For those of us who read nanog from a mobile device, it's incredibly
annoying to have no content in the first few bytes - a lot of mobile
e-mail clients (all MS Windows Mobile 5 devices and every Blackberry
I've seen) pull the first 0.5KB of each message, i.e. the header,
subject line and the first few lines of text, so the user can decide
which ones are worth reading in full.
Intention is to save bandwidth on low-speed, noncertain networks
(GPRS, 1xRTT) which also tend to be metered per-bit - spending actual
money to read something like the following is always a great way to
start the day.
