Mail features I would like to see

Some changes to Mail I would like to see. (These are from how Outlook for Mac operates and I guess Apple would never want to borrow anything from MS so I suspect I'll never see these added.)
1. The way Mail handles attachments >> Dropping them (pdf's mostly for me) into the body of the email break up my Signature lines. Windows / Outlook recipients complain about attachments from me. Outlook for Mac adds another line below the Subject line and places the attachments there. And, unlike Mail, in Outlook you don't have to scroll down to find multiple attachments. They are all up on the newly added line. (I have tried Attachment Tamer but it's not much of an improvement.) And Mail should have the "Windows friendly" email feature.
2. I would like to delete InBox mail from the top down. That's how most people read a book. From the top of the page, down. That's how Outlook for Mac works. In Mail, if I have 200 new emails and want to peek at them quickly, and delete as I work along, I have to keep selecting the next one down. A big deal? No, but a simply illogical method.
3. Outlook for Windows has this feature but not Outlook for Mac >> but I would love to see it in Mail. The ability to "delay sending" an email. Often I'm up at 6 AM on the East Coast and want to write 10 emails to business contacts on the West Coast. I don't want them popping into their early morning workflow and would like to delay sending them to PM. Or, if I need to remind someone of something 3 days from now, I can write the email today and set it to send 3 days from now. Very convenient.
4. Outlook for Mac has a little "Delete from Server" button on the top left of each email you are viewing. Clicking that button removes the email from your Server immediately. Real handy for junk or never needed again emails. Especially when you boot up an iPad or iPhone those don't come rolling in requiring deletion again.
