 What is all this noise about automatically playing emails? It can be
 very helpful for blind-people (with some assistance), for example. Or a
 person working elsewhere and hearing his/her emails.
 
 In the end, everything can be used constructively or destructively. It
 is for us to choose the right one with our judgement.
