Replying to spam is at best pointless, but most likely actively harmful.
Emacs having a package to help you reply to spam is at best pointless,
but most likely actively harmful.

This is one of the many things that makes Emacs look antiquated.
I find the refusal to even obsolete such things demotivating for working
on Emacs. So IMO the cost for keeping such things around is non-zero.
