Now let me ask you, why is it more environmentally friendly to have smaller file sizes? I need to know, so that I can make that point. I myself don't really see how that is more environmentally friendly.
Easy. Think processor time, energy, cooling in the NOC, in each and every point on the path from me to thee.
A 2MB file, as in the example mentioned, consumes just about 2,000 times as much energy as does a plain text file of 1KB.
Besides, think of the energy used by your own machine just to open the bloat.
One message? No big deal, just pico cents. Nine billion messages a day (a figure I read recently); however is a *BIG* deal, like maybe a barrel or two of oil, don't you think?
Besides which it is much, much more secure to use plain text e-mail. No hidden scripts, no funny re-directs to malware sites, etc.
