I usually trim the html crap  100%.  Except for the windows people that 
think its cute to send all that fancy stuff and  don''t klnow how to turn it 
off, AND aren't interested in learning how because its pretty on their 
screen.  But it will often quaduple the size of a 10 line message they are 
sending and don't care!

There are still places on this planet where that wasted bandwidth can amount 
to a huge penalty for that user when he goes to pay his net bill even if he 
is paying for it in scrawny chickens.  

We should be ashamed of ourselves.

Nick, you made a comment quite a few years back about the net bandwidth for 
the internet getting to Aussie land wasn't much faster than a telephone 
modem because it was passing thru the original Telstar satellite. I'd assume 
there are better birds out there now, but  did any of the big boys ever lay 
in a mutlicore fiber cable?
