Something like a secretary to handle standard responses for incoming mail might be useful for many who get lots of unsolicited mails that are not outright spam. Could be a "Lenny" equivalent for spam, but also a templatized respon

Also, the 2% of the impacted users might have 50% of _all_ users as a dependency (just throwing out a random number for illustration), so I'm not sure that the "2% users" messaging matters to the recipients of that PR.
