Hmmm... it could be argued that adding voice _is_ actually adding
something that might, just might, increase the worth of the message.

OTOH adding HTML, fancy graphics, and cute animations is really
_detracting_ from the basic message.

Or maybe it is also adding something: a profile of the sender <GGG>

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
