I’m pretty sure that article’s literally why I remembered I had my thing! :·) I wonder if those “e-mail books” existed elsewhere…

I've written a whole lot about word processors being (poorly) built around printing. So I'm with you there.
If anything comes to mind that I should read, please forward? I need this for my book. :·) The one I read: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vv7xx4/the-future-of-the-worlds-most-boring-software-the-word-processor …
