Template and scripted replies would be very useful, but about once every
two weeks I get a request for an honest-to-god please resend me that
message you sent a while back, because "my mail reader ate it/My mbox got
corrupted/I accidentally deleted it/I filed it somewhere and can't find it
again/I thought I wouldn't need it and was clearing out my inbox/I
reinstalled Windows and..."

Paraphrased: Idiots^WAccidents happen.

If resend were to just pop up the composer window on the message again,
with the same list for TO:, CC:, BCC:, etc., then that'd be perfect.
Sometimes I need to resend a message I wrote to other people who later ask
for it (in an off-the-list style conversation, 'okay, I'll bite,' sort of
way).

Resend (if you're the original author, at least) really is useful in it's
own right.
