I agree with this.  Some of the messages that float around my lists tend to
bounce back as errors due to the destination domains rejecting them because
of their size.  Any feature that trims down the extra bits would be most
welcome.

Mind you, because I send messages from behind an alias that means my
signature would probably get lost.......bummer.
