Hi Folkert.
I've just checked my archive of Linux-Kernel for emails during
the interval stated (posted from 00:44:02 to 16:59:59 on 4th
May 2003), and I can't even come close to the figures you quote,
although they're a lot better than the previous ones.
Here's what I see for that interval:
Total number of messages: 65
Total number of writers: 42
Number of people who wrote >1 message: 11
As far as my email archive is concerned, I can report these
statistics as far as claimed postage dates are concerned for
mail that has been received 25 March 2003 or later:
Date Posted Total Messages
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12 Mar 2003 1
23 Mar 2003 1
24 Mar 2003 1
25 Mar 2003 340
26 Mar 2003 287
27 Mar 2003 334
28 Mar 2003 226
29 Mar 2003 105
30 Mar 2003 89
31 Mar 2003 158
Note those three emails posted days before they were received.
Inspection of the Received headers thereon indicates in each
case that the local system clock was way out, all three being
actually posted on 3 April 2003.
I received a total of 7,294 emails marked as being posted between
00:00:00 on 1 April 2003 and 23:59:59 on 30 April 2003, and a
total of 2,693 emails marked as being posted between 00:00:00 on
1st May 2003 and 23:59:59 on 10th May 2003. That is an average of
243 per day during April and 269 per day during May, or an overall
average of 250 per day from 1st April to 10th May inclusive.
For reference, I have also received one email that claims to have
been posted on 5 July 2003, but the received headers suggest it was
actually posted on 8 May 2003 instead. This is not included in the
above totals.
Also, some of the other statistics just don't make sense...
> Total number of lines: 132322
> Total header length (lines): 90312
> The header is on average 68.25% of the message (lines).
Other than test messages, I don't think I've ever seen an email
with more header than body, so I have to be suspicious of this
particular statistic.
Best wishes from Riley.

I receive messages with about 40 lines of headers each, and most of them
have less than 30 lines of body, so on this point I must agree with Folkert.
Since we have long threads, most of the messages are small replies, like this
one I'm writing now. I'm fairly certain it will still have headers longer than
body.
Cheers,
Willy
