And it is not in yandex. Most importantly, it is not required. As such, if 
this were implemented, it would have to be in a header that all messages 
have. Remember that what we are looking for is a solution to the situation 
where you do not want to define a role, not discuss if we should implement 
something that will only work for those that have the requirements.

If this were to be solved by using roles, it could be sped by enabling

  [X]  Enable Take Rules

and then pressing T on a message that will help define the role. Not 
ideal, but it is better than the current state.
