For slowly catching up with standard mail user agent functionality? Claws-Mail had this since 2006.

I mean, sure, it is probably better than Outlook and Yahoo mail and all the other webmail clients out there…but good?

A 2 years lag is not so bad. This was a "lab" feature since 2008 and a "standard" feature since 2010. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com.ar/2008/09/new-in-labs-handy-i...
I would still be upset about a two years lag, especially since I am rather positive that such features existed far earlier than 2006 in other clients and even if that wasn’t the case, it shouldn’t take Google Mail (Google!) two years to implement such a trivial feature when it is already available in a small open source project.
