A question regarding the notes in 10 and 11:

Would it make more sense to suggest that the mail system make the UAID

Simple question:  why?

Complex question:  What is the empirical basis for believing that any user 
interface design recommendations that we make will have any utility to the 
end-user?  Experience with usability design demonstrates a key constant:  it is 
almost impossible to ensure user interface utility in the absence of empirical 
data.
