I still use dial-up internet because I can't afford broadband at the present 
time.

And yes.....emails with big photo attachmants (thankfully, most people have 
more sense than to use bitmaps) DO take a long time to download.

    A few years ago, some of our subscribers compained about others posting to 
the list with large files attached (i.e., more than 500 KiB to 1 MiB), because 
these files could not be downloaded in a reasonable time with a dial-up 
connection.  A question for all subscribers:  do you still use a dial-up 
connection to access the Internet? If yes, please say so.  

    Thanks,

    Paul
