Your mobile phone emits massively un-necessary hidden bloated text like this:

> ----_com.samsung.android.email_3142623690283970
> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

> ----_com.samsung.android.email_3142623690283970
> Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

Consider changing your mailer settings, or using a different mailer app,
(there's loads of choice of mailer apps on Android).

Recipient mail tools usually invisibly discard such mailer excrement,
so often ignorant senders & recipients don't know it's happening, but
the global six fold waste of text in base64 is gross, & you make it worse:

  Base64 alone wastes bandwidth by a factor of 2, 50% waste on text.

  Use Base64 for eg pictures & PDF, but not plain text. Base64 is
  also abused by spammers to hide from automatic spam phrase
  detection.  So base64 is a criteria for server provider & recipient
  spam detectors to mark mail to your recipients as likely spam.
  Unless your recipient has previously white listed you as a sender,
  your bloated base64 text junk may be silently discarded or
  automaticaly dumped in their junk folder.

Your mailer should also not send HTML text:
  HTML bloats by a factor of approximately 2, depending what generates
  how much HTML extra meta rubbish.  HTML is also used by spammers
  to disguise spam, so HTML mail is also more likely dumped.

Mailers should not send both text & HTML alternates,
  bloating by a factor of 3, ie 200% extra wasted data.

The typical Samsung mailer in the example above bloats by a factor of 6 (Six) :
  2 (base 64 of plain) + 2 (html) * 2 (base 64) & scores you 2 point
  on the automatic "likely spam" detectors, which might not matter
  to those you already know, who may have white listed you as a
  known sender, not a spammer, but it increase your chance that
  anyone new you mail will not even see your mail, as marked "Probably Spam"

Consider the global bloat !  Wasting bandwidth at mobile owners'
data tariff expense, plus delaying adjacent data on parts of internet,
wasting net providers electricity in data centers, increasing global
warming, wasting CPU time, electricity, battery & storage of sender,
net provider, & recipient.

PS Base64 text is also harder for recipients to quote in answer,
on older more ecologically sound un-replaced hardware using lighter
weight mailers: They have to mouse copy text & laboriously re-insert
"> " each line of original.

You & others sending in bloated HTML + Base64 force recipints to waste money
buying newer hardware to strip your bloat: You make them add to gobal warming.

Please reconfigure your settings on your grossly bloating mailer,
or select a different mailer tool. On Android there's a big choice
of free mailer apps.
