Discussion on: A recruiter sends you a job proposal with "URGENT" in the subject. What do you think and how do you respond?

URGENT has 6 characters, but it probably came with three exclamation marks and a space to separate it from the rest of the subject - so make it 10 characters for URGENT!!!.

These 10 characters are all within the ASCII range, so in UTF8 they should be 10 bytes - but lets say that recruiter decided to use UTF32 encoding, making it 40 bytes.

An overpriced GiB of bandwidth costs $5.

So, adding "URGENT" cost that recruiter at most 0.000000466ยข. And that's how much you should value it.
