I've noticed a small issue with my email client for quite some time now where composing a new email will have several blank lines by default.

It's not too much of an issue to simply delete them but hey, maybe no one had pointed this out before! So I filed a bug report only to get this response... basically it's not a bug, its a feature!

"Expected behavior" doesn't mean "intended behavior." It just means that it's a bug they know how to fix but don't have the bandwidth to fix yet. So it's not a feature, it's just a defect that isn't important enough to remove yet.

Most likely, next time they have cause to open the file that's causing the bug, they'll fix this too. Fixing bugs by attrition is one of many ways to keep dev costs low. Well, lower.
