The cost for large organisation runs to $millions per year for these theatrics. The upshot for me is that turning it off (on the grounds that it doesn't work and is simply fluff) doesn't look likely because someone will have to admit they were beguiled by this nonsense. Also the idea that the email gets through instantly is also illusory - a little benchmarking shows that handling all this (scanning, stripping, previews etc) is not much faster than scanning the payload anyway.

It's not in fetchmail proper yet. I am open to doing it some day, but
that requires several other items to be done first, better tracking of
downloaded message for IMAP, different alternative format of .fetchids,
and similar.
