I'm really surprised that it's not Patrick who started this thread ;-) IMO:
1. In-line attachments of images (tables, patches, colored text, etc.) is a bad thing because they never look right and they take time and precious megabytes. 2. Links to third party sites used again and again in different types of mail attacks, shortened links especially dangerous. 3. HTML letters are bad for the same reason — formatting never looks right and it's easy to fake HTML links. Composing letters in Microsoft Mailsomething is eleventh sin. 4. Meanwhile I'm OK with attachment of any size which is accepted by server — attachments are loaded on demand. 5. Mailing list etiquette rules is a right way to solve this problem. Timur.
