In article <[e-mail]> you write:

The amount of bandwidth used by e-mail is a rounding error of the
Internet's total, which is mostly video these dayts, and the amount
used by broken headers is a rounding error on that rounding error.

Look at the headers of the mail in your inbox, particularly mail from
large providers, and you'll find megabytes of headers that nobody is
ever likely to look at or use.  This battle was over decades ago.
