He's complaining about your HTML e-mail. HTML mails are around three times 
as big as plain text ones, are rarely any more useful (most of the time 
they just enable people to send you uglier and more intrusive spam), and if 
you look at them in a non-HTML e-mail client, they appear twice: once in 
plain text and once in badly written HTML (since it's automatically written 
by Outlook and isn't efficiently coded at all).

While we're doing netiquette rants, perhaps I should ask you to only quote 
the bits of previous messages you need to - if you're sending a 2-line 
message, anything more than a paragraph of quoting seems a bit excessive.

As an example, your 2-line message follows. I've edited out most of the 
replies: please note, I haven't added anything!
