I wearily note that Web-browser/e-mailer software writers gladly spend time
 adding fancy features, instead of
sorting out basic details. If they really want to impress, I'd like to see
 useful improvements like:

* Detect and bounce binary attachments.

* Binary attachments not copied when you press the "reply to" button

That would please a lot of people on this thread

* Detect and bounce messages from people trying to unsubscribe
        by mailing to the PIClist instead of the list server.

* Multi-priority stream and packet service channels.

I read somewhere that most net accesses were for adult sites. If the net had a
 channel set aside for this, ISP
companies could assign a low-priority (most people), block it (for concerned
 parents), or charge extra for
those that do want it in a hurry. After all, courier services have a tarriff for
 different delivery priorities.

* Sorting out text handling of line breaks, word wrapping, etc.

I get mail broken into lines by equals signs etc, or paragraphs as single very
 long lines.


I think the first idea is the most feasible to implement. Anyone else have
 better ideas?
