Virtually every email client out there has a way to change your return
address, which is what we're talking about here. I think that the
'personality' feature is useful and different from 'redirect' for various
reasons, the main one being:
It's buried in the settings dialogue and it isn't obvious how to set it up.
This prevents accidental misuse, which is a problem that sometimes happens
with 'redirect' (which people occasionally accidentally hit instead of
'forward').
Anyone can forge email if they want to enough; my main concern is when they
start doing it by accident.
