  okay, i was thinking of posting a wish list at some point, but now
  you've poked me to do it.  sap has a home-grown mailer as well.  in
  general, it is slow and doesn't have the features i'm used to in mh
  (mh-e) and basically i hate the thing, but it does have some features that
  are very, very cool.  they are:

  o messages can have attributes.  these include: 
    o reply requested, where you can't delete the message until you've
      replied to it; 
    o express, where the message pops up to the top of
      the inbox stack and a window pops up notifying its arrival;
    o action, where the message, in addition to being read as a normal
      message, can also be a form with editable and non-editable fields
      (ie. in our bug-reporting system, a form is filled in with
      appropriate information and the target developer receives a mail
      message.  the mail message is transformed into a form where the
      priority, status, and notes can be updated.  one of the fields is
      the person currently responsible--this can be updated to pass the
      bug report on to another developer.)
  o message annotation. a copy of the message you send is saved and
    is annotated with when and when the recipient has read or performed
    an action on the message.

  that's a start.  i should find a copy of the manual and be a bit
  more specific.
