[Design] Not including to/from in emails from Chandler

Hi Folks,
Why do we include From: and To: in emails sent from Chandler? I think
the reasoning behind this was that you might be sending out a message
with addressees that aren't email addresses (gobbledygook).
If there aren't any non-email-address addressees, could we skip putting
the From: and To: in the body of the email? It's redundant and from my
perspective detracts from understanding what new information the body of
the email contains.
Similarly, will the email's Date: field ever differ from the date we put
in the body? If not, then I'd rather not include that bit of
redundancy, either, or at least don't include those details if they
don't differ from the email.
Finally, what if we instead of:
*Repeat of email-subject* at *location* on *date info*
We said:
Event details: at *location* on *date info*
I find that I have trouble distinguishing the event details from the
date the message was sent.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
