Why this is important:

1. You personally may not, but many users have fax->email services. For
them, this feature is absolutely necessary. For a long time, I didn't
realize that there was an extension that allows it and works well, the
lack of which causing me a lot of pain.

2. If people set bad subjects for important emails (e.g. by just hitting
reply on an unrelated subject), I can either get angry at them (because
I will not find it anymore in one week), or ask them to fix it in the
future, or I can fix it myself in my mail store. The latter, however, I
can only do with this feature.

3. Many other people have wrong clocks on their computers, and
Thunderbird sorts folders by the message send time that the sender put
in. I recently received a mail which was exactly one month off.
Completely confused me in the folder view. I can't fix it, without this
feature. (Arguably, Thunderbird should sort better.)

This is similar to "delete attachment" feature. That's also a feature
that we didn't have for a long time, and some said we didn't want it,
they said it's freaky and wrong. Finally, we added it - and it's
indispensable, as it turned out.
