Jackie, thinking of the about the other over 18 million in the states still having your old download problems. Why are you using HTML text instead of plain text as a plain text email can be downloaded faster.

For them, attachments can be a real pain. I remember one night on another list waiting almost a half hour for a message with an attachment to download - and of course, on my service, I had no other way to get to other messages until that downloaded. For many its not just a matter of what we would like to see. For some it is also a matter of fees - there are some people who still get charged for the amount of bandwidth downloaded. For them it can be a pocketbooks issue. It's not a matter of trying to exclude likes - it is a matter of trying to include folks. I now have my high-speed, but only because I moved.
