No? You're sure? If so, have a look at this message:
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
From: "Phil Lamey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Subject: unsubscribe
It simply contains the word "unsubscribe" and is 30 lines long! And if you
only compare the line numbers of HTML vs. plain text, it is 14:1. And
bytewise it is 309 bytes for the HTML junk vs. 12 bytes for plain text.
That's a ratio of 25.75:1. And because he wrote the message as HTML + plain
text, the ratio is even worse for html! >27:1. Don't know how much greater,
because sending an attachment will add some header and delimeter lines, that
were not present if he would've only sent the mail in plain text.
It just doesn't work like this? I don't think so! THAT is the way it
works!
