They are now 100-150% bigger than when first I started following the IETF and it is not that people have more to say, but that the junk at the front has expanded out of all recognition. This costs, transmission time, processing storage etc. The transmission time is significant (I imagine) because of POP3 which seems to take 2n+ messages, n round trips, before starting to download anything out of n e-mails. But more importantly we have abolished the end-to-end principle. If I am going to benefit from improved security on e-mail, I want to from the originator to me, not some half-way house giving a spurious impression of accuracy.
