I think I get more junk email than junk paper mail.  Anyway, if
senders had to store pending messages, receivers could develop ways of
recognizing them and could avoid downloading the messages, even if
they couldn't avoid the notification that there was a message to be
downloaded.  So there would be at least some traffic savings.
