There are standard ways to send posts written in HTML and with huge
binary attachments too, but I'm thankful that Usenet discussion
generally has remained as simple as possible thanks to most people
sensibly avoiding those options.
I'm guessing that Thunderbird's behaviour is inherited from its
behaviour with email. Email today is a perfect example of how bad
things can get by going the other way and stuffing every useless
non-feature possible into each message. The average size of text
emails that I receive has increased massively over the years, only
so that lots more processing has to be done to render them
(sometimes poorly) in plain text for me to read.
