Yes, it's bothersome.  Look up "netiquette" on google.

I'm especially bothered by insults.  Does that make me thin skinned and boring
too?  Look, you clearly read very little email, if you find yahoo or hotmail
adequately address your email needs.  When you have to wade through hundreds
of messages daily, however, the cruft is certainly annoying.  Imagine if
everyone had your attitude.  Everyone's email boxes would be twice the size,
and it would take everyone twice as long to separate the real message from all
of the crap.

Why the cheesiest webmail vendors on the planet your only option?
