Yes, it has to be decoded to be viewable, and has to be one line.
<EOL> is treated as the end of file for the decoder.

Possibly, it would, yes. However, as Manoj has pointed out, people
that don't trim posts they're replying to are also guilty of wasting
bandwidth. I try to be careful about what I post, trimming and the
such-like (no HTML from here) as it's not that long ago I was on dial-up
myself. Although, even then, I had a Face header in my messages.
In any case, if "everybody did it", I'd stop. If only because I prefer
to be 'different' from everybody else. In so far as I can, of course.
