That was a rhetorical question. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
It was just to show that once you start talking about your own comfort and convenience, it wouldn't hurt to consider if you'd be getting these at the expense of other people. This has nothing to do with etiquette, and pretty much everything with basic egoism. "But how would I search" remark above is a good example of this. One's entitlement for comfortably searching their mail history ends where my entitlement for keeping my replies off Google's radar begins. It always works both ways.
