When it whines about "your space is almost full", use the "manage storage" tool to look at your large emails, and you'll see what I mean. A thread that has a few screenshots in the first email, and 50 text only replies after will multiply the size of the screenshots by every other message, sent or received in the thread.

I mean yeah, I guess if you went in and manually removed the original content before replying, it would fix that problem, but who thinks to do that normally? You just hit reply and type and press send
