Email is text. If you want graphics, throw up a web page somewhere.
You do realize the header is a maximum of 998 bytes. Even with 10,000 email you are talking about 10MB of drive space.
With the price of hard drives today being what they are ($70 for a 250GB, $0.00000028 per MB) I am not sure your point is valid, if your point is space consumption.
Personally I think it's spiffy to see the author image on the email gives some personality and allows for some creativity.
