    Jokes on you, they don’t let people like me serve on juries. Just make a official government email and be done with it.

      We still have to get the summons and show up in order to get out of jury duty.

      Email would completely defeat the purpose; then people wouldn’t read their spam!

        Pretty sure you could program your email client to not send official government emails to spam but what do I know?

          But then nobody would have to sign up for a crony postal replacement.
