I don't think that says much about email itself. He has a secretary to deal with his paper mail. There's no reason a secretary-curated email inbox wouldn't be similar.

> My secretary prints out all messages addressed to taocp@cs.stanford.edu or knuth-bug@cs.stanford.edu, so that I can reply with written comments when I have a chance.

He just does not USE email himself.
