Since it's obvious that no on-the-wire compatibility is possible, it's fair to give it a new name for branding/marketing. Sometimes the progress happens that way, the new name becomes fashionable with $politician and $businessperson and using "email" now signals your low status, etc.
BTW, the new-non-email could facilitate fighting spam and attention-fishing through some micro-payments scheme.
