Whem I was a kid we had to have half a dozen different email accounts 
because CompuServe, GENIE, AOL, and my few friends at university using 
that experimental thing they were calling "Internet" couldn't send mail 
to one another.  Just be glad you can receive email in a single place at 
all.

But seriously, I've come to appreciate that no matter how many RFCs are 
written, no matter the best intentions of the programmers of email 
clients and their users, inevitably both software and people will 
operate outside of ideal guidelines.

People do what people do.  Somewhere through the years I just adopted 
the view that the only person I can rely on to manage my In Box is me. 
And even then the person responsible for it is doing a lousy job. :)
