> smtp grew up to be an antisocial curmudgeon. extended smtp starts with EHLO.

"EHLO" still sounds friendly. It just sounds like a different accent or something. Know someone that used to answer calls with a friendly "Jello?".



Eventually Microsoft will debut Microsoft Extended SMTP which will greet with MEHLO


yeah, i think you're right. i originally read a bit of snarky blow-off, like "eh?" ... but you know, now that i think of it, it's actually does have more of a friendly canadian style vibe.
