Talk:Email system/Draft

This article is intended to be the most basic on how the Internet email system works (as opposed to history, economics, applications of email, etc.) We will add lots of subtopics expanding on details such as message formats and transfer protocols. Topics such as email security will be made subtopics, because it is so much easier to discuss email security once you understand the basics. Spam will be a related topic, because it does not expand on or depend on this article.

Article title

There's nothing wrong with the topic, but the title needs changing. "Overview" is not a topic but the function of the article, and we don't describe the functions of articles in the titles of articles. Also, titles are lower-cased except when they are names and in a few other cases. So something like email system, or e-mail system (here are some outdated data points) might work...maybe email technical functioning...well, that's probably lame as well. --Larry Sanger 17:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

email system sounds good. I'll try creating those pages again with the new title. I was not able to delete or revert the current pages. Got stuck on the cluster move. Should I assume they will be deleted if there is no activity? --User:David MacQuigg 13 November 2008

Looks like it might be being taken care of--I wouldn't worry about it. --Larry Sanger 02:20, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
