I agree, but in the short run there will continue to be providers that
don't provide that function.

The refusal of, e.g., yahoo, to accept plain text complaints provides
an incentive for MUA authors to write such tools. Given the number of
e-mail clients that are broken in one way or another, I'd rather see
some guidance in an RFC before the avalanche starts. Restraining the
MUA authors is not feasible.
