I think it's a _feature_ to count the included content, so that people who
(often recursively) top-post on long prior messages, instead of editing down
to just the bit(s) they are replying to, have some negative feedback for that
(irritating) habit.
For now, I'm just trying to confirm my impression of the data. Folks who
don't make a case/case choice as to inline/top and removing chaff and
unneeded context probably aren't going to care where they stand on the
total byte count issue.
