Ask HN: Email service that limits incoming mail to 400 characters

2 points by waldr ↗ HN
Would you use a service that limited all incoming email to 400 characters? This would force messages to be a series of points and help ensure they stay on subject. This could possibly work as a priority service allowing longer emails but pushing them down the list. Basically a layer of short mail thats not client specific.

Yep short mail is great but you have to login and use their service to manage your email. I'm thinking more along the lines of being able to add a layer between imap and the client.
What about just sorting your emails by increasing size ?
