Doubling or tripling of mail size will double or triple the price of
Internet access for those who actually have to pay for their access - e.g.
in those countries, where you pay for local phone calls by the minute (or any
other time unit). That seems rather reckless to me... Hence, there is a very
strong economical interest from some people in keeping mails short.
