I agree with this somewhat, however I am loathe to make cost dependent
in any way on content. In order to preserve the status quo of
communication, I'd like to be absolutely content neutral. If the cost
were based on the amount of mail sent, I'd say that would be
sufficient.

Heh. I'm using the mailing list, which is perhaps why references
headers (an artifact of NNTP) don't process here.
