To be fair there was once a mess where e-mail was riddled with issues with charsets, bad MIME implementations, buggy QP-encoded headers and so on. Then there was the spam age. Then the no-client-actually-works age, which is where we are.

I don't think email ever worked well.

I've got every email I ever sent since 1980. I think it worked pretty well during the 80's and 90's .. but the desire to have control over peoples' social trees, and the construction of such data structures by analysis of email archives, has sort of made a huge mess of it ..
