean mail reader/client most commonly
one used is thunderbird/icedove <- This method having tremendous
security issues check for example:
* Most of the time (not always) heavily rely on clearnet which mean
issues of TLS/DNS which needs to be hardened otherwise they are exist by
names but does nothing.
..This is out of scope to discuss this in details, I just want to see
the bug URL linked to the bottom of the email i receive thats it.
