It's their party, they can cry if they want to.  Protonmail
is useful as a privacy-protecting email service, but is not
useful as a general purpose tool. 

Perhaps we should explore alternatives to Protonmail that are
(1) zealously protective of privacy, and (2) compatible with
mailing lists like plug, and (3) incompatible with masquerade
by spammers ... which I suspect motivates Protonmail's policy.

(or invent and sell) better baskets to put our precious
communication eggs in.  No clue how; I run my own email
server, and spend way too much time training spam filters.
