I think most of you are missing the reason the mailboxes are over-flowing and this message confirms it. Limit messages to 1MB? 512KB? If everyone would just post a link to their files/images, the message size could be capped at 20K. I don't know how many times I've cleaned out my message box only to have 20 messages come in with 200-300K attachments Also, having the tag line at the bottom repeated more than once seems to use a lot of space. If all replies were not tagged that way, it would drastically reduce message sizes. I also subscribe to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Of 60 messages I got this week, only 4 are over 10K <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 5 of 161 This list = 50 of 189
