Scott McNeally (Sun) had a great comment on this 5+ years ago. He compared
a overblown Microsoft email message with fonts and colors and a text message
something like : "Let's hvae lunch" spelled incorrectly on purpose to
show just
how much computing power is wasted.
And the part about only quoting what you need too, the old News readers
for (CNews and INN) would inforce that you typed more than you quoted.
One other point to make is to minimize cross posting.

I installed Spamassassin last week on FreeBSD and integrated it into my
procmail filters. I went from 100+ spam messages getting past my home
grown filters in a week to 2 since Sunday. I think I read in the sparse doco
that it has Windows availablity.
It even caught Jeff Zorn's (LBCarCo) spam. :-) I fixed the config to let
that
through.
