Just out of curiosity, does anyone else see an inconsistency between bemoaning off-topic or 'me-too' posts (on the grounds of pay-per-byte extravagance), and tolerating Html/ Mime rubbish? I don't mind dealing with Mime attachments, even Jpegs, when they are relevant to the issues, but I fail to see the value of sending a 7k message where 1k plain text would do as well.
