Hello Thomas;
That's another use for .ZBMs. Or .GIFs for more general use. <G>
The ability of Arachne to make screenshots of either the whole screen
(print screen) or just the content (cntrlP) is ideal for making sure
the other parties see EXACTLY what you see.
The resultant .BMPs are obviously much to large to ship around the web
- althought many deal regularly with much larger bandwidth wasters.
Your message was 2083 bytes content, 3136 bytes including header.
A compressed screenshot of your message takes 20k in ZBM format (22k GIF)
It is two screens high. It would be nice in the future if we can take shots
of PARTIAL screens.
I'm not suggesting that we consider substituting pictures of email messages
for the text, because it should be obvious that compressing the text is more
efficient that compressing the picture. And anyway, it would be difficult to
get even Arachne users to agree to use 640x480 for text. <G>
But it's still nice to have that ability to send screenshots to our friends.
