Tangentially, but relatedly, I sometimes wonder at this.

I cannot forget the painful memory of when a person sent me a multimegabyte database file (CSV?) and I hit 'r' and replied and said Thanks without looking at the quoted message, and had no idea that the entire database file was quoted at the bottom of my message.

Well, I noticed it was taking a little more time to actually send than normal, and then I was horrified to discover it.

I'm not sure whether this suggests this is a default in need of attention or clever heuristics (not that mutt is big on this) or what...
