Define "Most"? Please be prepared to show your math.
If you define "most" as in "installed user base" then sure, that'll be
the case, because the bloatware Outlook will happily do it, but if you
simply exclude Outlook, I think that far fewer mail clients pull
double-duty than you might think.
What else is popular in that space?
Thunderbird - yes, but rapidly becoming bloated as well
Eudora - Nope. Mail only
Apple Mail - Nope. Mail only
Pegasus Mail - Nope. Mail only.
Please don't try to paint this as being "simpler, easier" than, say,
not doing ANYTHING different than any other e-mail message. Doing so is
pretty much a losing battle. heh
