Forcing someone to be as careless as the sender is rather rude, sort of like stepping out 
in front of a bus, and dragging those around you along with you.

Perhaps I don't want to read something badly enough to step in front of a bus.

Or, I could go into "JF" mode, and claim it's to discourage readers, and then when no one 
reads it, HP can figure there are no more VMS users and discontinue the product.
