Donald Knuth has his secretary print his email. He'll handwrite replies on the paper, and she'll send them out.

		I love how the people who basically invented computing prefer doing things using pen and paper, or go really out of their way (emailing screenshots of websites) to avoid certain widespread technologies they helped create.

		Long ago some sales dept colleagues did this with large excel spreadsheet. I couldn't stop insulting them in my head (treehugger me fully triggered). Maybe they were all math geniuses ..

You should read some of the Emacs mailing lists. There’s been a recent (~last 12 months) discussion about changing the default Emacs logo. The proposed new logo, an SVG, was attached to the mail parent. A side thread ensued when RMS asked how to open an SVG and view it in its image form.

I love my Emacs. And yet here I am completely dumbfounded by this interaction!

		SVG is 21st century tech! EDIT: eww can render SVG quite well! EDIT 2: but no SVG animations...
