What does (did) the .sig length matter when some messages include HTML duplicates, such as:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD>

<META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content='"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=GENERATOR>

etc...

and periodically, there are the bursts of WINMAIL.DAT attachments... all of which consume archive space, unnecessarily.

I'm curious, too, about how David Marshall will handle these and other less content oriented and more list/archive management type issues.
