A elements should never, of course, send POST requests.  However, if you 
try to return to a POST result in the history, especially if expired, 
most browsers will ask you if you really mean it, because POST is not 
required to be idempotent, so re-POSTing might cause you to pay money 
multiple times.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
