	Well, the list of possible addresses to offer is not restricted
to those, it expends overhead to add such things, and it's all guessing
that may not get the message you labored to compose actually sent to
anyone successfully.  So it comes back to personal judgments of where
to draw the line w.r.t. to "featuritis" at possible expense or more
important functional enhancement...
