I think one important use-case to cover is the "Do everything
Thunderbird does" case, i.e. providing all the standard amenities one
expects in an MUA.  I realize this is emacs-land where we like to do
everything in an arcane plaintext environment, but even many Emacs are
used to other MUAs.  It's relatively easy to turn off these features,
but figuring out how to turn them on and get them set up can be really
difficult.
