I think there's another good reason to give karma to people who send emails: among other things, as EY noted in Why Our Kind Can't Cooperate, there's a pattern in online circles of being silent when you agree and being loud when you disagree. That sort of thing makes a false impression of what is going on.

Now that you said that, I realized that you were right, and up-voted all the "e-mail sent" comments so far.
