Hello Ben,

I appreciate your advice.

I agree strongly. 
It is the reason I asked by mail, without my making a patch.

A certain user is using two mailers.
He uses a mailer in a separate place, different PCs.
Noone wants to read the same mail twice. 
And he wants to save all mails into one PC.

Therefore, STATUS: header is needed.

Although there are few situations which need this, to be sure, it is required.
