I want an email client that changes my message settings based on rules. For example, when I post to a newsgroup, I want to make my email address ketan@REMOVEketan.org or something like that. I want to be able to easily switch sig files so I can have one for work and others for personal mail. That way possibly offensive quotes ("Pickup Line #11: Chick do now.") don't get sent to, say, a prospective employer. I think every significant piece of software should have a scripting engine so I can make it do things the way it should have done them in the first place. Python would be a good start. Emacs had the right idea (although they might have considered practicality when picking Lisp as their language of choice).
