Something I like about email is that I can email a request to SRI-NIC
and find out WHOIS information and also retrieve RFC's that way. I
can't currently do this with FAX.

I agree that the general user interfaces to email need a LOT of work
to be made more usable. This is generally true about TCP/IP-based
applications, though.
