As has been pointed out, many people using email in a corporate/workplace
environment have their email selected *for* them. I'll use my favorite
example: cc:Mail. cc:Mail, as stated by Lotus, is designed as a "corporate"
email package, with internet functionality as an afterthought. Any mail
processed by cc:Mail has a "From:" field which is cc:Mail's best guess from
the headers as to who it's from. It also has a "Subject:" line. NO OTHER
HEADERS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE USER.
So, a simple prefix of some abbreviation would prevent much groaning and
complaining. (My list would be "LS:") If users gripe about losing three
letters in the subject line, they're not writing good subject lines. ;)
Even if such an option weren't switchable, all the owner would have to do if
he didn't want it would be to set it to "".
