A jpg won't (it's compressed already). The time difference between

Please stare at the screen for the next 20-30 seconds....by the

Now repeat for all ten emails you've got incoming.... still there?
In most of the HTML emails I receive, all the pictures and graphics
are loaded from an external server, they are NOT embedded in the
message. Therefore, the message body is still plain text (it contains
HTML code, but not pictures) and it is small. Modern mail clients
give you the option to load images only if you want to. So this "big
size" thing is really a misconception, if the email is properly
built. It takes 3 seconds to load the message without graphics, I can
read it just fine, and if I want to see it all, I just click "Load
images" (in Apple Mail) and here it is.
