Also consider those of use who use something like GPRS on a day-to- |
| 14 |
day basis. We generally pay by the byte while we're on the move so |

have a very good reason to trash these heavy emails. My regular MUA |

can't even process HTML; why would I pay extra to read a load of |

angled brackets? |
