It appears he is using Microsoft Mail, which sends formatting information
along
with the message. I suspect users of this program and some others, like
Netscape, which can send HTML, don't realize that they're sending all that
junk along with the mail, sometimes tripling the size of the text files.
They probably also don't know how to turn it off :-(
