This bothers some more than others (as with everything else in life).
There are two grpups.  One is practicle.  In this one people are limited by
their email provider as to how much email (KB?) they can send / receive.
This is a very ligitimate reason to not want 2 or more copies of the exact
same thing.   The second group is preferential.  They just don't like the
hastle.  This latter group usually get a lot of email in general (say 20 or
more a day) and sorting out junk and duplicates gets old fast.  I myself
can get as many as 80 or so in one day.  So I fall in the latter group.

What irritates me just as much (if not more) are threads where two miles of
preceeding messages are all included.  They look like this.
