Valid email message must contain at least the following entries in
header [1] [2]:
- From
- Date
- Message-ID
- (only for reply msg) In-Reply-To
"Subject" is not required by specifications, but in practice
it is a standard. Anyway that means you'll get at least 4 lines
overhead for first message and 5 lines header for replies. Removing
that can lead to weird behavior.
