I know some people who never glance at their attachments before sending, to see how big they are. The demands on system capacity are multiplied when spamming a mailing list. An alternative is to send a link or URL address in one¹s e-message, directing people to a web address where the video is posted.

I thought that went out with the last century. And I thought my 6 MB/s cable was slow. I guess not. You know you can set your email program so as not to download attachments unless you authorize it.

Stephen Davis Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:46:46 -0700 I would greatly appreciate it if certain people refrained from sending big video attachments with their emails. This particular one was 7.33MB and as I only have dial-up, it took more than an hour to download the damn thing. Maybe send it as a zip file next time?
