I do deal with it. I use mail programs that do what I want them to do.

It would seem odd to start by assuming that anything I want is inherently ignorable. Generally, when I want something, somebody else wants it too. Maybe it's "obscure" from a marketing standpoint, and there might not be any profit in providing it, but that's not what Free Software is about, is it?

Maybe doing what people want even though "there's no market" is why Free Software is eating your lunch.
