Formatting and Design.
Some people love graphical e-mails. Others just want plain text. So you want to
send beautifully formatted HTML and text messages that anyone

there are no guarantees it will maintain formatting.

helps you to test your email.

consuming.

Protecting your contacts’ privacy.
How many times have you received an e-mail where everyone has been "cc-ed" and their e-mail addresses are

address book is not a good place to store and organize all your data.
