Note, Charles wrote about "hundreds of little-used features", while you counter with a single example. Add up all the hundreds little-used features waiting to be included, then tell again. Nobody denies that any _single_ such feature means little impact, but why add this SMTP or return-receipt and not all the other little goodies?
