I disagree, HTML messages are necessarily larger than the plain-text equivalent, because of the formatting tags. Your demonstration wouldn't work with a lossless compressed file, such as zip or xz. Using a lossy compressed file is cheating since SM is reencoding the file. So you're comparing: plain-text + original JPEG vs HTML + lower-quality JPEG Another way to minimize the size of the message is to disable base64 wrapping, and send 8-bit clean messages (which might not make it across all SMTP servers).
