There could be one you can turn on with a config option that I'm not
aware of do to having never had the need.

Huh.  I can't remember a time in my life when I've responded to an
e-mail for which the above statement would be true for me :)

(Well, there was that one time I attempted to respond to an e-mail
using my cell phone.  I don't do that anymore :)
