Sadly nobody else seems to care :(. As for the issue at hand, it is not just the applications: I even saw replies that have not been written with the hinted at e-mail client, but with TB in a funny way: the reply on top, the signature at the bottom and the quote in the middle! Oh... and the writer of the message is an employee of the said company, with a degree from the said company ;). Of course my observations are based circumstantial evidence so sorry if I am wrong.
