Hello,
Allow me to attract your attention to a NON-Postfix issue, but rather to
a more generic email issue on which I need to find the right direction
to search for an explanation. I hope your experience and expertise may
guide me to a solution.
The problem: I am sending an HTML email (using Thunderbird) to a
particular recipient; the email has a size of a couple of KB. When I get
a reply to it from the original recipient, it has grown to a size of 2.5
MB although I can't see anything that can explain this size. No photos,
no logos, no visible attachments.
Here is an excerpt from the source of such a message, which may help:

The whole message is available to anyone who would like to see it. I can
provide a link to a zipped eml file.
This is a "detective" story to me.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help!
