True, but the amount is adds is pretty negligible. For example,
a sample messages culled from this list has 204 bytes of X-Face
header information, but it also has 178 bytes of spam status
headers and 454 bytes of list info metadata. The face adds just
over 4% to the size of the header, and hence is (in my book) an
acceptable gain. Or maybe I'm just being belligerent because I've
had a shitty day at work, and just want someone to argue with :-)
