You can't add anything to the general tab without risking the break-down of
built-in function like formatting.  Usually, the first thing to go is the
formatting of the telephone fields.  Then the formatting of the email fields
and/or the web site fields.

Also, you can't make changes to any of the dropdown lists.  So no field you
would add would ever appear in that list of email fields.

You can drag email fields to a back but the formatting will not work.  So, you
might as well just add the field as a text field.  That will be a lot safer.

No.  You will have to copy it from the back tab and paste it into the to
field.
