The one that lets you send an email to every one in your contact list with one click and the forward button :mad:

If an email is so important that you need to forward it so someone then you will enter the address manually and if its so important that these people must send the same email to a whole heap of people then they can just send it to every one individually if its all that necessary.

My reason for this rant is getting a whole heap of emails like this:
hey everyone,
I dont normally send this sort of stuff out but had a look on
internet and its actually true . On the 1st of november , we will have to
pay for the use of our MSN and email accounts unless we send this message
to at least 18 contacts on your contact list. It's no joke if you don't
believe me then go to the site ( www.msn.com ) and see
for yourself.
Anyways once you've sent this message to at least 18 contacts , your msn
dude will become blue. please copy and paste don't forward cos people won't
take notice of it

With those 2 features removed from emails there would be less spam and chain mails and the world would be a better place.

/rant off

God im turning into a grumpy ol' git :p

Maybe they could just remove them from webmail adresses like hotmail and Gmail.
Either way they are really getting frustraiting
