Fwd: Big hammers

[Horace Greeley]

Hi,

In exchanging EMs with Kent Swafford, it turns out that my posts were 
exceeding the 128Kb limit (as to size) that the list server filters have in 
place.

I suggest that, rather than embedding picture/drawings in the body of an 
EM, that they be sent as attachments.  The attachments are easily kept with 
responses (more easily with some EM readers than with others, I admit), and 
doing this means that the content will not be duplicated - which is what 
happened with the response I tried to post.

I do realize that embedding is/can be somewhat easier in original 
composition of a post; and that opening attachments often means having 
another application launch, which can slow things down.

On the other hand, keeping things as attachments means that the original 
pictures/illustrations can be kept right along with the conversational 
thread;  and, perhaps, more easily referred to.

Hand-in-glove with this suggestion is a request to put meaningful titles on 
pictures and documents sent with EMs.  Having all this stuff is really 
wonderful.  Having it stored in a way that would make things more easily 
identifiable would be even better.

Thanks for listening.

Best to all.

Horace
