Why break delivery when you can break sending?
just store the contents locally, and replace the body with some URL that the user has to click..
then, when non-gmail users have been desensitized to clicking links in emails 'because gmail', and get viruses constantly, sell them gmail as a way to have email without risk of viruses.
win win!

- e12e 9y agoYeah, and it's not really email either. Facebook started doing something similar for its "email notifications" a good while back. At one point, they sent the comment body in the email notification alerting you to a new comment - so you didn't have to use the (Web) app just to read a couple of lines of text. So they used to have email integration. These days they've settled for email annoyance.
- e12e 9y agoNot sending the content is breaking delivery (of email). I mean, sure, replace the headers and mail body with a link to your gopher site or something. But at that point, you're not really delivering email anymore.
