Two suggestions for people sending pictures of electron density to the BB:
1. Reduce the size of the pictures-
The two pictures in yesterday's email appear nice and small in my email client, but still
illustrate what is being described. However they are actually 4032x3024 and 2040x1458
pixels, making for rather large emails. All that extra resolution is wasted unless the
user opens the image directly ("view image"), and in any case is completely
unnecessary for the point being made. I think about 600x600 pixels is plenty for almost
anything you want to show in electron density.
This does not require manipulation in photoshop or such- just reduce the size
of the graphics window and take a screenshot of that window.
2. send the picture as an attachment rather than inline. That way it won't be
included in all the replies. Or if the people replying could find some way to
exclude pictures or formt the reply as plain-text, that would help.
(No, I'm not receiving these emails via 1200 baud modem- but I like to save the
messages for future reference. If the trend continues toward high-resolution
inline screenshots, that will take a significant amount of disk space. And yes,
I know there is an archive.)
