You know, I just had a thought about this... why isn't HTML email
compressed with gzip compression, like many web browsers/servers do
today. Most text compresses very well, and HTML certainly does.
As long as there is a defined mime type for it, such that MTAs can still
do spam filtering, etc. , it should work pretty well, I would think.
