You are confusing me. Am I missing something here, or was my description
ambiguous? I was talking of real letters and parcels, but even your
email example remains valid as the headers containing sender, recipient
etc "wrap" the contents thus making the whole thing bigger. But a real
parcel with styrofoam chips, cardboard and an address label might be
more easily understandable to non-computer person.
