I guess I have to take a contrary view here.
On a number of my lists people used to send very long messages - notably
newsletters or text copies of documents of one sort or another. These
days, they're more likely to send a short notice ("current issue
available") along with a link to a web page. In some cases, they'll send
a table of contents populated with links. Personally, I find this a
positive turn of events.
