Yahoo Answers -- some feature suggestions

Yahoo yesterday released Yahoo Answers! As one might expect its nothing but web 2.0 version of Forums! I think the following features will be make it even better...

1. Display top 5 photos with name for people whose answer were rated best in the past minute (this will motivate people to answer)
2. Provide ability for the user to rate questions and allow users to view consolidated ratings on questions

And posted a question saying "What new feature can be added to Yahoo Answers to make it better?" The following are the responses:
1. Spell checker
2. Questions should not appear in the front-page

Will Yahoo consider these?

e-mail - feature request

These are the features I see would be a nice add-on to any web based email systems...

1. Automatically create Zip file of a attached set of files and send just the zip file..
2. Support for on the fly uncompress for zip files and allow user to download the files that he might want...
3. Create notes on a given email and save it with the sent folder (so that the sender could refer back.. notes should not be sent to the recipient)
4. Ofcourse finally recall a sent email..

I am sure there can be more stuff to this list...
