It's not a dying breed because of that- it's less popular now because so
many new to the M$ world of internet never realised how non-compliant
that company is, and accept their low non-standard "standards" that
exist solely because they were (and still effectively are) a monopoly.
(It goes with top-posting, and other solecisms)
I have never found the lack of (frequently) asinine "bells and whistles"
a handicap in communicating.
