You detest pgp-inline for the main reason I prefer it. Wouldn't life
be boring if we all liked the same things?

Given all the corporate non-sense footers "requiring" us to
telepathically know whether or not the sender meant to include us in
the circulation list and to delete it without reading if the answer is
"No", most email users are well-practised at ignoring anything that
seems irrelevant.

I tend to find those poor unfortunates usually top-post, so all the
extraneous content is off-screen below their message. But so is
anything that could give context to their pearls of wisdom.

Presumably this virtual massacre adds to the virtual problem of global
warming.

Those of us on a metered connection would be with you all the way.
Except that HTML emails are a far bigger bandwidth-hog.

I find that my screen territory all comes back when I delete the
email.
