Maybe, but in commercial environments it depends if the sender needs
more from the receiver (or has more force/power/....) or vice versa to
decide which of both opinions on the issues decide the following
actions.
And that can well be "turn off the blocking".

Please note that I didn't mention anything on what is correct and what
is wrong, good or bad or ugly, standard-compliant or not, etc. because
that does not matter in any way there - it is a religious matter for
these people in believing in M$FT.

No, I do not like it either but the majority of people obviously have no
problem with it.
Yes, I reply inline and delete full-quotes (if I happen to answer them).
Yes, I mark all of these "I'm, not in my office until" mails as spam
(especially if I get more than one inclusive-or they go over a mailing
list) because that *is* spam  as in "unsolicited bulk email".

Just plain rejecting mails simply kills the communication (as it kills
the business relation) so that won't you get that far.

Any better idea than being a PITA and flagging it as spam to get in the
long run people to think about it?
