Because if you're behind a corporate proxy server/firewall, using a
corporate mail system, you may not have the latitude to play games with
the mail headers. If I'm at work anywhere other than the main office, I
*can't* access my home machine and send mail from it during the day.
Effectively, I would be able to send messages only in the evening. This
isn't a profound issue, but it does prevent participation in real-time
discussions.
