1-the overall load large attachments put on the email system (and the whole internet) generally, not on specific subscribers on slow or metered connections
Preposterous!
So being wasteful yourself is in general OK because others waste more? That's no less preposterous.
The bulk of email traffic worldwide is spam, for one thing.
So?
Secondly, email attachments use only a vanishingly small portion of "the whole internet's" capacity.
OK, so you're OK with being and promoting brown instead of green. I'm not.
Thirdly, intelligent quote trimming would more than make up for any reasonable use of attachments.
A very good thing, but not directly related to the points made. If I was a list admin, both (all) attachments and top-posted M$-style full quotes would be fully deleted by filtering.
This silliness about email attachments is infinitesimal in comparison.
