I can certainly understand Mike's comments, since I am also using
'Dial-up' (not Broadband) - and it took a while to down-load all
the pictures, plus "avi" file, which were posted by Phil Walker.
Although I would not put a 'blanket-ban' on ALL attachments, I do
think that there should be some upper limit (for each individual
message) - of say 10 Kbytes, which covers text plus attachments.
That should allow any reasonable size GIF diagrams, and probably
small 'thumbnail' JPEG photographs - as aids to the E-mail text.
However, this is only workable if the system at "uni-koeln" could
establish the size of a message - and 'reject' any over-size ones.
I assume this is technically possible, for the E-mail 'experts'.
Otherwise, could I please ask that members of this list simply
include a 'link' to an appropriate website address - where any
large files can be down-loaded, if a person chooses to do this.
Mrs Linda Reid - (normally just a 'lurker' on this list)!
