Subject: [USMA:36285] File attachments (we need a rule!)
This morning I thought there was something wrong with my computer. The e-mail program was stuck, attempting to download message 7 of 15. Tens of minutes went by with no change.
I disconnected, then re-connected and logged into my web mail. My ISP immediately warned me that my e-mail box was 140% over capacity, and it was because someone had sent several messages with multi-megabyte attachments to the USMA list!
I was so furious that I instantly deleted those messages without opening them. I was expecting an e-mail message from a friend of mine this morning, and it was probably bounced back because the e-mail box was full. We need a firmly-enforced rule on this list regarding e-mail attachment file size (if it's over X bytes, don't attach it--post a link!). If this happens one more time, I'm going to unsubscribe for good. -- Jason
