My guess is that you didn't know about Usenet until after your first MS
PC, and MS was late getting into the Usenet world.
Usenet was setup to allow groups to share information on related topics.
In the early days you could not pass files (mime attachments), but when
it was updated to also work over SMTP it had to follow the email
standards which included attachments.
