Starting maybe a year ago I would occasionally get an email QSL card from someone I worked.? I didn’t think they were worth anything for DXCC, so after taking a look I deleted them.? Now I get several of these a day—maybe a notable fraction of the recent QSOs.? So my question is, for the DXers in the group, what do you do when you receive these email QSLs?? If you respond, how to you generate your electronic QSL?? Is this a passing fad that will blow past in a while?
I don’t want to be rude to the senders, but I have no idea how/why one would respond with an email QSL in return. I’m wondering if this is the future and I need to get on board, or if (as I’ve been interpreting it) it a useless exercise that some folks seem to do simply because some logging software offered the option.?
What say all the Yodas out there?

I’d kick in a few $$ to get N4N/N4G cards made up.

Email qsl are not worth the paper you would print them on.? I don't see the point.
Reply and ask for lotw. Especially now when they all look the same..

Agree with eQSLs but if I were to get a real QSL for my call on the GOTA station, I would qsl with my card.
