If I had to guess, a way to get around max message sizes which at the
time were plaguing usenet.
Well, system administrators generally have a good reason for setting
the maximum message size, and for RFC authors to attempt to subvert that
is just plain wrong.
Yes, but this was also written during the days of open relay and expected
multi-hop mail delivery. What the end-points enforced and what the
in-betweens decided were different.
