Without quoting the entire message, I think I better solution, in terms of ease to implement as well as conserving bandwidth would be to have a sophisticated remailer script-language.
Yeah, this is really an excellent idea, that I don't see happening any time soon. Although of course if anyone wants to write code for such a beast, that would be really excellent. If someone gets around to writing it, it'll happen, but it would be a fairly big project, so I wouldn't hold my break. Safe TCL, anyone?
Hmmm... this could be combined with the "subway" remailer idea too. Have a message format that can contain multiple destinations and a script lang also can pick up and drop off messages, and messages can specify if they are to be picked up or dropped off, etc.... endless possibilities... I don't have the C/Unix skills to even attempt this though.
