I have tried hard, and will continue to try, to persuade Richard (and others at the IETF to be fair) to drop this unpersuasive "reduce the carbon footprint" argument for small efficiency wins. It's just not a good argument and it distracts energy away from the things that will make meaningful differences to the lives of abuse desks or end users. The only real "reduce carbon footprint" would be to reduce the amount of email being sent That would be a 100% reduction in the byte size.
