Unfortunately, GMail (the Java MIDlet) does the same thing.  I learned
that and quickly stopped using it.  It's patently stupid to not be able
to trim the message.  It's not like a Blackberry or a Windows Mobile
device is so constrained that trimming is impossible, the programmers
were just lazy.

After all, I could intelligently bottom-post on my 80386 system I had
once upon a time, and on systems that I had before that...
