>"Your coworkers spent a total of 36.4 hours reading your message. It cost the company $1458 in employee time. "
This in itself could be a nice plugin for your mail. You need 3 values to be able to calculate it:
* Number of employees the mail will be sent to (hard with aliases, easier with Outlook PDLs)
* Average fully burdened cost of employees (managers should know this, or you can default to something like $120K)
* Estimated time to read (based on wordcount and an average reading speed)
From there you can get the "hours wasted reading this mail" and "cost of this email".
EDIT: You could go above and beyond and use an open rate percentage to more accurately determine the cost, but that's not something an email client could record, it'd be server side.
First rule of HR : fire the ones who talk bad about HR. Come to think of it, that's what bad bosses do, too. Oh no, I should add the epiphany that "Enterprises are like Operating Systems in which, by design, the malware has the Highest Priority" to the thread on Epiphanies : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7545284 !
