And how are emails any different from web articles? Both contain structured thoughts represented as structured text, both often contain code and quotations, lists and so on. Why special treatment?

Totally different. Try for one week to substitute every sent/received email with web articles instead.

It's like a cake and an elephant not being essentially the same, just because they're both made of atoms.
