being able to send mail to characters on the same account!

Seriously, all you folks at SE, you are bringing to this game lots of great new content and features that make this gem shine all the brighter, but the restrictions you have placed on in-game mail messages border on the ludicrous.

What is so dangerous about being allowed to send mail to our mates in our Free Companies without being on their friends' lists? What is so horrific about being able to send mail to other characters of our own on our own accounts on the same server?

Please, let us send mail to ourselves. Please, let us send mail to our Free Company mates without having to send a friend request to the several hundred characters on our FC Member List.
