Ok, thank you, now I know because these features are missing.

So long as someone does nothing against the laws you should let him
decide by himself what is moral or not, you are not the pope and we are
no catechumens; paternalism produces bad software (and yes, I am
immoral :D!). It is not proprietary crap when you want to grab someone
by his b****cks which left you in the lurch.

This time I used thunderbird to set these flags and I am glad that they
will be implemented soon in evolution too.
