Some of us don't have the option to turn off the "fluff" - vcards and
all that, I understand, but the employer mumbo jumbo isn't our choice,
it's done server-side and after we've sent the email. I am in the cat.
Of those that can't reach outside mail and so this is my only option. I
hate it, but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.

I know it's useless, but I just want to point out, that not all persons
can have a "perfect" setup like you ask. Thanks for being tolerant! ;P
