I just looked at a message that had 120 lines--
8 lines were the address header. ( I have my mail setup for minimum headers)
2 lines were the message from the last sender.
about 8 lines were his (pictorial) signature.

that leaves the real useless trash, which was about 100 lines that were just
copies of messages that had copies in them.

These copies of copies could be edited down to leave just enough to tie them
to an origin and subject, without repeating the WHOLE thing !!!

Sending 120 lines (BIG chunk of bandwidth !) just to originate two short
lines is ridiculous, and more so, because this was from a Ham, who should
KNOW BETTER !!
