What do you mean by "recognises list management headers"? All the mail
clients I use (and I wouldn't bother with any that don't) hide the
headers I don't want to see, but I can still see them with one command
if I wish to. As for headers > body in size, unfortunately this is the
way it is now. Surely you are not suggesting that people write more just
so that headers <= body? :-) Anyway, unless you are in a bandwidth
limited situation like E. Timor, one graphics rich web page > 10 emails.
And don't get me started on HTML mail.
